Agree it depends on your circumstances, but don't forget there are twice as many cars on the road today as there were 20 years ago. That's clearly disposable income - so "we" are hardly poorer. Since it neatly spans governments of both persuasions it's not a party-political point either.
Shame this doubling isn't reflected in motorport. I wonder if the MSA isn't losing touch, r.e. drifting as mentioned above, especially with the "younger generation". Anyone got the stats to hand on how the numbers of MSA licences of different types have varied over the last decade or two or what the age profile is?
BTW I think EVEYTHING is too expensive.
