I'm on the forum for quite some time now and i see time after time some things appearing that sound like Y-reg or T/S-reg. What is the meaning of those terms?

N1,
just like in Holland, license plates come with the car (and stay with the car wink ) in the UK..
so the Y,T,R or whatever letter gives you an indication of the year the car is registered

I've no idea. I feel like a middle-aged member of this forum as opposed to an older forum member. I have been told I will find out "when I come of age"....still waiting..

It used to be very easy.
Once a year (used to be August) a new letter would come out (in alphabetical order!)
So registration T123 ABC would be older than V123 ABC etc.
So people would say "it's a V reg" or "it's on a V plate". Because the letter came out in August, you could have a car registered in July that was one letter, and one a month later with another letter...
Then "they" realised they were running out of letters, so they devised a new scheme. This works on numbers and is launched twice a year - March and September. March number started at 01, September at 51. We are now at 03 and 53....
:rolleyes:
I have missed loads out, but that's the basics!!!
