Sorry yes it means 2004.

It actually means it was reg between Mar - Sept 2004.  After sept its prefix would be  '54'

Before March in that year it would be plated '53'

It was hit by a lampost.  It is bent.  Not sure if it is a write off.  It was not insured which is why it is in my garden and not being fixed at the garage.

It was a nice car :-[   I will get a pic of it tomorrow when it is daylight and then people might say  "you are lucky to walk away from that one"  and i might actually FEEL LUCKY,  lol  at the moment i don't feel at all lucky. :'(

I believe write off is the correct term.

Yes, as it is written off as not worthy to drive any more.

Here in Australia I think, a car gets a red sticker and a form filled out so that it is physically "written off".

I have not hear the tarmac expression before!

Oh it is probably the same here.  I don't think i have ever officially written one off.

Just the expression made me think of  'off the tarmac' which is where i personally collect dead cars.   A few are also what are called  'SORN'  which means it is not road worthy and without tax and MOT but can be kept on private land,  which is where mine are.

Yes the more i look at it,  normal people do 'write off' their cars.  I love the English language.

 I keep reading this title as  "How many CATS have you owned?"

i belive that expression comes from a TAX write-off. ie if you donate it, you can get a tax write-off for the loss.

Donate it? Why donate something that is physically not driveable? Those cars end up on the scrapheap. I remember GA telling me about a van that her dad drove that had tipped over in an accident. Not much looked wrong with it but the chassis was bent so it was no longer driveable.
