mfa-polo: that is by far the dirtiest car i've ever seen!!!!!!

Have you been pulled by the local fuzz tho, because you can't even read your number plate. Surely thats an offence!

My bro recently bought a personalised reg and within 2hours of putting his new plates on he was pulled. The officer said that the letters and numbers were spaced incorrectly which made the plate un-readable causing them to be illegitamate.

Surely ppl with plates covered in mud should be gettin pulled!

Not having a go at you personally mfa-polo, but it ain't too hard just to keep the plates clean and readable!

Yep, it is an offense for the number plate not to be visible (aint been pulled though!).

As regards your comments about keeping it clean: I washed it this morning, and by 4pm the number plate wasnt visible again. A lot of you will life in cities, but I have to get to work on b-roads, and the mud left on the road by tractors is ridiculous! (not getting at farmers!)

Same happened to me but it took them 7 months to pull me for it.

This is how I had it

You should get teflon spray and hopefully the mud will slide straight off

tbh, you could easily read ATOM X even it was in standard format.
All you need now is an Atom!

I couldn't bare it anymore so I took mine to work yesterday and used the Jet Wash on it, it had to be done.

it has just started snowing here in good old Kent! getting quite slippery and its only been going properly for 15mins!

^^ what u doin in 4th at 20mph??

SpikeyG40 · Post by **SpikeyG40** » Tue Dec 27, 2005 1:09 am

was testing the road surface for slipperyness! don't worry, i don't drive around like an old lady in a mirca!

select second, foot down= wheel spin no problems
select third, foot down = wheel spin
select fourth, foot down = wheel spin

see on a good day, my car spins in 1st and 2nd no problem, but never had it spinning in 3rd, so had to try didn't i!

good point....
...never had wheel spin in 4th myself...

is it just a lil bit of spin and then back to norm??
