You should go for a visit. It's very nice indeed. The countryside is ideal for mountain biking in the summer and ski-ing in the winter. The beer is excellent, the people are extremely friendly, especially the gorgeous women. And I rather like the cars too.

In actual fact it's scarily like Bavaria

Off topic a little but funny story with the numberlpate.

Bought if for £250 years ago as my names RHODRI.

Anyhow I had a couple of emails early on by a company on behalf of a Rhodri wanting to purchase the plate. Anyhow five years later and a couple of other famous Welsh Rhodris and ... http://www.regtransfers.co.uk/main/searchs/searchresults.asp

90 quid on the spot and confiscated plate. Plus vehicle inpounded until you provide new registration.

I thought the £30 fine was for not displaying a mark. Displaying one incorrectly has a maximum fine of £1000.

Am I the only one who reads it as R11 ODeR

Having a plate like that is classed as not having a plate a all, so what ever that fine is you can get as a maximum. - If police did care.

No, it isn't. It's displaying a plate incorrectly.

What a completely pointless mod.

I love it

Diesel · 5 Oct 2006 at 23:38

Look good to me. Certainly better than other numberplates I have seen.

Saytan · 5 Oct 2006 at 23:44

commit enough plate offence and you can be forced onto a Q Plate. see what that does for your resale....

AmmoWaster · 6 Oct 2006 at 02:19

One major give away it's not a Czech car, it's right hand drive.

They look ok though, completely pointless but better than most i've seen.

I thought Q plates were for imports, kit cars and that sort of thing.

Now I know why some insurance companies won't insure Q plates.

Looking good btw.

I live in guernsey and we are the only place in the world to have Number Only number plates

On our cars we have 8070 and 7060

Dr Who · 6 Oct 2006 at 07:10

Quick, blur that number or you might get cloned!!!

Lopéz · 6 Oct 2006 at 07:37

That DVLA email is very interesting.

If I read it rightly, it means I could legally fit brand new "French" style plates (like the VW boys do with German plates) and as long as they are the equivalent of British Standard rating and of comparable standard (ie they are OEM type used in France today) they would be legal?

No, as all plates made up now must use the standard UK font - reffered to in law as 'Mandatory Typeface'. I'd paste you the right bit but the muppets have started using PDF's on their site..
