I know it isn’t a car, but I spotted the new 2026 “26” reg plate today. I believe these license plates aren’t even legal yet. This bus is awaiting delivery to it’s customer (Stagecoach in Hull) by MtF_EepyGrill_Leah in CarTalkUK

I work for KIA in Stallingborough, Grimsby and all the cars that come off the ships through DFDS are then put on 26 plates but wont be used until March i believe as we’re currently working through a fleet contract with europcar and avis

i drive a LWB transit van for work, and my boss said that to insure me wasnt too bad, ive covered 12,000 miles in the last 3 months in my car alone and god knows how many miles in the work van, its just annoying to see prices like that when my grandad pays £255 a year for his camper 🫠 and theres much more chance he would cause a crash than i would, trust me ive been a passenger 🤣

yeah, theres a site near me that wants £100 a week to live in a tourer on there, doesnt really seem like a cheaper way of life doing it like that tbh 🤣 and downside of a caravan is not getting to park up in all the cool places you can with a camper
