Was the orange DBS the one from the persuaders that was on the One show on friday?

[ls3steve]

Not sure, was in perfect condition though

[PoleDriver]

All those cars are so clean and shiny, I wonder if they are ever driven?

There is some hideous stuff there!

(And some very lovely stuff!)

And if I was a copper, I would take great pleasure in booking the illegal no plates on that Veyron...

(1) Why?

and

(2) What Veyron? I can't see one with illegal plates.

Is that a new Peugeot tourer in a couple of them? Looks good.

Pics 24 --> 28

Just because it is absolutely taking the michael!!! I have nothing against private plates, even some slightly modded ones.

(Unless of course these are only over here for a short time, and do not need changed.....?)

That Veyron plate surely isn't illegal?

And why would you take great pleasure in booking him?

Aren't they just plates from an Arab country? Either way I'm sure they'll carry on doing do whatever they want...

They're just the plates of the country it was registered in. I do think there might be a year maximum period for this, though.

Exactly.

So what happens when they get snapped then? And as you say, nothing is really going to change..

(Fek, why do I feel like troll....not like me really)

Well that's why they'll carry on doing whatever they want I suppose. If I get snapped in Germany I sure as hell won't be paying the fine.

The same thing that happens when a car over here from Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland etc etc get snapped probably.....................

Does anyone else think that the old Aston has more class than the rest of them put together?

+1, some lovely spots. I actually quite like that white SLR too, which worries me somewhat
