  1. Dont listen to them pussys the only problem i had was they get scratched easy,the amount of weight you save in real terms is very small,so yeah not much point on a road car But the other thing is the strength,if you crash you will have less glass flying everyware, im told the police riot vans use this because bricks ect just bounce off I will be using it again in my mk2,i want it to be as light as i can get it Plus i like the bronze tint
  2. A lot lighter imo,pick up a glass rear screen then pick up a polycarb one

  23. Stopped? It was never a rolling tax exemption, the date was fixed at introduction and has never moved. That's not my recollection of it smudger. The Conservatives introduced it as a rolling 25 year exemption and labour axed the rolling part of it when they got in in 1997 hence why we have the end of 1972 as a cut off. Thats what i thought aswell,and the amount if people who i talk to about classic cars still think any car 25 years or older will be tax exempt,then i hav e to explain the pre 73 rule
