how are they doing it? for instance, an 09 plate could be LR09, a 59 (half way through 2009) would be LR59, how about 2010? LR010 and LR510? because LR10 wouldn't work, how would you get another for half way into the year?

thanks.

Yes, yesterday in a Mini showroom. Was going past it (the showroom, that is) on my way home.

I haven't seen one today, but last Wednesday i saw a white BMW X6 with a '10' plate sitting outside a main dealer. Seemed too early to me...

Lots of people seem to struggle with adding 1 to 09 and 59... I don't get why people think "xx10 xxx" and "xx60 xxx" is a problem?

I saw LR10 REG - a new RR Sport parked on a big rock outside a Land Rover garage on Saturday night.

I don't think it was a real plate though - a bit like those MY10 CAR ones you seen in ads in the local paper.

You can't add 50 to 11.

What kind of number would 61 be!

Oh.... hang on a minute.
