Jeezus that's disgusting, all out there in public like that, and so brazen about it.

The plate's amusing though.

I saw a Polo with a "GAY" numberplate the other week.

I've seen the Numberplate A11 FUD on a Kia, used to be on a mini, always found it amusing.

Also know a girl with "PMS" as the final three letters of her numberplate, she cursed the day I noticed it and pointed it out to all her friends! biggrin

Probably just his name; don't see much wrong with it (apart from being able to spend my cash on much better things).

They produced those Jacked up '25 things in real life then? I've only ever seen them in The Getaway: Black Monday...

I don't know why people always get so worked up about the Streetwise. Load of manufacturers are producing these jacked up FWD cars now - Qashqai for example. Reckon Rover were 10 years ahead of the curve with the "Urban Assault Vehicle" concept! Plus the development costs must have been pretty much zero and allowed them to shift a few more cars at a difficult time...

They've relaunched them under the MG badge now as the 'MG3 SW' smile

A gay guy I used to work with had a plate similar to 300 MEN, probably just boasting but he was a cocky get.

BTW, that SW has a rather small exhaust pipe.

Assymetrical from the look of it...

yes And let's ignore the fact that the 200/25 was actually pretty good as a small car, although it was getting long in the tooth by the time the Streetwise came out.

You think they would at least have tinted windows if driving that so no-one could see you were in a Rover.

Funnily enough I was sat behind one in traffic today. It was spotless, and actually looked pretty good.

Who'd have thought Rover would be so far ahead of the curve biggrin
