Fascinating.  Struggled to remember my old registrations but found all my old cars!

Also some of my parents.  I remembered an old toyota they bought new in 1987 and kept until 98.  That has now had eight owners, including a new one two months ago!

Here's my current car.

Interesting. I must have driven some old sheds then in my time because non of my old cars are on the road anymore, maybe has something to do with me running them into the ground.  :)

Some iteresting results from a few of my old motors:

None of my old fords came up anymore (no surprise there)

A nissan sunny I had back in 94 changed hands last month.

My first 16v mk2 gti which I wrote off in 95 changed hands in august last year!!!

The last car I sold 8v gti is still with the guy who bought it off me.

Originally yes, but it's probably been sold as a private reg so now registered on a UK vehicle.  ???

The only thingwrong with the site is the date of maufacture, they aren't right! Mine was made april 88, it says it was made 30 dec 88. They stopped registering E reg in august 88!
