Can't remember, but it was a lot more than I did for YOU 105E

Which is also on retention I suspect. I stopped at about 20k for that, there were two others who looked hungry, but it stopped fairly soon after. Naturally had I kept going, of one of them really, really wanted it, it could have got a lot higher, hence I always stick to a limit, even if it means frustration.

I'm not, craig has this obsession with opening his DVLA search and telling the world what a plate may have sold for at one point in time.

Which may be a record of fact, but only at a point in time. Thereafter, plates change hands. Dealers make money by, funnily enough, charging more than they paid. People sell them for more than they paid. Sometimes less. It doesn't matter.

You don't need to be so blinkered. Or rude.

At first glance, not much of a problem.



But... What's that?



What, on earth, would make you do this??!?

Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!! That genuinely made me crack up! Surely that’s on there for the jokes rather than to enhance the vehicle.

ps. The delivery of this post and gradual zooming-in was brilliant Donkey44 rofl

I thought that was a Toyota at first.

Or his surname is Finnes?

It was his wife/girlfriend driving, because he was busy at home 'dominating the stairs'.

This group is seemingly where all the C124PPY plate owners congregate...

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1617135635067116

One example from there, of many:

There's nothing blinkered or rude in stating a fact, and that fact is you have clearly stated you were outbid on the number TOO 510W at a DVLA auction and we have now been reliably informed that number has never been in a DVLA auction so you are not telling the truth.
