thank you for the clarification.



the 'others' who butt'ed in, are just plain rude. I never asked them, but as always, PH'ers looking for an argument.

I've heard of inches but never of engines described in inches and didn't know anybody still used it as a measurement. 6276cc, that's like huge. Respect.

You've never heard of a 427 Cobra?

You should use the same plate manufacture as Craig, as he has 'illegal' plate on his Bemmer. well unless he can tell us otherwise ???

be marked to show who supplied the number plate
be marked with a British Standard number - this is ‘BS AU 145e’ for plates fitted after 1 September 2021

Strong contender for PH Most Adenoidal Post 2021 and surely a runner up for an English as a second language award too. Nice work!

unlike this plate BMW plate



a URL under the plate doesn't cut it !!!

You're coming across very much as though you have small-man syndrome. It's a very good plate, correctly spaced, why do you care so much that you can't see the official stuff on it from a low-res photo?

This.

Have you ever had sex, you know, with a real person?

Just goes to show that some people have to have the very latest plate possible and simply cannot fathom why someone would put an older plate on a younger car, even if it's a private plate with meaning for the owner far beyond the age identifier.

yes because TT04 ("random letters") really means something on a 2015 TT.

ci = cubic inch - Yank capacity (other countries may use it)

cc = cubic centimetre AKA metric - not equivilent

so 383 ci = 6.276 Litres or 6,276 cc

I've heard of inches but never of engines described in inches and didn't know anybody still used it as a measurement. 6276cc, that's like huge. Respect.

Everything in US of A is imperial.

I think everywhere they play cricket use imperial to a degree; the wicket is 1 chain (22 yards), doesn’t sound the same as 20.12M

[LargeRed]

anything you want to measure .....

1 yard = 3 feet [1 yard is approximately 0.914 metres]
1 chain = 22 yards
1 chain = 100 links
1 rod = 1 perch = 1 pole = 25 links or 5.5 yards = 16 1/2 feet = 1/4 chain
1 furlong = 10 chains = 40 rods = 220 yards
1 mile = 8 furlongs = 80 chains
3 miles = 1 league
3 barleycorns = 1 inch

Aww 5/10 you only went for land based measurements - I’d have given 10/10 for the nautical ones as well

If so, I'm in plenty of company, on this thread.

No, never, but I looked if up and it's like at least 50 years old, we didn't even really go that far back in school history lessons. Even my graddad's old Escot is newer than that! This forum should be renamed 'Granddad's forum or even Great Granddads haha.

Same with F40, had to look that up as well, yet another funny old car that none of my FB group have heard of either.

I bet there's an old Royal Navy thread somewhere on here where they discuss how fantastic it is that the new multi sail warships can now fire cannon balls nearly a kilometre and having been taught modern stuff in school I can spell the word centimetre, not like those who spell it centimeter.

[pingu393]

It's a shame that you can't spell Escort

Is this an aspersion in relation to British Standards?

[A Winner Is You]

Well it only took them 4 1/2 months, but the Dvla have been so nice as to swap my plate over. Although I've no idea what kind of bracket was mounted here in the past which required 4 whopping great bolts

[BrewsterBear]

Here's mine. I quite like the fact it just looks like any old suffix plate.
