Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

I can see pictures of many other cars on this thread that aren't Mercedes, if its that much of an issue then why was no warning given to any other members? A bit rude if you ask me, but if you want me to leave i'll be more than happy.

I agree Wasim. This used to be a friendly forum, but has become such a introverted cosy club lately that you wonder why it's still available on such a public medium as the worldwide web.

I threw in the towel on it a few months back when they were all recommending that they should damage other people's cars if they parked too close and here we go again, just two people showing off their own prides and joys and they come down on us like a ton of bricks!

You enjoy your M3 and its snazzy plate and I'll keep my beauties well away from the miserable buggers! :p

You throwing your toys out of the pram again, jdrrco? :rolleyes:

Nobody came down on anyone like a ton of bricks. All I said was that I didn't think this thread was intended for people to display their own number plates. That was me expressing an opinion. Doesn't mean I'm right (after all, I wasn't even a member when this thread was started) and anyone who thinks otherwise is free to say so. That's what forums are all about.

For what it's worth, I think you have an interesting pair of numbers on your cars, although it's a shame you've rendered the SL unroadworthy in the process.

What's wrong with the red SL then? :confused:

Absolutely nothing, of course.

He's trying to be clever by suggesting that because the black and silver plates don't comply with the MOT test, the car is somehow "unroadworthy"! Although, of course, he hasn't mentioned that about any of the other plates in the 500+ posts on here!

He has also completely failed to notice that the car is parked on a private drive and that number plates don't affect the driving or stopping abilities of a car in any way.

I'm afraid he threw a hissy fit when I suggested in an earlier thread that vandalising people's cars if they park too close to you was perhaps over-reacting a little and then he decided to be unpleasant for the sake of it again in this thread.

Of course, his own life complies with the letter of the law in every respect, tyres are always at precisely the correct pressures, speed limits adhered to at all times, yet happy deliberately to damage a car if he didn't like the way the driver had parked. If only everyone in the world was like him, how perfect it would be! :D

This is becoming laughable.

Hissy fits really aren't my thing, and neither is vandalising cars, so you're clearly confusing me with someone else.

However, a car that is incapable of passing an MoT is, by definition, unroadworthy, regardless of where it happens to be parked. No need for you to feel victimised, though, as I've mentioned in several posts that I disapprove of illegal number plates. Again, just my opinion, of course. (And the law's.)
 
Saw 2550 PH (I think) on a black Mercedes W111 convertible parked in Earls Court Square. Too dark for an iPhoto!

Love the car. I had one myself many many moons ago.

I see you have added the turbo bodykit. I presume though the car being a 72 is the round rear light model?

Alas, the person who restored it fitted the square ones, which is one of the few things I am likely to change in time, but the round rear lights are pretty expensive. I think the turbo kit looks superb, fortunately with a later cylinder head and injection system plus electronic control, it is close to Turbo levels of performance, without the lag!
 
Slightly OT
Charles, you will then need the mirrored 'turbo' decal that the turboed BMWs of that era had on the front spoiler then. :) :devil:

That would be heresy! At least the bodykit serves an aerodynamic purpose (as do the go faster stripes.....) :)

You can buy all this stuff, quite amazingly. Important parts though, slightly more difficult if not being made still by BMW heritage.
