Not expecting an avalanche in the early days, but yes its new reg time so here's a thread open for one month for your spotting of the new reg.

While we wait for a some spottings of a 24 Reg. I did have a wonder what "transport" was like back in 1924.

Well its the sort of thing the Evening Chronicle/Newcastle Journal with its long history do well.

I found this image fascinating. The caption reads...

The Bernicia at Newcastle Quayside ready to sail Newcastle United fans to Wembley in 1924 for the FA Cup final against Aston Villa

That must have a story on its own, and a joyous return journey as the match turned out

50 miles on the bike and 120 miles in the car so far in March, and not knowingly seen one!

Saw one last night, leaving Salcey Forest.. A big black electric thing Looked like an SUV... My dashcam will have captured it...

[NewcastleFalcon]

That's going to be the first Jim, extra kudos for an image though

I watched out all day for the last few days and saw not one, although I might have missed one because I was too focussed on the green end on the number plate of BT Openreach van coming toward me.

I always forget to look, except quite rarely.
Poor observational skills

I will in a bit Neil, I may also have a good POTD contender on there too... Depends on lighting and angles...

Saw 3 today, a pair of KIA's emerging/ turning into a KIA dealer, and an on the road spot of a Puma.

First thing I noticed about the Puma was how pathetically small the rear indicators are, and how they are completely surrounded by the red brake lights. So much so that when braking and indicating, the tiny amber light loses all of its amber-y-ness and is cast in red light from the brakes.

Saw a Toyota Aygo (probably) today.

Just been cut up by a 24 reg BMW in Carmarthen! Apparently speed limits, lane markings and even traffic lights don't apply to BMW's. ( And I thought that was only on the M25.) The thought "drive it like you stole it" briefly came to mind, but then just maybe............

[NewcastleFalcon]

Still waiting for the first original image of a 24 reg. I saw another 24 today...a green flash I do believe but no image and only a fleeting glimpse as it sped past.

My first one on the school run today:

Nice colour too!

I had to pass through this car park and remembered to look for them.
Saw this

Then in another car park (Home Bargains) saw a Skoda '24' and wondered what it was looking for after all.
I can never get the hang of 'new' plates. Can't remember what year mine is (YD61SMO) and if it weren't parked outside wouldn't even know what it was.
