Was It You?(2)

I got overtaken this morning by a dark blue 2.5d Exclusive reg something like rij **** near to Oswestry. Anyone on here?

We seem to have a few thread about this now. As this is the latest I shall add on here.

Last night on the BBC London evening news - the bit about the poor chap who lives in a nice flat development where they are being plagued by antisocial hoodies. As an asside, the poor chap got fed up with the noise one day and went and took some photos of them with his mobile as proof/identification. He then had a knock on the door from PC Plod threatening to charge him for taking photos of children without permission or something similar.

Anyway, apart from the obvious unfairness of our current rights over responsibility society and police who don't know the law, there were shots of him talking about it in the car park area and there was a very nice looking silver hatch there. Was a Mk1 judging by the grille, and looked absolutely immaculate - and freshly polished from the look of it too. Parked right at the front where it was in shot almost as much as the chap. Almost as though the owner knew the filming was going to happen and put it there on purpose

Anyone here?

Here is the video: BBC News

Typical

Nice Mk1 though

One of the Few FIRST cars into UK... wearing G404RGJ. Its a rare Base 2.oi non turbo, and its still leagal to September!. Its apparently grey...

It is down as a Greg 1990, not a G reg 1989 model...

Looks quite tidy, but thats only a quick glance though..(Could be his car!)

Paul, where do you find out that level of detail from the Reg no? Do you have contacts at Swansea or something?

ah ha... you see ........

that would be telling.. ive no contacts in DVLA..

Its a simple thing that ANYONE can do... ANYONE

Go here http://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/
then goto Vehicle Enquiry, and then NEXT, then put in the Reg and select car make and hey presto.. Engine size, how much tax is left, how much it is, the colour...

Tis a 2.0 SI Turbo Auto from the info I had :S

Doesn't surprise me though, they still haven't managed to get the details of my car right since its engine conversion...

Of course... I hadn't thought of that. I'll have to remember that for the future.

My car shows up on that still on it's English numberplate (G323 WNK). Its exported though obviously, so is unlicensed etc.

Be interesting to see what would happen with ANPR and the like if I was to drive around in it over there again.... plod might be interested, or would they ignore anything shown as 'exported'?

Silver S2, on M3 south (westbound) just past M25, Friday around 11pm.........

Ciaran,

It shouldn't be a Turbo the engine didn't exsist untill a few years later, so it has to be a N/a 2.oi....

Yesterday (Thursday) saw a green (of course) S1 estate stuck in traffic on the A42 near Ashby de la Zouch looked absolutely immaculate Reg J726GGX, anyone on here?

If it was you, I was the odd character who waved at you in the black BX

Due to my memory loss getting worse all the time I've just remembered that about three months ago I saw a six wheeled CX estate in eynsford in Kent. Silver it were and immaculate by the look of it. I don't know anything about these mythical vehicles but I'm sure that you guys will be able to fill in some details.

Hi Bob

Sorry, wasn't my car but I know Eynsford, used to play in the river when I was a kid.
