My money is on 8000 vehicles. There are only 20 more to go.

Dodgy Dealing. With the 'loss' of information in May 2006, was there some inside knowledge on this bet?

Who, me? Not me guv, I was just innocently trying to bump up the forum posting count (and encourage others to help do the same). Cheers!

Nearly there. With today's additions the vehicle record count goes to 7999 so I think this is a given!

We have a winner. Kudos to Alan H for reporting the vehicles that became the first 08 regs, and the 8000th vehicle added. Sightings put on a final spurt but managed to get only as far as 19418. But wait, I am forgetting that the database includes 329 placeholders (ie numbers that were not used). Which means there are currently 8007 vehicle 'records', but just 7678 actual vehicles listed. Come to think of it, a couple of vehicles are repeated, as in those that went from CDS to the bus companies. So... I'm going to bed!

So close... just one more.... The sightings count is now at 19,999. The person who submits the 20,000th sighting will win nothing at all. Cheers!

And the winner is... Alan!
