Guy who used to do all my MOT's on my Saab's and Sunbeam-Lotus back in the 1990's and early 2000's, used to work at Jeff Uren's, building the Savages in the late 60's early 70's.
He still used to work on Savage's for a number of owners up until he retired about 5-6 years ago.
One of the apostrophes is in the correct place! confused

Any Mondeo sporting a gaffer tape bumper
Corsa's, Clio's etc... with Lexus Lights, "Bang Tidy" decals etc.. they just scream dhead, pull me over.
MK3 Astra's, Cavalier's etc... basically sheds.
MK1 Discovery's, spot checking those for Red Diesel.
From the If You Were A Copper thread.

Shed's for consistency, I suggest.

It's my bet that the values of those older XJ ranges will prove that the X300/X308 was a case of it wasn't broke so why try to fix it at least in terms of it's styling.

Don't know, what falls out my mouth at the time is unique to that situation.

Between the time of offence and the fine landing, it had passed it's MOT which is an indication of how trivial the infringement is (which I will not discuss on here).

That he could read it easily enough to send you a S172 demonstrates that your plate serves it's purpose.

"reg." would be the more conventional way of writing the abbreviation.

Both windows open. Please feel free to suggest where to put the apostrophe.
