Default Remove ADRs and other blockers for cool cars

Now we won't have any local manufacturers, time to get rid of tariffs, ADRs, NCAP, luxury tax etc. I want a KTM X Bow or Caterham for a decent price. Where is The Motoring Enthusiasts Party?

Bureaucrats do themselves out of a job? Not likely.

Default Re: Remove ADRs and other blockers for cool cars

I finally want to be a public servant........where do I apply for a job in the "Cool Cars Department". You know, the department that decides which cars are cool enough to not need to meet the old ADR's. Maybe that is why Clarkson is doing his best to be sacked from Top Gear....

I want to join these guys - The Motoring Enthusiasts Party.
Money for nothing and a ripper super deal.

But back on topic, why cant I get a X Bow or an Ariel Atom?
Safety? When anyone can get an R1 or CBR1000?
