'12' Plates.

[JayTee94]

It is that time of year (again)..

I saw my first '12' plate today.

Ford Transit

So, I just started this thread for posters to post what cars they see on '12' plates before they get too common.

I've also seen a Ford Transit and a BMW 318d.

When new plates come out, I always see them first on a Japanese pickup of some description - usually a Warrior.

Time really is going fast.
I've had the Lancer 6 months, fells like I was driving broken down in the 159 last week!
Not seen a '12' plate yet.

Officially '12' plates should only be allowed on the road on the 1st March 2012 shouldn't they?

BTW ,i was under the impression any car seen out with a new plate before the

first official day could have plate removed and a "61" stuck on it.

The one I saw had dealer plates below.

Also at TESCO filling up!

I assume it was doing a PDI check ready for tomorrow.

Saw a couple at a local Audi dealer (Five Oaks) last week.

Dealerships don't count for spots. Dem's is de rules.

I saw SH12 BOX today (not really...well it was but not on the plate...)

[FunBusMk2]

Saw a couple on a transporter heading north up the M1 tonight - a 5-series touring and a Porsche Cayenne.

I have been seeing them for several weeks though. '12 plate (SN12...) single deck buses heading for London (London General livery) - they're always just south of Wakefield on the M1.

I saw two '12 plate Mondeo's being driven towards South Normanton this evening. Had completely forgotten about the new reg until I saw them...

I saw a 12 plate Cayenne bombing down the dual carriageway past Theale yesterday.

It was also wearing trade plates

Oops! Sorry Tom.

[Needa308GT4]

I saw two 12 plates on the A1 last week.

Unfortunately it was nothing glamourous.

Two brand new, filthy dirty, buses on 12 plates but with trades in the rear windows.

What a disappointing first 12 spot.

I saw a transporter full of 12 plate vw caddy vans, all white, i guess they would be going to a fleet company,

my local vw dealer have a UP! with a 12 plate on it, but nothing else yet

[Buster73]

Saw one on my drive this afternoon.

Busy day tomorrow for both me and the dealer , kill two birds with one stone by having it delivered this afternoon.

Mate asked if I was going for a drive at midnight .......er no ,hopefully I'll be asleep.

Not sure how that would work? Once it has a 12-plate assigned that's it, can't change it to a 61...
