VW, Lies, compo, and all things diesel
Never having had the fortune of payouts (Building societies, PPI, tripping over scouse pavements, etc) I suddenly find myself scanning the news for the ever increasing list of cars with 'defeat mechanisms'. Maybe I can join a class action and get doshola heading my way. Then again, it's more likely lots of cxnts will get compo on their new work provided cars and I'll be left with massive bills to get my car past its MOT, into London, etc.
That is of course if I actually own a Skoda. Probably just in my imagination...

We c*nts, you shithouse, pay an amount of tax against the emissions given out by our cars and for many of us it's one of the deciding factors. So stick that in your fecking vapour-ciggie.Lost Leopard Spot wrote: lots of cxnts will get compo on their new work provided cars

So, to date you'll have been taxed against the claimed levels.Bruce Rioja wrote:We c*nts, you shithouse, pay an amount of tax against the emissions given out by our cars and for many of us it's one of the deciding factors.

Only after his all does down would you possibly be asked for more ... at which point you'd have a case, as that wasn't what you made your tax option upon.
Now, if the Govt. tries to go back & tax you against your actual emission levels ... despite you being duped/lied to then -
a). They'd be crackers .... and
b). You'd have to forward said demands plus costs and damages to VW.
I think there's a way to go before how this is dealt with is decided.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

I doubt they'll do anything retrospective - So I await a significant rebate on my road tax and an appropriate reduction going forwards.

Re: VW, Lies, compo, and all things diesel
Which has given me a brilliant idea... VW could harvest the errant emissions and use them to top up e-ciggies...
Everyone's a winner
(apart of course from the people who actually inhale, but hey, no risk no gain
).

Never quite worked out (except for some subtle marketing) the lure of the e-fag, rather have the real thing.Lost Leopard Spot wrote:Which has given me a brilliant idea... VW could harvest the errant emissions and use them to top up e-ciggies...

Excellent. Now we need a class action for the folks paying full whack. Victimization that is. I feel my human rights have been abused and I'm losing sleep over it. A back dated cheque for 9 years worth + damages should do it.Bruce Rioja wrote:Bijou Bob wrote:Dear Sir,
