As the title says has anyone spotted a new 161 car yet?

If so what make and model was it?

I drive a good bit for work but I've yet to spot one but I'd say I will by the end of the week.

Just interested in the make or model to see what is popular for 2016 and if the Volkswagen scandal will have any impact on their new car sales.

I wish they'd drop the 1 and 2 thing now. I can understand why they had to do it in 2013 but why didn't they revert back to the norm in 2014?

I have no idea what you mean. Seriously.

A friend called with his new 161 Yesterday. What football friend? I have no football friend. I don't even like football. What are you on about?

You're not aggressive enough to be into football.

Completely agree (but I know SIMI will never let it happen). Our license plate numbering system was one thing that this country did really well. A simple, straightforward, quite elegant solution. And then they ballsed it up with ugliness
