Hey everyone! In today’s video, I’m addressing a trending topic that’s been circulating on social media. A video featuring a girl accurately describing a 1970 Trans Am Firebird, specifically the iconic “screaming chicken” on the bonnet and the turbo boost gauge in the bonnet duct, has been unfairly criticised. It’s time to correct these misconceptions and apologise on behalf of those who jumped to conclusions.

Could major changes be coming to the historic vehicle tax exemption we rely on? In today’s video, we’re unpacking a concerning piece of communication that hints at possible changes to the tax exemptions for classic cars in the UK. A subscriber’s back-and-forth with the DVLA might have inadvertently revealed the possibility that the UK Chancellor could be reconsidering the 40-year rolling exemption rule for historic vehicles. With Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s Autumn Statement scheduled for November 22nd, and given the switch to electric vehicles, the government could be eyeing historic vehicles as a source of recouped revenue. This could affect approximately 1.5 million vehicles in the UK!
