Default Back In The Game

In March 2012 becoming a student as a result of failing to find a job after redundancy forced me to sell my S2000.

Tonight I picked up my new one - The picture is pretty poor due to my camera in darkness - It's a 2008 Berlina Black GT with Black/Red interior - With a nice number plate I bagged in a recent auction.

Hi mate, Well done on the retraining. What did you do? Feels good to pick up a new skill and even better when it brings cash for toys.

Good on you

Ps car/plate combo looks killer. And your car is parked in a spot I dream of. Why don't supermarkets have those?

Live in Guernsey I guess

An oval containing the letters 'GBG' (Great Britain - Guernsey), the island's international vehicle registration, is sometimes included. Some numbers beginning 0 and 00 have been released from 2012.

I did 2 years of music technology at college - and then ended up back in IT when I moved to Guernsey!

As S200MRJ said, Guernsey registrations are numeric and nearly all plates are now silver on black. There are registration number auctions twice a year and I was lucky that 62000 came up for sale just as I was getting the car. Someone else was bidding against me but fortunately they backed out just before I reached my own price limit. (I noticed an S2000 parked on the street outside the auction when I left so I guess that was the other bidder)

Now just waiting for 52000 to come up for sale!
