just wondering:
as far as I know, a q-plate signifies a "vehicles of indeterminite age" and/or a vehicle that was once declared a write-off? Does this have any bearing on things like insurance premiums or road tax? If the only difference is between having a Q on the plate or an age related letter with no other repurcussions etc, I personally wouldn't be bothered what plate I get as long as they decide it's good enough....
(p.s. buying my welder in 2 weeks when I get back from switzerland
