Only five and a half weeks left out of the nine week original wait and boy is it dragging. Can't wait to get my nice red shiny new i30ES.

Think I waited about 12 weeks for mine so I know where you are coming from.. (we will to keep you amused...) at least we know you have a sense of humour.. That helps..

Yeah not just a 59 plate but an i30 59 plate

Sadly I'll get the 09 plates, due to collect 28th August. The next 4 weeks will seem like 4 months.

I told my dealer i didn't want it before the 1st sep even if it was ready before then( i want that 59 plate)

Just make sure they don't register it during August...



For our non-UK members, our cars have registration plates that usually indicate when the car was registered. Generally, it's used like oneupmanship on the neighbours (well it is for me when I get my new cars )

Fergie was reg'd in March 2008 and has an "08" plate. September 2008 saw the "58" plates appear. March this year we got the "09"s appearing. In September Mr bulldog180 should get a "59" plate.

I like that about UK rego - wish they did it here, even though I tend to get personalised plates

I told them that i wanted a 59 plate so it should all be ok. If not you will see the air turn blue and are friends in oz will be able to hear me explaining the situation to the selesman

Being a tight-git Scottish person I on the other hand start haunting round the dealers the couple of months before the new plates come out, I can then pick up a pre-reg (one that they have put the old plates onto) for much bargainage cos they need to get them off the forecourt in order to bring in the new stock. 

I don't care about the age (you don't need to when you own the coolest and rarest car in the neighbourhood )

If you haven't asked already its worth asking your dealer in about 2 weeks time if you can see their list of allocated 59 registrations, so you can pick one. Obiously it will probably only be the numbers or a few letters that vary, but nice to pick all the same.

Means you can check you didn't get allocated a plate ending in COK or NOB too!
