Not quite sure I follow that sentance.  B-)

> i refuse to pay another retainer on it and

Retention fee is only £25/year AFAICT but the DVLA site is a little wordy
and doesn't have nice tables showing costs, at least not that I have
found. Also can't figure out from the DVLA site if you can transfer a
retention document to another person. I bet you can only assign it to a
vehicle.

> how will you put it on your car though?

Can't but could go on the other halfs 02 Fiesta. Best would be a transfer
of retention, if allowed.

I believe you can transfer to another person, but then you lose all rights

No criticism, the thought just amused me.  The local Jaguar dealer has a Jag
(dunno what, not interested, but sporty, long and low) with the reg B16 CAT.

Are you sure?  I thought that was one of the combinations the licensing
authorities ruled should not be issued, along with S3 MEN, VAG 1N, Fxxx UCK
and all Leeds numbers ending xxx BUM, CUM etc.

As a boy growing up in Leeds I never saw BUM, CUM or anything remotely rude
(and I was looking!), although Dad had PUM and DUM.

There's a doctorate thesis in this, I reckon.

It does me as well, considering the Fiesta would be parked next to a DII

These silly plates make me laugh.  I saw one today, young girl in a
hatchback, reg was S? TEF.  So I'm guessing you're called Steph, right?
Well what is that number plate doing, cos it doesn't spell Steph, it says S?
TEF, which is not the same.  You don't have a number in the middle of your
name, so why do you think S? TEF is, like, "yours"?  It isn't.

There's a body-kitted Escort, bright red, spoiler, all the ICE advertised on
the outside, parked up on a flatbed in a repairers I pass every day.  The
number plate says GAV, which I guess is the guy's name, but someone has
cheekily altered it with a permanent marker to GAY.  Oh dear.

Saw F1BRE once whilst driving from Wittering to Leicester, on a ferrari
something-or-other, thought it quite apt for summat made of fibres and

I didn't think many Ferraris were made of fibreglass, just one or two
models and not even for their whole model run.  I don't know about
modern ferraris as I don't have much interest in them.

As for "rich twat", generally you'd have to be a bit odd to buy a fezz
as there's much better cars to be had for much less money, but
considering you can get a running fezz for £10,000 and up these days
there's plenty of people in here who could afford several!  A new
Range Rover would cost the same as a second-hand good-condition decent
spec fezzer.

I knew a chap once who had 5 Ferrari engines..  Not Ferrari cars, just
the engines!  Never figured out why.  They are nice to look at, but
considering that's all you can do with them, it seemed a bit odd.
Kept them in a shed covered in oil rags, never did anything with
them.

This was a modern-looking thing, similar to an F40 in style I think, but
then I couldn't tell you one from another - they do nothing for me I'm
afraid. What's the point of all that bhp at that high an rpm, better to have
torque low down, I say! ;-)

Ok, point taken. I was working on the assumption that it was worth around
£100k+ or somesuch area, seein' as it looked pretty new to me. Never had the
inclination to go into a ferrari dealers and ask the prices, seein' as there
ain't any in Morayshire anyway. LOL.

Hmmmmm.... re-cam for torque and fit to a 110..... where's he live? Second
thoughts, each one's probably worth a lot more than my 110!

Yeah like a nice big Chevvy V8 in a small spaceframe chassis, say, for
example, an Ultima GTR, a car that I try to work into every
conversation where possible, apart from those with bank managers..
Almost worth selling the house for, if it didn't belong to Northern Rock.

£65K will get you a high-spec modern-ish one that's done less than 10K
miles, but it would also get you a Fraser-Nash open-wheeled vintage
racer, and I know which is more fun!  Can't afford either unfortunately..

Can't go an an 02 Fiesta, has to be a 54 plate or newer!

not an 02 it can't, you can't make the vehicle look younger than it is. It'd
need to be a winter 2004/5 car to have a 54 plate.
