I work with a boy who has autism, very bright kid. When he sees number plates, he can tell what month and year they were issued, within reason, varies depending on how many cars sold, re-issued plates etc... but he has been pretty spot-on.

My plates used to be on the golf, and he told me they were issued around aug 54...

The guy i bought my old 66, which had the plates on it from new, told me the owners traded a barndoor to buy the 66 new. Interesting if true...

The rta wernt too helpful in finding dates and history on the plates, does anyone know if there is a way to find out exact dates of when plates were issued? Or is my student the best bet?

Couldn't get over how good it sounded. Nice bit of plumbing going on in there.

Hey Ash. What you up to in Sweden? You're not the bloke making Volvos look half right surely?
