$90k USD is around 45k pounds sterling. That will not buy you much of anything supercar-wise in the UK.....certainly not a decent used DB7.

You really want to know why there is such high tax?


Well the royal family (crooks) own the friggin place and you are paying them rent so they can do anything they want ie. sexcapades, take lavish vacations to remote place in the world where most people hardly even leave their own country.

I was in Europe once, I'll never go back unless it is back to Germany to visit family again. Oh and Sweden, women there are pretty hot.

Yea, that wasn't a very intelligent comment, but who am I to say.



Although you shouldn't have backed it up with (I was in Europe once) It hardly makes you an expert.

Cars are expensive there only because of the exchange rate. The average British worker makes more than Americans. Don't think of it in dollars because we get raped on the exchange rate in England. I had to live with it for three years and it sucks trying to convert my meager pay to cover bills on the British economy.
