That's the plan.. :bounce:

do you not carry your normal plastic ones?

If im gonna run german plates i NEVER forget my plastic ones in the boot. Get pulled over "sorry officer i forgot to change them" swap them over to legal ones and they dont normally care and let you on your way.

Running pressed plates without having your legal plates is just stupid in my opinion.

where can i get the legal ones from around here? i thought i heard someone say u can get them done in cambs?

had this happen to me also but it was the 1st time i had been stopped for plates so u was lucky to get a warning 1st time around, got the same letter as u too but no fine as the nice man decided to fine me for my window tints instead n said if i didnt remove those id be done for dangerous driving?? i now only use my show plates while at a show on private property where they cannot do anything about it!

ive been done for it too, never ran them since, there really is no point

Thats the place, opposit where we have our meets

Been meaning to get some dubmeister ones for ages, think its more of a birthday present though

can you just go carnoisoirsriurisorui and get them done while you wait? i warn you people, then man in there is a complete toss pot!

The man in carnoiseuuerree is a complete knob. Seems like he does everything he can to put you off buying things.

Just carry proper plates and say you have been to a show and forgotten to cange them

I just gunna take my doc's to the shows and buy them on dubmeisters stand. They'll deliver free then

when i got caught the first time i had my legals in the boot, told the copper and he said he didnt care he was gunna fine me whateva lol, so i told him id keep them on n get me muneys worth, second time the copper, had a good look round me car and in my boot, under my bonnet etc, and let me go coz i convinced him i was late to a weeding, always run legal plates in newmarket!!

in newmarket? was it quite late you got nicked??, cos i know theyre barstewards after dark cos of the rude boy scene in newmarket? ive never had a problem with my black and silver plates on my golf, theyve got dodgey spacing too? spose its just luck?

always in newmarket never any where else, first time was at 2.30am at deniros n second time was near the thingy paddocks the like wedding reception place thingy, when i just missed the turning at around 8pm in august lol

Must be down to the copper! Only been pulled over once and that was for excess speed. PC Plod checked my tyres then asked my why I had a D on my no. plate and then let me go.

Also had a crack in the windscreen and let me off for that as I had MOT in a month.

That was in Newmarket aswell.

what about black and red us spec plates lol ! and yes that geeza in canrnoisuueuiurs is a dick cheese.

That pretty much sums up the first reason, newmarket at one point was having a massive crack down on people doing laps around the town and now almost everyone driving through deniros gets nicked.

Im not sure where you mean on the second tho?


ive got bets on spanner getting nicked within the week for his plates

i konw Ru in Carnoisseur very well i used to work there so there is no need to slag him off he is just trying to help and tell u about the plates

A mate of mine got pulled over in wisbech at silly 0'clock for his tints and plates. They gave him a warning and told him if they caught him again they'd get the dvla to re-register it as a Q plate?!

got stopped for mine in kings lynn last weekend, managed to blag not getting a fine as i had my others in the boot and changed them over. they said that if i got caught again the dvla would cease my registration and give me a different plate of the same age. he didnt say anything about the 300/400 quid though

Its really stupid isnt it,I mean as long as they are reflective and properly spaced,yellow and white.I cant see a problem.Its like some of you say,down to the copper and if he got laid by his missus or not last night lol.

I met a copper and I had my plates on while parked up in march.I was picking my sisters mate up at the rail station.Thought I was in for a lecture about them,but instead the bloke, said nice car mate!,and told me about this website, true story. he's into air cooled bugs and campers If i remember.

Also in addition to all this,my car was MOT'd on a day ago and failed big time,but it didnt fail on the plates..what can i say
