Haha, I actually stole it! I thought it summed up the situation https://images.app.goo.gl/u2n1VPn1copaUreo8
Glad it all worked out (apart from your two pronged attack ) you got what you wanted and the sales guy got to take you up the bypass! Sounds like a fun filled day all round!
I had a Fiat Panda once. I got a call from the Police at about 1 am. A drunk driver ploughed into it while it was parked. The drunk driver could not deny it as they had to cut her out of the wreckage ! - she was ok, air bags and seat belts and all that. She had an argument with her boyfriend at a party and stormed off in the car - and crashed it ! - she could not hand her insurance details quick enough after receiving a letter from my lawyer - you are responsible for this........ poor girl Anyway, my involvement with Fiat Pandas ended there but I kept the reg number for years, had a good number on it.
Good one, Mattie. I don't think there's many on here with a love of number plates. Could make a good new thread, 'Show us your plates' which I will start, although I understand some are reluctant to put up the full plate.
