I spotted 00858 GP last night in Bethnall Green, London. It looked brilliant and I wondered if it belonged to anyone on here. I checked the list and said it was spotted in Romford Essex.

Cool! Loved it!

Today is a truly momentous day!

At a little before 1030 this morning, on the A419 heading away from Stonehouse towards Junction 13 of the M5, I saw a GP!

Miserable ignored us when we waved though!

Now, using our learned friend Mr Wiggis' calculations, I now have only to see a little under 61,000 other cars before I spot my next one!

Post any new ones you see (that aren't already on the list) as a new reply, and AprilWhine will update the list.

Spotted one as it blasted up the hill towards me, didn't get the number as he was giving it beans and I was having my own issues driving on the wrong side of the road

Location was Puerto Calero, Lanzarote a couple of weeks ago...nice car!

What new bits? I didn't buy any new bits...

I saw my first GP yesterday. It was at about 5.30pm at the Three Tuns junction in Slough, coming from the M4 direction and taking a right at the traffic lights towards the centre of Slough. I couldn't see the roof number but I think the reg was somehintg like HY56 and I think it had one or maybe 2 U's in the last bit of the reg.

Only if you weren't on the bonnet, covered in soap, a la the tuner magazine photo shoots.

Then it's a valid GP spotting.
