Nice plate, although odd choice of car to put it on:

If it takes about 6 weeks to figure out what a numberplate is trying to say, then in my books, that's not a good numberplate.
My old car had YOG at the end, after 6 weeks of thinking i came to the conclusion that 1 in 10,000 people will assume i like yogurts.

Private Plates in England are nuts! Grew up admiring when you saw a 'cool' number plate.
Now live in the States and they cost $30 for a vanity upgrade lol
My number plate is "anytime" after my business. Funny how it is not seen as something worthy of an investment over here.

Voluntary tax, great system. Little factoid, Steve Jobs drove round with no plates
This was due to California not requiring registration in the state for 6 months from new wasn't it?

Saw both your cars there and took a picture. Will upload when I get the chance
. Immediately recognised them when I saw a Focus next to the Megane.Also that Vanquish was gorgeous and the owner seemed quite nice.

It was Garlick who had the Vanquish, looks like it's on load from Aston Martin judging by the plate!
Donington Saturday....not the best pictures, but figured I'd share.
Very well used/dirty Porsche Carrera GT...very much a track day regular I believe, seen Gibbo take pics of this at Donington before? Sounds immense! Had some battle damage to the front right hand side that I noticed later out whilst it was on track. Can't be many people using this sort of car this hard so often
Ferrari 458 race car - slightly intimidating to have this in your mirrors on a track day! Was in a Mk3 MX5 on track, riding as a passenger, and the noise when this blasted past us on the straight...awesome.
This MX5 turbo race car, 335bhp of forged 2.0 engine, and 965kg, had a few passenger rides in this, the morning session was damp and the car spent much of the lap sideways or spinning the wheels, had some very hairy moments especially coming out of the old hairpin, armfuls of opposite lock at 100mph or so. In the afternoon after things dried it spent time passing most things on track, the driver was pretty handy too (years of racing in various MX5 championships).
