I know because the car cover had a tax disc peep hole and I looked it up on TfL.

Correct: "MASERATI GRANTURISMO S" came back from TfL.

This quiz setting is harder than I thought.

Really? I mean, really?
You didn't appreciate my attempt to divert attention away from my lack of Maserati knowledge, I take it?

My apologies.

Although I try to operate on a slightly higher plane, I work in an office where flatulence is often presented as humour.

Why, I'll have you know I scraped a pass at English 'O' level at the third attempt.

Soho square.
It isn't, but I can see what you mean.

Hmm. I see the competition will have to become a lot harder. But in the meantime...

Correct.



But, y'know, Germans with vanity plates? Doesn't that signify the end of civilisation as we know it? I mean they're normally so serious about things.

For me?

Wow. I'm very impressed.
They were rare but I used to see one quite often when they were new in the seventies. Saw a six wheel Panther on the M4 once, too! Can you picture it? Like Lady Penelope's Roller. There were only two of those; wittily named the Panther 6.

Can someone tell me what this is!

Struggling with this. I wanted to say Elva but I can't find a similar one. It could be home spun.
