Tax Discs/license fees

21 June 2006 - 06:33 PM

Read an article on news.com yesterday about the DoT (or whatever it's
now called since I left Blighty) going after the "hardcore" non-payers
and was curious about reactions from you guys, i.e. waste of time/tax-payer
money or a good idea? Or should they sell the vehicles instead of crushing
them?

What are the oldest machines you remember playing?

(Aka how were you *really* when you started playing ;)


Aaahhh.... the trips down memory lane... sometimes they're rather scary.
Just been looking through the mecca and saw some real old machines that
made me realise how long ago, and how young i was, when i was playing
the damn things.

Here's 5 that i remember, the earliest of them was like 77/78 i think.
(Yah, i'm a fossil) :)
