Yes, but you don't usually get a new PIN with a new card.

Not much to report on the Xantia front except for a trip to the beach on Friday evening, a darn good wash & wax Saturday evening and a trip to Smallwood vintage rally on Sunday (albeit sadly parked amongst the general modern stuff in the public car park). Got some new registration plates made up while we were there. Not strictly legal with the Euro stars & French 'F' at one end and the lettering in Irish font as that looks closer to French IMO. Will look tidier than whats on there though.

The fine is potentially big and the DVLA can recall the plate if you get a fine.
It's worst cased but I think I'd get some nice legal ones and use the current naughty ones at shows etc.

Agreed! But some Plod are... And can be very pedantic...van ordinaire wrote:it would be a very bored plod indeed who took exception to a plate that made no attempt to alter how it read.
Are you sure that calling one black and the other white wont upset the politically correct brigade [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]ekjdm14 wrote:Right, so... Assuming all goes well I can stop my positive-minded worrying in a couple of hours and maybe even manage to post some pics of black & white parked next to one another.
I'm not really one to give names to cars, so Black & White will likely be as personal as their monochromatic monikers get, but I suppose they could collectively be known as "the minstrels" political correctness aside!
How is it that a grown man can be so excited for the arrival of a 20 year old car with engine problems? I dare say I wouldn't be so on edge were it not an HPN Citroen...
