Keep the X reg. Private plates are for the nouveau riche.

 

[Rocko]

Put a 355 plate on it to annoy people.

[rupertfinch]

Never done bumping into Robert at Glyndebourne.

"The trouble with telling all that you had 'made it' is that you are also boasting that you come from that sector of society that enjoys a relatively short life span."

Is he talking about financial life span or actual life span? Do rich people live longer?

People who inherit wealth really think they are great don't they, even when they have done nothing.

Sounds like he's best mates with Rees-Mogg, keep the peasants in their place for they know not what they do etc etc. I'd really like to see that fecker swing from a high branch, hypocritical tosspot.

The rich really do live longer.
Take Glasgow - there’s a 10 year Life expectancy difference between Bears Den and Drumchapel.

Auld Robert from the Fezza owners club there is 127, by the time he reaches 150 those trousers will be above his nipples.

I have had an incredibly stressful morning. Your post has just unwound a lot of that with my laughter. Thank you!

Bit extreme on the basis of a correct opinion on tacky number plates!

 

[FM155]

Proportionate I'd say lol

Few little things addressed today.

Lacquer chip on the front bumper….

Repaired…

I’ll address the smaller, upper chip next weekend - the larger one was my priority today.

Also, the passenger side door handle had a tiny bit of lacquer peel which I couldn’t resist picking (and made it 1000 times worse). So today, I removed the door handle, flattened it back, painted and lacquered.

Before:

After:

I’m really quite surprised at how good of a colour match this new batch of paint is! The last stuff was a noticeably different shade of Rosso Corsa 322.

I want to give the whole car a half-decent buff and ceramic coat it before the summer.

Also just waiting on some stitched material coming to recover the centre console from the now, mismatched burgundy to grey+red stitch.

Then it’s going to be listed on Collecting Cars

That's fairly impressive touching up.....

 

[Rigger]

Looks like you did a great job there, can't see any blending at all.

Selling already ? What's the replacement?

Yep. The plan was always to own it for a year then reinvest the money from its sale into a business but the business purchase came a little bit sooner than expected.

Don’t worry, a Pista will replace it in a couple of years.

I picked myself up a new private plate with more than one meaning

Buy the plate first then get the car….in a while lol

Couldn’t say no to myself when I saw it!

Went on a long spin today with the drive365 guys, down to Blanchardstown and back up to Whiteriver karting. The carpark is indicative of how competitive the karting was lol

a professional photographer was there who sent me some awesome pics of my own….
