FAO Andy with the Astra with the black number plates..!

Do you get any bother from the police with that type/colour of number plate fitted to the front and rear of your car mate.?

Its just that I would like them on my car as they go well with Burgundy.

Cheers

Micky

I think he said he has had them on for 5 months now - and not got stopped once!

If i remember correctly he doesnt have them on every day, he only uses them for meets/shows etc.

Trig Guess it depends on how randy the coppers are where you live and how you drive...

As Andy is not online at the moment - and he was talking to me earlier about them....

I think he said he has had them on for 5 months now - and not got stopped once!

which sounds good to me!

Cheers for interest and replys. To clear things up...a bit of both really: I've had the rear one on for months now...and yes got away with it.....but it took a lot of effort: every copper i see i avoid, its quite funny but also getting to be a pain in the @rse. So i'll probably be changing it back soonish. As for the front one i figured that'd be pushing my luck a bit too far as its a tad under-sized too and so only stays on for a couple of days around shows/meets.

Just wanna say thanks to Oly for all the organisation etc as i think it was much appreciated by everyone. A good day and some good results had by most. The rain held out most of the day and a good turnout was seen.

I got quite a few photos too, but Oly's has a good variety so unless any one wants a specific one I won't bother posting unles i get some spare time as they'll take a while.

Cheers guys

AndyMk3Astra · 02-12-2002, 13:52

Exhaust, air box mod, **** loads of TLC and a skimmed head (if that makes a difference) oh and a good-decoking(sp) in the previous week

Kenny's Cally only got 177 tho, the race is on to find out why and to get it sorted

NickWebb · 04-12-2002, 12:37

is that red 8v turbo owned by the person who runs PLR designs

04-12-2002, 18:02

erm... not sure about PLR - but hes a black guy (possibly south african/ jamican) with a front gold tooth!

Trig · 04-12-2002, 18:14

Yeah, he's also so laid back he's horizontal..

They couldnt strap his car on the rollers so he asked them if they wanted him to take the front bumper off

Trig · 04-12-2002, 18:28

Yeah but it was the tone in his voice and look on his face, he was like I dont care eitherway....

**Nobbie** · 04-12-2002, 18:33

At least he smiled when he saw his bhp figure. the guy with the 3litre mk2 didn't move a muscle.
