You looked to be enjoying yourself and getting quicker

Always good when day goes well and car in one piece at end of it.

No doubt catch up again later in the year.

Might even take you up on that beer.

Cheers

Hi I am a newbie here.

Just agreed a price on my first Atom, a private sale it still needs to have the cherished plate removed....  so waiting......  probably not concluding the deal in time to have the car by Monday however would be interested to come along to Croft to watch and learn.

The previous owner can 'retain' his cherished plates online in 5 minutes

You then only need to get some new plates made up with either your own cherished plates or the original registration number

I would personally suggest that you go to a motorbike dealer to get the plates made up as they will usually have the correct sized rear plate in stock.

Finally Ensure that you cover the back of the rear plate with heat resistant/heat reflective tape otherwise the heat from the exhaust will rapidly degrade it!!

Thanks for the tips

Will contact the vendor to check his progress and will protect the right size option number plate as suggested.
