Snap !!

I know we don't usually publish number plates but this is just too scary not to share

Great photo!

A while ago, they moved the aerial to the back, put the windscreen washers on top of the bonnet instead of being concealed under the bonnet/windscreen overhang and also introduced at the same time an actual boot release handle rather than the older versions which had the boot release button which was under the lip just above the rear number plates.

There's some pics in the Gallery section when the changes were first noticed by a KOC member.

Very interesting picture!!

At first I thought that these vehicles were sitting on a Dealer's lot - I meant to take a picture a few year's ago, when I was trading in one Red Escort Estate for a new one - and the new one was sitting ready for me to collect when I drove in - and so, with my personal reg number, there were two vehicles, apparently identical, sitting side-by-side in the dealer's parking lot.

However, this picture is even more interesting, because the number plates are NOT actually identical!! Yet they are so close it really DOES result in a 'double take' (in fact I had to look SEVERAL times before I spotted the difference!)

Certainly, a perfect choice if you are going to own two 'identical' machines !!

It made me think back to a pair of identical cars I used to see here in Aberdeen their reg numbers were
<FOX 1 E> and <V 1 XEN>
I used to get a big smile out of that pair every time I saw them !! (Until I then saw <B10 JOB> down in London, with a 'high-class' lady driver !!)

Cheers,
