Fynevue Chronicles

The Double Os

The new Millennium brought many changes to Fynevue, not least the Unicorn Day 17th August 2000 

Some of my favourite Double O songs

This isn't a comprehensive list, simply some of the more memorable. The Wheels on the Bus by Mad Donna is a very good 'take off' of 'Ray of Light' by Madonna.

UK Car Registrations

Prefix marks were first used in 1983

Eg  W  670 FPU

Prefix	W	X	Y	Z
From Date	Mar 2000	Sep 2000	Mar 2001	Not used

The Q prefix has been used since August 1983 for vehicles of indeterminable age.

From 1st September 2001, a completely new scheme, using numbers for the year indicator, was introduced. By using 2 registration marks per year, it was hoped to even out the peak in the demand for new car. The first letter is the new area identifier. 

Eg  EU 01 CDE

Mark	01	02	03	04	05	06	07	08	09
From Date	Not used	Mar 2002	Mar 2003	Mar 2004	Mar 2005	Mar 2006	Mar 2007	Mar 2008	Mar 2009
