totally agree i keep getting asked why my number plate is so big with such short digits simple its legal it is a narrow plate as the law allows with 5 digits but height of letters and spacing is correct

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

I’m generally in favour of enforcement for obvious manipulation for vanity purposes. Saw a woman driving a Lexus on the M40 with silver number plates and black lettering of a strange font as she flew by me. Ten minutes later, I caught up to see her and a copper on the hard shoulder standing behind her car, her gesticulating wildly in anger while he pointed at the offending plate.

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

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.

@ianali has she got you on rations or has the cooker broke !

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

The T's & C's we are bound by do have details of minimum age and a roof is mentioned. I'm on holiday for a couple of weeks but I'll confirm when I get back PASSENGER CRITERIA UPDATE: under 18s must have signed approval from their parent or guardian to participate in a track parade Passengers in touring cars or cabriolet/sports cars with the roof erected or hardtop fitted must be over 12 years old and at least 135cm in height Passengers in cars without a roof erected or without hard top must be at least 16 years old and at least 135cm in height No children under 12 years old are allowed to participate in track parade. There is more with regards car insurance a liability which I will post separately when I'm home from holiday as it's a bit awkward trying to read and copy the T's & C's on my phone

Welcome Andy I see your in colchester im about 25 miles west and there's a good bunch of members around this part of essex also you have mk sportscars down in braintree good lads there very knowledgeable on all types of 7 look forward to seeing your build develop no pressure were all be watching

Welcome aboard, I chose the lazier, ready built and running option as I was sick of a previous project and just wanted to get out and drive, plus I do this for a living and one thing I've learned is once Ive finished work I don't want to work on my own stuff, kinda wish I knew that before starting my career as id have chosen something else so my love for working on cars wouldn't dampen, now i need a pay cheque to get me motivated and i don't pay myself haha

As if we do that Ian

“Bet the mug’s won’t last 10 years”. Time will tell. @SootySport They will however last longer on the pyjama bottom. 10 years of fast fun! Indeed. ATB HB.

Had to take the westy to work. I failed to authorise charging last night Then as I was late after having to move cars and fill up I didnt put the tonneau cover on so I got back into a wet padded seat and was soaked before I got my belt on then 45 wet motor way miles. A great day
