So the new plates came out at the start of the month, this is just really a game to see what you have seen the new plate on....

For me, within a few days, I saw a mondeo, focus and fiesta - accompanied by a toyota auris...not all at the same place lol thankfully there have been no new fooksalls on the road :D

  • Saw a 15 plate Astra on the back of a recovery truck with a smashed front end an hour ago. Sorry no pictures, missed opporunity :(

  • That's probably because they've all broken down or crashed before anyone has a chance to see them :P Case in point lol.

  • Well, it's sort of breaking the rules as its not about modern plates, but someone mentioned landies and so it's kinda related... There is an old one parked not too far from me and the number plate on

Saw a Mondeo, Range Rover and a Land Cruiser yesterday. Unfortunately the last 2 were "owned" by the local "Irish Travelers" - Think that's what we're supposed to call em :lol:

Haha

I would love to have their income and tax exception rates...

435i on the 1st march at 930AM! desperate to get it out much.

sounds like it! lol probably camped out overnight waiting for them...

No doubt, it's actually the only one I've seen.

Not like the old days of R and S regs where the streets were full of new cars within 48hrs, Vectras Galore.

Thank god the day of vauxhall galore are done with...

It's now Fiesta, BMW, RR's and VW Galore, saying that the only Golfs you really see these days are GTI's and R's, the Sirocco which was once stupidly popular died out after a few years, haven't seen one past like a 12 plate I think.

Same for the Alfa Mito, such a great car and for 10K it couldn't be beaten, haven't seen one of them for ages ( probably all broken down or caught fire no doubt )

Strange how these patterns all pop up, some brands and models last forever and others just drift into history, you see more Ferraris now than you do a Peugeot Saloon, the old 406's were stupidly popular.

Think I've even seen more Aventadors than new Subarus. never seen one of the new saloon models of them.

I haven't seen a single other 15 plate than mine yet :d

There's one in my garage :D

My oppo got a 15 plate Golf delivered the day before the plates came out legally on the understanding he didn't drive it until after midnight.

Spotted a couple of Fiesta ST's on Friday. Over the weekend I saw two 'Full fat' Range Rovers and a Discovery and today a Porsche Cayenne.

It doesn't top the first 64 plate I saw last year though, a black Lamborghini Huracan :D

First I saw was on 1st a Mondeo estate very nice. Also seen a fiesta but nothing else.

I saw an X4 mid afternoon on the 1st and since then just the same mercedes c class twice. It must be good getting a new car early in the month and making yours the first you see with that plate. I haven't managed to do that yet but my car was the first blue ST I ever saw in person! Literally moments later I saw another one in the dealer, lucky they were parked that way round lol.

I've seen plenty of 15 plate Audis because there is a massive Audi dealership next to my office. It shows how boring Audi drivers are though cos about 90% of them are some variety of grey colour (didn't want to say "shades of grey" for obvious reasons lol).

There was a 15 plate white Astra parked at my office yesterday, any other car I'd be admiring it but in this case I was just thinking "why did you go for a new Vauxhall when there are other brands of car" lol.

My oppo got a 15 plate Golf delivered the day before the plates came out legally on the understanding he didn't drive it until after midnight.

I'd like to see what would happen if he couldn't wait, maybe would get a fine for "driving a new car".

Seen plenty on the road, mostly Vauxhalls, BMWs and Peugeots.

No new plates for us at the min, last year we got the Range Rover on the 14 plate, it was the second one I've seen!

Our cars are 14, 64 and an 08. My dads neighbour just got his new McLaren though!!

I would but my dad is away in Cyprus house hunting so I won't be at his house for a while. :(

I wil when I get a chance. :)

Saw my first new Mondeo on the road today, although it was a 64 plate. Looked very nice, except when it turned left I noticed it had the smallest alloys known to man, kind of ruined it :(

Style and zetec have 16" rims

Maybe it was a hybrid?? Saw some pics of one and it had quite small wheels...

That might be it, cos those rims looked tiny. I bet it's really comfortable though.

The rims on the Mondeo hybrid are small, unfortunately it had to be like this to get it into the emissions bracket it sits in and therefore cannot be upgraded at time of order.

Yes it is very comfortable

I saw my first 'other than mine' 15 plate today, a black golf doing less than 70 in lane 3...
