Title: Brilliant number plate
Post by: jonnygo on 13 September 2010, 10:20
I am not one for private number plates to be honest but when I saw "VW I" and "VW II" on a pair of new Golf Rs I thought they looked the business.

They are owned by the VW dealership in Essex where I first began looking into buying my GTI.

Bought a used GTI in the end from another garage.

I started looking a while before my car arrived and was considering something with GT10 --- and all were a reasonable £349 inc all taxes etc and as soon as the 10 plate came out ALL registrations with prefix GT were sold! i didn't bother lookin past the dvla cos they would no doubt be more expensive from whoever bought them.

There are still plenty of plates with GT10 on the DVLA website, I bought mine before March, but there is still plenty of choice.

I got GT10ONE and was thinking of getting GT10TWO, if I could afford 2 GTIs, which of course I cant, but it is still for sale.

I saw 1 AM on a red Porsche in London.

Also saw MOT 10N travelling southbound on the A24 south of Horsham sometime in the 1990s.

Seeing PH07O ME on the m25 through all the variable speed camera stuff made me most amused.

That looks typical for plate fitments mine are the same. If you want Euro plates the screws are to near the edge and don't look right unless you have a blue cover.  :wink:
