Perhaps I should change my name by deed poll to Yankee - Three - Seven - Eight - Lima - Echo - Romeo
It's cheaper. | I think personal number plates look poncy (sorry if anybody has one). You're number plate shows where your car is from and when it was born...as the owner you should be proud of that! |

| Re: Square Number Plates Dontcha just love the Clios, Corsas, and Saxos?
Pug 106s, occasional Fiat Puntos'
Fiestas, Polos, Seat's Arosas,
The rarely seen Rovers,
and Toyota Corollas...............
And they all look so like Lexus GS430's with those silly light clusters. I'd never know the difference even though I'm an intelligent bloke.
Why do the drivers of such machinery even bother having a bash at me in my lowly diesel 406. Ok, it's a big car, and heavy at 1500kg. But 190+bhp is still gonna beat 90bhp in even the lightest super****offmini.
As if light clusters and square plates will change anything. |

Then suddenly as you put your foot down they are left wondering if you have a 3.0 V6 under the engine bay!
They go home to sulk and look up the stats for a 406 Diesel and still wonder why they couldn't beat you.
Then they decide there is something wrong with their car and they go to Halfords and buy another racing stripe and a chrome exhaust tip.

| Re: Square Number Plates oh the best thing I've seen is a carbon fibre bonnet on a 1.2 corsa ,
anythin to make a dream of drivin a Honda Integra Type R that little bit closer.
Oh and revving ure car constantly does not make it sound any more sportier!!!

| Re: Square Number Plates difference is wayne your car will actually fly, where as a 1.2 corsa will struggle to keep up with a snail due to the stupid sub box in the back,
which reminds me i need to get rid of mine
