I was in Andorra this week and met up with the 2004 European Cannonball Run in El Tarter. I spent some time in the underground car park looking at the various participants car. I remember admiring one particular fine example (let's call it a TVR, which it wasn't) with a UK registration. After looking around for a while I noticed another car identical to the earlier one, except that it had a French registration. I then realised that it was the same car with a UK plate on the front but French on the back. The reg was ageless like ABC 123. The front plate was bog standard with the GB on the left of the plate and the rear plate was the same reg but in a slightly thinner font with an F on the left. To add to the deception the rear plate had French dealership details around the edge of the plate.
Wonder what a BiB would have to say to that.

All I know it that you're WAY better off not having a plate at all than falsies...

You can always tell when the local hoons are up to something when they gather at the airport at 2 am and ALL their plates have mysteriously fallen off

Hmmm...ticket or prison, ticket or prison, daddy or chips??

My friend who witnessed this deception, suggested that there could be one innocent explanation. The driver could have lost his rear plate in France and had to have one made up locally. Yes, I know, credibility problem.
