Muppet in a Audi tt video.

This is likely.

I run a 60s Italian car on which I use a mini white-on-black front plate (in the Italian style).

Many Italian cars of the era look wrong with full-size front plates.

In the boot I keep a full-size plate with holes the same distance apart.

The car wears it for about three hours a year; the same three hours every year.

It's not a vanity plate (personalised registration), it's just that cute Italian cars of the era must have small front plates. To equip themm otherwise would be a crime against all that is stylish.

Much more important to be stylish than legal.

Aren't white on black plates legal on cars of a certain vintage?

A friend of mine was having a rant the other day because he'd taken his vehicle to be MOTed and it had failed on a bunch of things which had been present when it passed last year... his solution appeared to be to take it away and send it to the place that passed it last year (having fixed whatever new probelms there were to fix...)

They are indeed.

They are. You're right. As are silver on black, which I now realise mine are.

The illegality is in the size not the colour or font: The front plate is 3" x 12".

That's seriously tiny, but on Italian cars of a certain age anything else just looks wrong.

Oh noes, you made the video private? What's up?

Anyone else think Audis are the new BMWs?

Definitely!I drive into Lincolnshire once a week ,statistically the most dangerous roads in the uk.Only because of TWATdrivers.They are (in order of merit)BMW ,Freelanders,Motorcycles,And....drumroll-AUDIS!

My observations are personal and anecdotal.

And if you are old enough, back in the eighties BMWs became the new Cortina Mk 3

Was your previous car a beemer?



It has to be something!

 

[jansman]

Obviously we cannot call all drivers of certain brand cars,But they DO tend to drive to type!

Bit lare but - What sort of 60's Italian car is it ?

indeed! Maggers!!!!!!

Saying "all Audi/BMW drivers are dangerous buffoons" is as bad as "all cyclists jump red lights".

FYI, my FIL drives an Audi, and he's probably the safest driver I've ever seen.

And, what's happened to the video?

 

[Jezston]

Well its private rather than taken down, which suggests ongoing investigation perhaps?

Maggers!
