DanGull Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 So I'm cruising along the M11 at the interchange with the A14 at 5:30 this evening - doing 70 in the inside lane. Low and behold, someone overtakes me then pulls in front of me in a purpley/blue Mk5 Fiesta. Cruise control has to come off, but I think nothing of it. Suddenly, back seat passenger (blonde girl, around 14-15) holds up a sign saying 'HELLO DAN GULL' and waves at me! Car promptly pulls away. Now - 1) Who are you? 2) You do realise you were in a Specs camera zone so you're probably going to get a ticket. 3) I was so shocked I almost ran in the back of you. Freaky... You have !Removed! good eyes if you are on here - my FOC sticker is tiny and on my FRONT screen, and I always obscure the first half of my plate when I post here!

I was on that road but earlier in the day. Plus I dont have a blonde teenage girl in the back of car sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyjaj Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Well to be fair dan you do have the wrong part of your reg plate covered up. the first 2 letters on your reg plate are where it was registered, so anybody can have them. Both mine and my mums registrations start OE, which means it a car registered in Oxford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussex Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 2) You do realise you were in a Specs camera zone so you're probably going to get a ticket. What does that mean?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGull Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Sussex - it was an average speed camera zone. I was doing bang on 70 - and the Fiesta in question sprinted off at well above that. They're likely to get a speeding ticket. Amy - I don't understand your post. There are hundreds of cars which have the same last three letters as my car, and as Mike says the first four are personalised. I cover them only to prevent cloning, and having the last three will do you no good there. If I cover the last three, the first four are just as distinct. Someone has made a !Removed! good spot to catch three letters of my plate and know it's me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Shark Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Someone has made a !Removed! good spot to catch three letters of my plate and know it's me Yeah but how many other people with those last 3 letters are going to be in Frozen White Fiesta Titaniums which are impeccably detailed? It wouldn't be that hard to work out it's you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNStuff Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 More importantly, who keeps a pen and blank sign ready just in case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGull Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 The 'sign' was a bit Heath Robinson - it wasn't really a sign, more of a big notepad with writing on SS - yes, you're probably right. I always look out for other Mk7s as possible members, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Oh - one thing, the car is currently filthy thanks to lots of miles in not very long and lack of detailing weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyR Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Wasn't me but your car is a White Titanium with personalised reg and full dress up kit plus 17" rims and you have changed the Ford badges. Your hardly hard to spot on the road mate!! I haven't seen ANY white Fezza's in my area let alone the same spec as mine, needless to say I get lot's of looks...

hedgepig Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Suddenly, back seat passenger (blonde girl, around 14-15) holds up a sign saying 'HELLO DAN GULL' and waves at me! Car promptly pulls away. I can't understand why you're complaining Dan! ;) Hardly any girls, teenage or not, drive past me then slow down and hold up a sign saying "Hello Mr Hedgepig" and my car is instantly recognisable from the personal plate so I'm dead jealous!!!!!! You must have something going for you aftet all............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
