Okay....so not a TVR topic, but she's a regular on P/H and this forum and she has finally found her FTO.


She even has her own Big M plate......

Picked it up today and happy as a bug on a rug.

Beautiful deep blue, almost purple in some lights it's a lovely car.

Griff is still tucked up in the garage.........

Nice one Debs.....

Nice car and cool plate Debs!


Surely spacing a plate like that is illegal officer

Actually, what is the rule? Can you space how you want as long as it's still legible?

Well it is a bit of a 'bend' as far as rules are concerned. The rear, being an import squareish one IS fully legal. Hopefully the if a policeman does stop me he will be a nice one

The rule is that the whole number must be centrally positioned (even spacing at either end of the plate). The first sequence of characters should all be evenly spaced as should the second sequence. The gap between the first and the second sequence is supposed to be roughly the same as a "1" would take up.

There are no exceptions to this that I am aware of. The positioning of the "bolts" is a bit tricky but as a rule of thumb they cannot be used to alter the appearance of the number so if the bolt goes through a yellow or white area it too must be white, if it goes through a character it is supposed to be black.

Plate itself is a bit long and the spacing is illegal too but who gives a s**t, i wouldn't if i saw you down my way! Its the itallic style writing that really lights my fire (sad i know) usually on some sad nova/corsa.

Debs, so ok, it's not a TVR, but I suppose it is dark blue, and on that you have my blessing.

May your God travel with you in moments of crisis, and here endeth todays lesson.
