Why won't you answer the question about PikeyVanMan?

Actually, I'm British. You didn't pick up on that? No wonder you're
confused.

It's been covered off several times now.

Sorry, but you appear to be posting with all the intelligence of a
Merkin, so it's no wonder you've been mistaken for one.

Ahh, Merkin IP. You appear to have 'gone native'.

I can do one better. I can put you in my killfile and write you off as a
moron who doesn't know that American cars in America fall into a category
called "model year". See - problem solved. Don't forget to get in the
last word - don't let my not being able to see it slow you down in the
least.

'La, la, la, I'm not listening'

Bury your head in the sand, that's the usual Yank way of dealing with
stuff they don't understand or agree with.

Um - everybody who's been arguing with you knows that. Seems like you still
don't understand the point being made.

There goes a very sore loser...

He says you never use the year for anything, just the model/mark
designation. He's correct? One of you is wrong, why won't you tell
us? It would probably clear up a lot of the confusion.

We use a 'year of registration' - any other detail is covered by model /
mark designations.

So he's wrong then? I think we're getting somewhere now.

All that remains now is to clear up the confusion of what year you'd
ascribe to a car that was several years old before it was first
registered on a current plate.

Let's use 1995 and 2005 as examples. If you were to use a year to
refer to that car, what would it be.

No obfuscation now, just a straight answer please.

Something like MkV Escort, registered 2005.
