I see.

Still a bit confused as to why someone would buy a new number plate to appease others.

I imagine being called a paedophile every time you turn up at work starts to grate a bit

That's why we have middle fingers.

I thought it was something else that they cut off paedophiles? Have I missed something?

Evidently you know far more about PDOs than I do.

It's a very sore subject, I'd rather not talk about it.

 

[BeeP]

This went wrong fast lol.

The plate wasn't really to appease anyone, working with the blokes I do you develop a thick skin and give as good as you take so it wasn't really a problem for me. I have to admit I never even noticed it until it was pointed out to me, most folk dont, so I guess my reaction was funnier than the plate itself.

It was a good excuse to get a private plate though.

I need to lay off the loud pedal, fuel is vanishing at a scary rate.

I used to have a car with the plate SH## PDO, so it was like shhh paedo, so even worse... Only noticed it when I phoned the insurance after agreeing to buy it. I just thought of it as a joke as 90% of people wouldn't even spot it. I have a weekend job where I regularly help/teach kids, so that was even worse/funnier, as it was regularly parked outside a kids play area... I made certain to get a photo of it there before I sold it

Sure, your workmates will take the p as you've either mentioned it to them, or have risen to their bait, so just ignore them and live life... There's bigger worries out there. Certainly doesn't warrant spending £ for a new plate.

After months of searching finally found the 530d for me.

Coming from a focus ST it wafts down the M4 like a magic carpet.

 

[[TW]Fox]

Mediterranean Blue which makes it one of the last F10, very nice.

 

[Rilot]

Very nice indeed. Spec?

I really liked the colour, It has pro nav and the Harmon Kardon sound system. Non electric wing mirrors annoy me so i wanted them and a reversing camera.

crap spec

 

[Django x2]

wait what? How is that not a standard thing. Even my peasant E60 had folding mirrors (after I retrofitted them)

Infuriating isn't it. My last one had them and I miss them

 

[IAmATeaf]

Why? My 3 has them, hardly ever fold them and the way they fold they look like rain catchers and don’t actually make the car any narrower?

 

[Steedie]

Like mine only I don't have folding mirrors

I don’t ever want you comparing your car to mine again

 

[shadow_boxer]

Really lovely colour! Makes a nice change from the masses of drab grey, black and white ones!
