    The van is priceless! :lol:

    The Merc is tragic :)
  • best I've seen was a TVR with the reg - RAP1D

    Father in law bought us this, (guess what our names are)

    ANT

    It's on retention at the moment, think I need a campervan to put it on or something with square plates! Although I'm quite happy to keep it on a piece of paper!
  • Personalised number plates are gay. Unless they are funny. Like the all time classic PEN15 and 0RG45M. Other than that, they are pointless.

    I have to disagree. Personalised plates serve a very good purpose, they're an easy way to identify spacktards.
    Even the examples you cite aren't funny, in any way. They don't even spell words. If you want to get a plate with your initials on it - fine. I'll mark you down as a fool, and it just makes you easier to remember when you drive badly. If you're the sort of idiot who has to try to use numbers to help spell a word, then it's easier for someone to remember your numberplate and thus find out where you live, come to your house at night, screw the windows and doors shut and burn your house down whilst you and your idiotic family sleep.

    :roll: PMT?

    ORG45M is round here, on a black Range Rover. There's also J1NXD, which is not only crap, but why would you want a registration number suggesting you're jinxed!?

    F15T RAL doesn't work, too many letters, must be F157RAL or F15TRL.

    WH0 5HAT is great!

  • well what's funny about that?
    I mean, at least it should have a question mark at the end, as it sounds a little like a question.

    Nothing massively funny about it, but if i were following that, it would raise a smile.

    Do you have any sense of humour?

  • plenty, thanks. Just pointing out that you have to be a bit of an idiot to pretend that a number is a letter.
    Let's look at it in reverse. Say your mother were to be working down Manchester docks, and accepting payment by cheque. Were I to give her a cheque for 'F pounds' instead of a five pound note, would she be able to cash it?

    Ok then, so we are all idiots. It must be so frustrating for you to live in a society where numbers are used as letters.

    For the record, i don't use numbers in that way. I would also never own a personalised number plate.

    As for the mother comment, pfft. Is that the best that you can do?

    Well locally there's

    ES56 BOY and ES56 GRL on matching M3s. BO08 JOB on a Merc, but my favourite for personal reasons is 1AN on an ancient Morris.

    Oh and forgot NEME 515 that my dads boss had on a lambo years ago.
    Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

    Who are you calling inbred?

    Unless you're called something like Mark Smith, and then walk out of M&S thinking you've got a personalised shirt...there are no personalised plates regardless of what the DVLA say (unless you have an alternative definition of personalised). Hey wait, my MTB is personalised, it has a serial number unlike any other...so now it's worth thousands right?

    But the best dumberplates by far are where the owner has a very expensive classy car (say AMG Merc, or an Aston we saw recently), and then they advertise OIK loudly by putting their illegally spaced almost makes a word if your squint plate on...priceless. :roll:

    And any plate (that someone has paid for) with an age identifying prefix or suffix...well that's just sad. :shock:

    ah, it was just an example. I could have used anything really, but we were on a LCD conversation to start with ;)

    All my work trucks have personal plates on for the exact purpose of differentiating them from each other ( and so the bleary eyed workers get in the right one ! :lol: )

    We changed the reg plate on one of our cars a few years back after the plate got cloned. Less hassle than getting congestion and parking fines for a car that'd never been to london every other day.

    Seen 3 vehicles with URS 3X, all owned at different times by an adult film producer based in Brighton and been in his jag with the plate on it. At one point the Madison rep for this neck of the woods had an A3 with A3 XTR.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
  • I think this is probably the only registration that's ever made me chuckle.

    Apparently they're owned by a guy somewhere in Chelsea!
