Yeah i had it all planned out if it died on the way to the new car i was gonna have the Aa take us to the new car and scrap it in hull but it just kept on plodding although the oil light was coming ongoing round bends towards the end of the trip and it was using about 20% more fuel

FT we don't think of Japanese as Asians(although they obviously are) these and the Chinese are usually referred to as being slitty eyed..
Our Asians come mainly from the areas around India, just to clear up any confusion;)

Aerial roof markings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vehicle Usage Markings
On a typical vehicle roof layout, the Vehicle Usage Marking is preceded by the accord and integer PNC Force Identifier; the individual (and within each organisation, unique) Vehicle Identifier, commonly alphanumeric, should occupy a second line all by itself.

Have a shufty at the Wiki link - 'tis cool ;)
 
damn interestin read them links nice one but it doesnt appear to be anything official like that it seems to be something like sub official like a quarry explosives vehicle or boat yard shunter or launcher could even be a mining personell vehicle of some sort

Does that thought pattern, not make most of the USA Slitty then??? As China has a controlling stake in the US's economy..

You are wrong there again please prove your self instead of spouting ****. You the EU do more trading with china than we do,and Britain is part of the EU.

And look into how many American company's operate in your country and the amount of people they employ and amount of taxes american company's pay. Did you know that 55% of your insurance companys are foreign owned.And the US own 40% of insurance companys in Britland
