That, and you can see that they're lighting up from the cabin, so you know no-one has any excuse for ignoring them because going against type, I *do* use them ;)

Edit: anyone who knows me on Facebook will know I've not mentioned a word of this on there.

Watch my brother try to slag my decision off because he drives a 1.6 TD feckin Leon or something :lol:

I've memorised it already, which has been handy for insurance websites etc :lol:

It'll probably go at some point though - the mate who gave me a lift up does something related to number plate trading, he reckons it's an £80 plate but maybe that's just what he wants to buy it from me for so he can sell it for more....or it's just not that great a personal plate....;)
