That was exactly what I thought when I hovered over the link as there is a street in Basingstoke that looks the same and is full of old biddies

Phil - have you had any trouble with the police and the numbers on the car? Had a mate from college whose parents had a stickered up vectra back in 98. They were asked to remove the livery. It was a touring car rep but they had to remove all the decals.

BTW - car looks very nice

i think legally you have to put a cross through any numbers on the car, but they have to catch you 1st
