 New definition of 'supercar' - Focusless

I think my 2.0 Focus is supposed to do about 125, yet Mrs F calls it 'an old man's car'. Well I'm going to have to set her straight... :)

Looks like a case of 'I'm too self-important to fit a front number-plate'.

That will do 125mph easily.
Tops out somewhere over 200mph......

I see someone has actually done some research now - headline did say 125mph, now says 205mph.

Actually it's a case of "I can afford to pay the fine..." £30 IMHO and no points.

It's not obvious where you'd put it though, not without blocking that air vent anyway.

He did well parallel parking something with basically zero visibility without kerbing the alloys.

True, but there is not even an attempt. While it too would be illegal, a stick on one could be placed on the bonnet, or perhaps a small one might even be legal (there are exemptions).

Hologram, positioned a few inches in front of the car. No more damaged or obscured number plates, invisible to radar.
