Autum photos

Post by Rachel » Mon Oct 11, 2010 12:21 pm

Hello all.

It's a gorgeous autum day here and so I took the oppurtunity to take some photos of the Celeb. Only had my iphone with me, so they're not the best quality, but the flame red against the red leaves looks great I thought!

I hope you like them :D

Anyone got any autum piccies to share??

Many Polish cars drive in my country but I have never seen one with a square front license plate.

You wrote, that you didn't saw any Polish car with square license plates on the front. The explanation is simple: Probably owners don't know, what is really good :wink:

But from the other side... real explanation is very simple: We have both set of plates. Two oblong, or one oblong and one square. Square license plates are usually for the rear bumper. My ES have european bumper, so it is impossible to mount the square number in this place. Square on the rear would be risky - plate far beyond the bumper.
