I've seen over a dozen 10 reg cars, but then there's loads of dealers stock yards round where I work so you see them driving the cars to the dealers still covered in the plastic wrap stuff used to protect the paint. Also seen 1 3008 on the A69 a couple of times now.

Only spied a terrible Suzuki Alto so far. As it lives outside my house. It's litterally a hairdressers car, and looks very much like it came out of a kinder egg. The hairdresser seems very pleased with it though. She must have been swayed by that chocolate egg

From our dealership we have delivered approx 25 "10" plate cars so far, with the 207's making up the most of the numbers.

About 4 x 3008's, 2 x 5008's and some 308 hdi's as well.

Cant say im a fan of the way the 3008 looks, but its a lovely drive, road noise and wind noise are almost non existant, and the 1.6 hdi 110bhp is a willing performer.

Still no positive signs of RCZ being on its way either.

I aint seen nuffin yet :( mind you on the way to work at 06:15 I sometimes only see the same few cars (like the guy in the old E reg fiat panda and the guy in the M reg Scooby) and maybe only 10 or 15 cars at most (the record is 4 cars I think).

On the way home at 17:30 I'm in get-me-home mode and not so bothered.

At the weekends my car stays mostly where I parked it on the drive whilst I paint, paint, paint the house :| (only 3 rooms left to do).

Will report back my first 10 plater though and hope it's a good'un 8)

Seen quite a few over the weekend and since, reckon I wasn't paying attention last week :oops: . Most of the ones I've see are small cars, sign of the times? :roll:

A sign of the extended scrappage scheme maybe?

Just about every other car is some Korean lash-up with a dodgy name :roll: one can't help wondering that all these cars will be worth next to FA in a couple of years given that they were bargain-basement jobbies at the start.

Hey Dai, yours'll be up for scrappage next year - fancy dibbing it in for an Dai-woo Falacio? :P :P
