Sprite shite

[andrew e]

Anybody who has visted some kind of show in Essex for the last 20 years will have seen these beasts (I'm sure they have a few) in the flesh, but they are premier league shite!

 

 

Sublime to the ridculous...

I remember one of those 'public address systems' being used at my primary school sports day, i was aged 7 or so. I seem to remember it was towed by an elderly landrover.

[Spottedlaurel]

I recall them too, think they did (still do?) the PA at the Hadleigh Show. That's Hadleigh in Suffolk BTW.

Never understood why anyone would fit Northern Ireland plates to a car of that age.

[Milford Cubicle]

Maybe it's an original NI car.

[mk2_craig]

Maybe - that's a recent issue though!

[Ross_K]

That number's a fairly recent issue - it'd maybe set you back £300-400.Council estate personal plate for sure...

[garycox]

I thought you couldn't put a more recent plate on an older car?

[Cavcraft]

If it has a year letter you can't Gary but the N.Irish plates are 'dateless' so even recently issued ones can be ised on vehicles regardless of age.

[garycox]

Oh OK I didn't know that, thanks!

[Volksy]

maybe i'm being blond, but if their dateless, how do you know their recent issue??

[mk2_craig]

I don't know whether a definitive list of what was issued when exists out there, but as usual Wikipedia's got something to say on the subject (take with the usual dose of salt). I remember MUI marks being sold in the back of Autotrader a few years back for £69 a pop and as such loads found their way onto chavved Novas, etc.
