Update on the plates. I left the house 2 hours after the plod left my doorstep to drive to Exeter on business and didn't get out of Kent before i was pulled over and given fixed notice for the plate. I was gutted as the one that came to my house said i had a week and the other gave me no opportunity. The copper also said that they had taken apic of the plate and will send it to the DVLA and i will probably be told that a new registration will be issued to me meaning i have to re-register the car, change my insurance and re MOT the car.
NICE!
