Must be being signwritten before delivery.

I remember year ago a few local dealers advertised on the radio that they had a party to collect your new car on the stroke of midnight. Does anyone still do this or did the easy credit years put new cars so easily in the reach of the man in the street that it lost it's novelty?

My 58 car is out of date already? :-(

But then 1958 was a long time ago...

I saw my first 59 plate today at 8.15 am. It was a Skoda Superb stuck on the side of the A3 with its bonnet up, having just had an engine fire extinguished by the fire brigade.

Oh dear!

In a rush to get cars ready it wouldn't surprise me if the dealer forgot to take out transit packaging from under the bonnet.

I've seen quite a few, but I have passed Audi, Jaguar, Ford, VW and Vauxhall dealers this morning!

My first 59 (this morning) was a blue Passat estate on the M9.

My two-week-old 09-reg car has suddenly aged :-(

I didn't see a 59 plate all day until about 1530. Since then, I've seen about six of 'em. Weirdly, three of them have been Mazda 2s.

A Kymco 125 motorbike on 'L' plates parked in Durham City.

Looked quite smart, even if some of the castings/pressings are not up to Japanese standards.

Don't suppose the price is up to Japanese standards, either.

Decent first motorised transport for somebody and I hope the lad - or lass - enjoys it.

On the road, I saw a Toyota Aygo which really looked the part in metallic blue.

Mine was a BMW 3 series parked in the local multistorey at about 15,30.

Funnily enough was the first time have seen a new issue plate on the day of release for a couple of years- has taken upto a week before.

How unusual - normally its the Audi drivers that tailgate!

Methinks if I had seen this, I would have passed with a huge grin on my face!
