Are the old black metal plates on classic cars 'ghay' too?

Title: Re: Europl8?
Post by: Diamond Hell on 28 November 2008, 12:58
No, they're the correct plates for that age of car (pre-1967).

Running that sort of plates on a later car, now that IS clearly ghey.

Post by: eightyeightmph on 28 November 2008, 15:19
I'm running german plates on the valver & I look them, always a topic of convo but UK pressed plates are going on this weekend & they will retire to 'show' plate status, or whenever I feel like a change. :afro:

I'm not after german plates for my mate either, just the UK pressed plates! ;)

Sharpie, I'm pretty sure I won't be contended when I say you have no place commenting on peoples style choices when you openly admit you drive an old hairdressers car MGF!  :grin:

Wait wait wait, you had a pink car, now drive an MGF describing it as 'stylish' and have an appreciation for Lewellin Bowen??

Anyone who spells it as 'ghey' must have a complex about themselves. As long as they don't see 'gay', they must be alright! :lipsrsealed:

And as for styling, each to there own. Who are we to critisize?? If people want to toff around in stupid looking cars that pretend to be something that they're not, its up to them.

i.e. withholding my opinion? i have the right to express it - and i invariably will when there's some daft pointless law-breaking styling on the go.
