Pimped Chryslers tend to have fake Bentley badging, not RR.

What sort of idiot does that anyway? Is it the motoring equivalent of buying a "Roll-X" watch off a bloke in the car park at the motorway services? What better way of announcing to the universe - "I'm a desperate wannabe with no taste whatsoever and more [strike]money[/strike] debt than sense"? Usually accompanied by a "personalised" plate that requires 3 oddly placed screws and a convoluted explanation as to why it relates to the driver.

If you are unsure of the vehicle make, try the VRN on a tyre ordering website.


Edit - though I guess that only shows what MID does.

Hi, just tried that, shows up as being a 911, I guess the plate has now been transferred. With that plate and Porsche as the selection on the dvla site, nothing comes up.


god I'm dull...

Why am I not surprised to find that car was located in the North East... and Seaham at that.


Things you see around here. Honestly.


CU53 HDY... If you have to explain what your plate 'reads' then it doesn't 'read'. I'd not have noticed that at all.

7 characters into cushdy? And fake bently badges? Underendowed?

Flew through the MOT, why not mention the handbrake near the end of its travel and the non functioning tyre pressure system?

Looks like a neglected shed to me, Advisories for brakes and retested 8 days later with the same worn brakes and tyre? Nice to know they have safety in the back of their mind.
