It snowed a little this morning.

Which meant it was time for Twingo photos. Featuring bonus Laguna and new Mazda 6 estate.

White? me likey like, normally only see silver steelies on trailers around here, else it’s atrocious hubcaps or black bland ones.

Is the Twingo a local car to you? As in was it registered near to you? Yours is a YS and mine is a YX.

The fact that I can’t have any of these makes me want them more.

White is the best wheel colour.

YS is Glasgow, and YX is central London. There is apparently no logic to UK plate designation and location.

Those are incorrect for this is from a DVLA pdf

That was the old original, prefix and suffix system.

Where areas received the original letter according to which areas applied in order of request for registration usage (hence why Carlisle was AO, but also HH and RM as when all ‘AO’ sequences were used up, they applied for another by which time ‘HH’ was the next and so issued to Carlisle DVLA office and so on) and why the registration ‘A1’ isn’t in fact the first actual registration issued. But merely the local authority given the letter ‘A’ to use hadn’t actually registered it to a vehicle before some other authority used it (I don’t recall which authority or what the plate number was).

You can’t get the Mazda?

The two Renaults aren’t really anything to bother about though.

It’s very sunny here and I’m 30-40 miles west of him. :p

Well that makes much more sense. I was wondering why my Skoda was registered in Portsmouth and then its first sale was in Carlisle.

Edit: it obviously wasn't.

All I know is the plate isn’t local to me and the previous owner lived in Sheffield. Car was delivered from Sheffield to my local dealer as a stock reshuffle.

It came with crappy hubcaps originally so they went in the bin and I painted the steelies. Really spruced up the car.

I was gonna say the original invoice for my GTI was from Yorkshire so central London didn’t make sense.

Looks like a Sheffield plate according to DVLA. So you aren’t a Yorkshire lad?

My car appears to have migrated a long way.

US hates wagons. No Fusion/Mondeo, Mazda6, the upcoming Optima, even the top Audi Avants. It’s silly!

We collectively need to sort out a National Oppo meet, being it an event or just some place in the country, Goodwood Festival of Speed would be a good one but whilst it’s only 40 mins from me it’s many, many hours from you guys in the North.

Yeah I’ve been thinking that for a while. Find a middleground that gives us all an evenish drive. There’s plenty of good and not too expensive motorsports events around the country so even if it isn't goodwood we could hit up a BTCC round or something.

Donington is a mission but I’ve been there before so it’s not so bad. But that’s still only the midlands, I usually make it an overnight thing if I go there.

Yeah I’ve been to Donnington too for a Renault event (car show and Renault megane trophy, clio cup etc races).

I’ve been twice in my studying days when we raced an old Formula Renault.

That’s pretty cool, I’ve seen a few Formula Renault races, one at Silverstone, one at Donnington and I think the other was Croft.

They are mental. Ours had 140hp but was quicker than current BTCC round brands. It 540kg with driver, and of course downforce helps.

It’s snowing for everybody today and I’m sitting here wondering if it will snow at all this season.

(Mazda 6 Wagon/Touring/Estate makes me giddy)

It’s a smart looking car in person. This one was a rental I believe.
