I never knew there was a Ford Katie!

That's clever(ish). I like it.

Made me smile...and think of this thread!

Me too. Better than a number plate saying something like KA 11E.

I've got an VW Bora and want to know if I stick a 't' on the end, would that be ok ?

Was behind an M3 320d today, at first I thought it was just another 320d with an M badge, nope actually had an M3 badge above the 320d badge.

The ford Katie and the vauxhall adam might be the perfect couple lol

An extremely convincing M5 replica, which as far as I can tell means he has stuck an M5 badge in the wrong place.

Hideous!!

I quite fancy one of these....



...badged as a 318i

[Captainawesome]

I recently bought a 318i badge to stick on the back of my M3. My told me I was an idiot and that it was a stupid idea. Yay or nay????

(E46 btw so it does look a bit different to a 318i)

Am I correct in thinking thats a Northern Irish plate, and in fact not a private one?

That thing is a bloody mess.

That would award you many, many PH points.

Yup I think that's pretty good

It is actually not misbadged either unless she isn't called katie

They're clearly sponsored by Monster Energy so perhaps they have fitted a Turbo V8....

Just saw this on ebay and thought of this thread. The fake XJR badges and hideous wheels are bad enough, but he's even gone to the trouble of having "supercharged V8 power" written on the numberplate when it isn't supercharged....

Fortunately the owner is removing the number plates when it's sold. Presumably along with the non existent supercharger

Gentlemen, I bring you...



The ultra-rare Fiesta TDCI Type R. The chap in the car seemed happy about the photo, he appears to have been captured mid-fist pump through the rear window. Hats off to you sir.

I've caught an M5 err.. 520d as well

So the wrong badge has had the opposite effect to what was intended. Badged as an M5 and you think it's a 520d when in actual fact, judging by the exhaust, it's a 525 or a 530.

Or swap the 'a' for and 'e' ?

On my small mobile screen that looks like a normal 3 series with some awful wheels on it :s

The famous Ford Focus GSI Sport 1.6 Injection.
