Just bought myself an early Christmas pressie!!

or with a bit of creativity, the "show plate" version might look a bit like this....





Now all I need is a brand new car to put it on.... (not available until March, better start saving!! )

[OdinEidolon]

Uhm... brand new car? Which one?
Make it be the BRZ!

Nice.

But I thought I had problems with my W plate. With a 12 plate, cheap cars will definitely be a no-no for you Mr Rees.

I thought it was only illegal to sell a car with newer-than-registered plates on?

Nah mate, you can't assign a registration that'll make a car look newer than it is. Or are you suggesting something else

So you'll need a new, non used car to fit that?
Is this service free in UK? Here it isn't even possible to fit a different plate.

The number is mine now, but I won't be able to put it on a car that's first registered before March 2012. There's nothing stopping me keeping it on retention for 10 years if I want (you have to pay a retention fee, not sure how much) then buying a 9 year old car and assigning this number to it.

The price I paid this morning includes 1 years retention and an assignment fee, so If I were to buy a car that's new enough within the next year it won't cost me a penny to get the number put on it.

My best bet might be to hang on 'till the autumn and then buy a 6 month old car (for about 60 - 70% of the new price!!)

You tart Dai!
Very cool plate, you'll have to update your sig pic with it now!

Retention fee is £25 per year mate.

Or you could buy a new scooter! Don't worry though, with a full face crash helmet nobody will be able to recognise you

No, hold on a minute...

Oh dear oh dear, how very, very childish
