Well, it's the UK, why don't you have UK plates on your UK registered car?

Do you think it's cool to have French plates? You just look stupid.

LMAO!!! Very true, kind of asking for it. Every country is rascist

 

[Laura]

regardless of why i have french plates on my car, thats not the point of the thread, i have them because i like them, i dont care what people think its cool/notcool lol

 

[DamoWales]

I like them Taylor,

Never seemed to get any problems when my mate had them on his Saxo though...

 

[Josh220]

surely people would realise its a UK car when they see the english registration number though?

saying that, people can be dim lol

 

[Dash]

Did any of these people not wonder why your car isn't a LHD?

 

[Ibanezman]

Sounds a bit odd this French plate business

Pics ?

 

[Laura]

there are some pics on the forum somewhere,
well he was a massive meat head so maybe not the most bright chappy

The kind of person that pulls up to someone and calls them a frog for having french plates isn't usually of the observant variety

Unless she was driving like a granny

So all big guys are dumb? :nono:

 

[adrian182]

french arn't so perfect they drive on the wrong side of the road how dumb lol
if an english person went over to france it would happen to them

 

[darren_rallye]

I don't get abuse in my LHD. People sometimes hang onions around my car though?

Shut up mate. Lots of people have French plates, including me. They look a lot better than standard ones. Okay so they are not legal, so if we get pulled and fined we do deserve it but we do not deserve road rage and abuse so stop trying to act the biggun'!

Taylor, not had any problems with mine, had them about 6 weeks or something now. Always have people tail gaiting me though, it's a regular occurence.

 

[Revels]

Someone else on here has them, she just keeps getting pulled! lol

 

[Marky_]

I like the French plates.
The people thinking you're from France are idiots. Although to be fair when there is a foreign car around, i give them plenty of room cause they often don't have a clue :rasp:

Hes not trying to act the big gun just voicing an opinion, chill out you will give yourself high blood pressure

WHAT?!? Pics next time that happens.

 

[Steve2004]

No one likes the French though. For a start they built my car all sh***y. lol :dapprove:

You make me laugh.

 

[Graham Gooch]

Why would people fit something that is going to get them constantly pulled.

Is it the attention or stupidity?

Is the sake of fashion and style, really worth the aggro?

Perhaps it was your hairy armpits not the plate?

 

[EuroClio]

Haha mate know what you mean, I have french plates too and had a BMW driver undertake me up a sliproad... then at the traffic lights we stopped side by side and he sticks his head out the window "you wanna learn to f**king drive mate, don't they know how to drive where your from?" I'm like excuse me? Try not undertaking next time?? And anyways I'm english. And hes like, "Yeah? well you look like the f**king rest of them". I was like lmao. Giggled all the way home.

So he undertook you and then proceeded to tell you how to drive?

How Ironic lol.

 

[Da]

Personally I do not know Laura, but I fail to see why everything she posts on this forum results in some kind of personal attack.

Just my 2p worth anyway

Oh and as for the legalities of French plates, I wonder how many on here have a de cat or maybe LED sidelights...? The list is endless :rasp:

 

[Ben.]

lol @ calling you a frog!! i would have just laughed!

 

[EuroClio]

There are alot of angry people out there.

 

[Sarah]

plank, Canadians hate the French just as much as the rest of the world. Only Montreal and Quebec really show much love to Frenchies.

Unlucky Laura, hope you set him straight

 

[Ian_182]

Unless you crave attention

Plank?

Indeed Montreal and Quebec are primarily French communities but the rest of Canada has >23% of its population with French as there mother tongue, id say thats a significant amount. Anyway back to the topic.....

So true. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showpost.php?p=2931765&postcount=2

What you experienced was more xenophobia rather than racism.

 

[Reyes]

Where the hell are you from? Seeing a car with french plates is nothing new :S looks as if people have nothing better to do tbh
