Everyone will think it's out of date then hehe

Can we presumably now make our own childish lookalike ones to amuse / confuse people?

Having one with Renault Clio on for Le Mans may help further confuse some grenouilles hehe

Given that most people have no idea what make/model our cars are and that many have debadged altogether, what are the chances of parking enforcement bods being unable to write a ticket because they can't identify our cars?

I once had a pcn that stated only 'Vauxhall' because that was read from the tax disc. The only other marking was HSV wheel caps and steering wheel badge.

Go one better, print off a Lancia Thema Owners Club roundel, slip it in the tax disc holder, let them write it out for a Lancia Thema instead.

Couldn't have been me officer, my car is a Vauxhall!

Discs removed from all 4 cars last night - now enjoying the use of a full windscreen. Bet bikers will be pleased they always faded and got filthy attached to the rear of bikes.
