Yup, there's been a new Cupra delivered to Carmarthen that has, I believe, replaced their ST170. Next time I see it, I'll get the reg...

Good list there. thumbup

The Black EVO IX reg CN06 CBX isn't an FQ400, it's really an FQ300.

There were only ever EVO VIII's made up to FQ400 spec.

The police fill it up on 99oct quite often at the missus' garage (Tesco PT).

According to the sales guy at LHT, they were asked to put FQ400 badges on it. (maybe to taunt people to race them???)

I've seen it quite often used on the A4067 south of jctn 45 along with the ANPR van and some marked units.

As far as i know its only cardiff, swansea and bangor that are included in the reg plates in wales so where ever your closer too i suppose you get, why they get just N i'm not sure coz there's a few for cardiff A through to O after the C which is for Cymru but can't find where the N is for? so half way there! maybe the N is bridgend where the head quaters are,???

to be honest with you, I cant remember where the last time a number plate that started with a C, didnt have the N has its second letter. Thats in gwent or SWP, on a marked or unmarked car.

Strange but true!!! The Range Rover was racing through Cardiff with all of it's lights flashing and sirens on
and in the rear window was a LCD Flashing "Police" and the driver and occupants were just wearing suits!!!
They may have just been visiting South Wales!!!
