So you presumably never ever clean your car then? After all, that doesn't 'enhance' it? It only makes it shinier - how vain.
You haven't seen the state of 'em... It's not the first time that accusation's been levelled at me. Although, seriously, yes there is an actual functional benefit in cleaning a car. Spending every waking moment pontificating on the optimum number of buckets and the merits of one stupidly expensive wax over another? Less so...Ari said:
And your name suggests you like Citreon 2CVs? Bit pointless liking them isn't it? A Toyota Corolla is a better prospect in every possible dynamic way. Faster, handles better, stops better, quieter, smoother, more room. So surely, according to your own rules of all that matters, every 2CV should be chucked in a skip and those that own them should get a dynamically superior Corolla?
I'll just put this here, shall I?http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?f=23&...
But, again, that's a subjective debate on the dynamic merits of one car versus another. They drive differently, whichever you prefer. A Corolla with a vanity plate drives no differently to a Corolla with a normal plate.
As for the plates, I tend to agree with you. They add nothing, especially when anally modified. However, all three of my cars have personalised plates, basically the same just with different, single, numbers after the first letter. I bought the plates because they make the registrations easier to remember. Oh, and because I can afford to, of course.
Slightly off topic but I know the op and he is a very nice chap, also a very skilfull driver and I doubt others would if you were in his position, he is also a very hardworking true pertolhead,
I do agree however that the original post is somewhat pointless as it would have been better to go to the original spacing for 6 months rather continuing to upset the rozzers or buy a better plate.

Surely you don't need a duff plate to arouse your attention? If you pulled every duff plate in my neck of the woods, you wouldn't have time to scoff your doughnuts.
For someone in their sixties, you come out with some very immature comments.Doshy said:

my plate which I gained for free off a car I had when in my youth A7 OUD I used to replace the 7
With an upside down L and no spacing,also in a square letter design, got me in trouble with a couple of warnings
I then changed it back to a normal font etc, years later fitted on my griff I took the space out between the 7 and O
It's been that way now for over ten years Not that I have used it recently

I've just been reading this morning in one of the papers that DVLA have just given a list of plates they've held back, BA11 BAG being one of them as they feel it may cause offence.
I'm not sure it would cause offence, I think most people would just laugh when they saw that plate
A chap I used to work for had B16 NOB on his Ferrari.I'm not sure it would cause offence, I think most people would just laugh when they saw that plate
It was quite appropriate for him really. (In a non physical way I would guess..)

Whilst you do and have to, accept negative criticism. There are a few jokers, who when sat in front of their laptop, seem to all of a sudden, grow a set of spuds. But you can tell, they are infact spineless knobbers. They take these situations as an opportunity to get all lairy and brave... But hey, this isn't real life, tis the tinternet...
That's t'internet for you. That plate was s

1. Who is WHC?
2. If you have the money to afford a Carrera S, why would you show that you can't afford the plate you really want?
