Aww, c'mon, it looks amazing when you're flying into Kastrup.
There's always someone on the plane who's never seen it before and you get to see their child-like wonder and then the penny drops.

I don't recognise that at all.
Could be selection bias but across the groups I work and socialise with, Russia is recognised as a threat to Europe and beyond. Lots of moaning about the reporting language describing something like that as an escalation.
Russia started a war, this is what they wanted.

What year is this they used photo from?
I love it because I love old cars and it's great to see a clean W124 and all of those Crown Vics but there must've been a more recent photo they could have used.

This is a bit shabby.
Is this human judgement or an AI issue?
I feel like a human would recognise that these changes have made it read less like your work.

Objectively, not expensive to fix. Time consuming, a pain in the arse. The dashboard warnings will be a huge annoyance.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir but this is a great archive.
Some of the details I remember from ye olde text site are there but I can't find the Elton John spec cars with wild colours explicitly listed.

There used to be incredibly detailed RR/Bentley build information online on some RR/Bentley enthusiast sites in the early 2000s.
That dataset showed some wild colour combos in the 80s, some details of mad interior options.
And it was the first place I read the name Bentley Dominator.

Let me just dust off my Tory Jesus meme collection.
I might add some festive elements because it's lined up so well with Christmas.

I do love this and I don't want to be a party pooper but why wouldn't they just use an Australian made Mini van for this?
I think they never made any Mini pickups in Australia but there was a modified Moke that was pretty much a Mini pickup.
And now there's this.

I can imagine how it would happen. I had an issue with a moped that they said couldn't be fixed so I just sent the same form five times (with five cheques) hoping that at least one of them was actioned.
Two of them were and I go two V5s.

There's a lot going on with the details but I suspect this is a legit South African built, 2000 T25 (they made them until 2002) that has ended up with an earlier body and LHD. DVLA records show it was first registered abroad when new in 2000 and then UK registered much later. Bigger engine, too.

You generally can't transfer a plate that would make a vehicle appear newer than it actually is.
But you also generally can't rule out anything when you're dealing with the DVLA.
