Ahh the stupidity of the year identifier on GB number plates. Don't see such shenanigans elsewhere in Europe.

Yep my Mum got bumped like this when the dealer wouldn't hold on to the car for her to have a 59 plate.

I've gotten hold of my SLi number today and been online to see where the car is.... message reads........Status: At Germany Port Released for Shipping

So it looks like it should be here pretty soon, then the Grimsby delay, then transported to Mansfield. I cant see that taking more then 3 months .

60 plate it is for me then, but hoping at least a 2011 registration with the "must be registered within 2 weeks policy".

How long does DVLA shut down for the holiday period, is it December 24 -February 28th ?

The Snow roof vRS has landed

I'm going to be a 2010 60-plater, damn !

Looking on the brightside, it is a rather nice Christmas present to myself
