Nice MG, shame about the illegal plates on both vehicles.

I'm irritated more by the wrong spelling on the plate than the spacing!

Must admit, that usually I roll my eyes at poorly spaced plates and make an immediate judgement call about the owner. But that's because I usually see them on some tatty Range Rover Sport or pickup truck being driven by a Neanderthal. These were at least somewhat relevant.

TBH I usually hate illegally spaced plates but the one on the MG looks alright...

The MG one will make perfect sense in just under 5k miles. At recent annual mileages that might take some time!

I thought only the GT had the V8?

There's an old Audi which goes to shows with the plate "AUDI 16V" (AUD 116V) - I quite like that one too

I thought that too, must be a conversion.

Saw a lovely orange Alfa Montreal today, looked very cool.

Couldn’t get a pic of it as I was driving past in the Tesco car park, but there was another chap standing there taking some pictures of it

So this got collected today. Along with a CLK GTR, DBR9, AM DB4 and an AM LMP.

Unbelievable

I have a feeling these all went to the Chantilly concourse as I've seen all three of those wec card together. Reckon that could be it?

Its OK lads all those numberplates were legal after all...

Why does it bother you so much

Because its stupid, it looks stupid, and people who do it are stupid.

MrKnifey · 5 Jul 2019 at 15:59

But to bother you to the point of posting about it on here and facebook? It doesn't directly affect you or anyone else.. Find something else to do with your time Victor Meldrew

If I have an opportunity to call someone out for illegal plates, I always take it.

I only posted it here cos I found it funny that it happened just after someone posted this thread.

No I definitely didn't

Anyway its the tread that can't stick out!

I did however get fined 100 quid for having an illegal plate on the front of the black one, but I bought it like it and I hadn't fitted the new one yet

Hyburnate · 5 Jul 2019 at 16:26

I mean that guy didn't exactly remain professional regarding he was defending his business lol

Akagi · 5 Jul 2019 at 16:38

I should also point out that the purpose of the post was to "show off" the new numberplates. Lol
