No Matt, mine is WPC***G.
I think I may have seen it the Netley Marsh autojumble (classic motorbike one, not car jumble) in the car park for sale. The one is saw was RD****G. I remeber that as my fist names are Robert David and my smoke blue 2-door is a G-reg. That was about half a year to a year ago. The same car? I was tempted to by it.

I know that the car went that way just before i bought it (he took it to the new forest) so it is posible, if it was before Oct 2003 - it must have been. How can i put a picture on here to show you waht it would have looked like??????

Hemel's okay, gone really down hill since the council decided to knock down the Pavilion and stop the Boxmoor Arts Center. Leisure World is still slowly slipping down the land-fill hill it was built upon up Jarman Park, and nearly everyone who lives there now is a townie. Apsley hasn't got affected much, except the double humpbacked bridges on that road by the Spotted Bull has now been made into a traffic light controlled single lane road (which causes more conjestion and is now not a sutable place to try out your brand new bump stops!)
