Monthly meet for a natter and a pint, usual venue, The Crown Inn Bridport DT6 4AX from 19.30. Usual informal format, come and go as you please. Arriving in a Westfield isn’t compulsory, all welcome.

Sorry Mark, my mistake! I'll add a passenger on!

Great if you have

I have one somewhere

That's a very fine margin, surprised if standard plates are that accurate.

Hi @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO I originally asked for driver and passenger but note that above it's only me listed. Am I down for 2 people? Mark

I got done and mine was 7mm out, that was by a mobile camera van in Humberside. ive had mine at least 10 yrs and this is the first.

I'll be there

Have a great day @Andrew O Byrne White - Ireland AO

See you there @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman)

It’s our regular meet this Thursday, usual time and place, the Golden Pheasant, Plumley, around 7pm if eating, else around 7.30pm. Lets hope the weather holds and we can start seeing some Westfields again after the long winter!

If the government issued the number plates (stamped into steel) direct to the owner and not the dealer, it would prevent the issue in the first place and stop number plate cloning as well. Many other countries do it successfully but hey, that makes sense so we’d better not do that.

That's what worries me, it's just another tax scheme, taking more cash off the motorist. Equally, the plates which have been changed so much they take the micky should be pulled up. Fine line off course.

My wife has personal plate with legal font type and size but just slightly tweaked spacing. We've had it for 30 years without problem, will be furious if suddenly points and a fine turn up! The dodgy ones around me are travellers with Transits on totally fake plates, but they'll be immune as normal.

Agree harder on the eye but the constant reason they give is ANPR can’t pick them up but that’s a lie, car park ANPR is bottom of the barrel and picks them up, everyone I know with dodgy spacing still get fines in the post? So clearly gets picked up, seems easier now to just run no plate lol i just hate the fact that all these police force Facebook pages etc all they brag about is traffic offences, they never post things like, This weeks task force, we took down a burglary gang or bank robbery gang, exposed a fraud team etc it’s just this week we took down 87 motorists with miss spaced plates, 3 drivers doing 44 in a 40 zone and 7 drivers with window tints

It’s ok for a camera but for the naked eye a car with a smaller plate would need to be closer to you for you to be able to read it as clearly as a full sized plate.

Potentially another cash cow for the DVLA I guess. I don't think it's serious enough for 3 points though

Pretty sure I saw Mr & Mrs Ash Mason being interviewed on telly the other night , giving there views . If not then someone has cloned them

I really don’t get the problem as all ANPR cameras still read them even if illegally spaced or smaller lettering so why not just focus on fake plates

Thanks very much

I'm locating and buying parts at the Moment lots of work to do including rebuilding that Toyota 4A-GE Engine only makes sense in the long run. Basically the frame and running gear looks good, Body needs a lot of attention including reforming the bits that have been cut away. I'll post pictures soon then everyone can see what's wrong and advise on relocation of fuel lines etc. My costs probably going to rise very quickly.

My Alfa is the same, legally spaced 5 digit plate. I didn't want to risk getting pulled by moving the O. I got it when I was 50. However, I didn't realise that the Westfield has motorbike sized digits until I made a new one. Technically illegal I suppose.
