With the Focus, it's all about practicaility and anonymity that means I can park anywhere without worrying about it. Excellent load lugger as well.

...I much prefer the coupe...

Meh, for me the Coupe is neither here nor there, if you 're bothered about driving dynamics, a GT3 or a Cayman is a better option, if you just want a nice cruiser /GT then the cab has no downside compared to coupe and it feels like a roadster whenever the sun is out.

Just saying l prefer the coupe. Personally I find all 911 cabriolet variants unpleasing to look at. I didn't mention it before because I didn't want to hurt your feelings. German style plates are, in my opinion a bit naff and can cause issues at the 'Ring and Swiss boarder contro (a travelling companion has first hand experience). Again, I didn't mention the naff-ness before for fear of upsetting you. If you are happy with your 996 cabriolet with German style pates, then I am glad for you. I just prefer the coupe. Still.

Oh right, it's just that your post came across as a bit of a veiled dig, you know "...I prefer the coupe..." as the entire post in a thread about number plates could be read as a comment purely designed to wind the other person up.

Just like a post that mentions "not mentioning" naff-ness, because you didn't want to upset me, but mentioned it anyway.

But seeing that we're just posting our opinions about cars in general, without wishing to upset anyone, I wouldn't be seen dead driving a Ford Focus Estate.

Touched a nerve, methinks. ;-)

Think mine looks pretty cool...



...compared to:

outdated

german plates haven't had the 'AU' emissions sticker on the front for a couple of years now

and no registration begins with X (tell people it's Xanten, near dutch border at Nijmegen )

I thought that registrations in Germany beginning with X was a military plate belonging to NATO and Y the German armed forces.

you're right, X + four numbers for NATO, not very common though, US and UK forces don't use them, I don't think NL stationed in Germany do either

german Y ones have a little DE flag and again just numbers

A little DE flag like this one on an F plate

Oh maybe not like this one as this is a UK plate.
