This post has been on my to-do list ever since I bought it about a month ago but I finally got round to cleaning it and getting some pictures.

It’s quite an upgrade from the 2.0 litre ford focus I had before

As any sane person would know, it’s fairly obvious that the plate in one of the pictures above reads “E 3 O N X” and although the place where I got it printed said it’s technically illegal due the spacing I didn’t think I took it too over the top – I mean I’ve seen cars with plates that are blatantly taking the piss with letters cut off, bent and even the black pins positioned so that it could be difficult to establish the true registration.

Anyway after having it on the car for several weeks, a number of police cars behind me and one even pulling me up for supposedly having it declared off the road when I went to the tax office and taxed it myself it seemed they wasn’t that bothered about it… until one pulled me up the other day and got his little ruler out to measure the spacing and stated by law the first and second set (E3 and ONX) have to be 33mm apart. I didn’t bother asking how far they were and not that petty to actually look a loser and check myself but I would guess that they are 10-15mm apart.

I got fined £60 and have to change them at my earliest convenience, it is on my to-do list I swear
