jonahjones26 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I think they are classic car plates? Not 100% sure! I am pretty sure they will be illegal on a modern car????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Car has to be first registered before Jan 1973, if memory serves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multics Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I've seen a few of those on brand new cars around London. Last one I saw was on a Bentley GT continental. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I'd love one on the front of my car, but I fear they are only 'legal' on certain age cars. I have seen them on newer cars though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 i've seen them on quite many brand new expensive cars! i really cant understand how they can have them! Until they're told to take them off, I suppose. I wonder if us lesser beings would get away with it at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 i've seen them on quite many brand new expensive cars! i really cant understand how they can have them! I've seen cars going over 70mph - I really can't understand how they can do that! (I think it's called 'winging it'!) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastisnice Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Yeah i've seen a thief grabbing a bag off an old lady..How he can get away? Having a black number plate behind your car, how far you ll go until a copper will stop you?? I see about 10 police cars on an average day when im driving. What are the chances of seeing your black number plate? against doing 70+ on a motorway! You can't compare, there must be a way!
