Congrats on the purchase Matt.

 

I think stu's been hunting for his plate since before he even sold the car originally!

Welcome buddy!!!

Hi Matt,

 

Yeah I didn't even bother mentioning it to you.

It was a condition of the sale that I get the plate back as the guy I sold it to wanted it the day we got it mapped. So I sold it to him and he promised to get the plate back to me as soon as he got a new one - never happened.

 

Next this was sold onto a forum member here who I knen. I did ask him about it and he agreed he would give it back also but then sold it before that day came.

 

Then it went to another forum member. I did mention it at the start but if I'm honest it had now got to the point where it would have just been a pure kindness of the heart sort of thing. Anyway he offered it back to me for around £500. Out of priciple I didn't buy it back.

 

Now it's on to you. It's been threw a few people now and if I'm really honest about it. I'm no longer fussed about getting it back for 2 reasons:

1) The plate act's as my signature. I built the car from standard and have signed it in way of the license plate on the fron tnad back as well as the paper work. As long as the plates on there the work I've done on the car will be remembered.

2) Me and the missus, now have his and hers private plates on my M5 Beema and her 230k convertible Merc (sad but true).

 

Good luck with the ownership mate. Not sure what the oil leak is but hope it's not a big issue and you get it sorted quick. I suspect someones tried to fit a sensor for the after market gauge and failed :D. Unless it's damage or gasket related.

 

Stu
