    I beg to differ - best in that type is Nick Mason's Ferrari 250 GTO with the reg 250GTO.

    I worked in the stores of a rather upmarket dealers garage for a while. There was a Lamborghini Diablo in and the reg read DIABLO, even from close up. When booking parts to a job I could search by the reg no. Turned out the actual reg was D14SLO. The ends of the s were extended right down so there was a gap about a hairs breadth wide and the 4 really looked like an A as bits had been added to it.
    Completely illegal, the twunt that owned it could obviously afford to keep paying the fines. I thought they confiscated the plates after repeated infringements.
    I reckon most of the cars in there were funded by meand that were not always fully declared to the revenue.

    I can't beliveve I'd forgotten my physiotherapists registration plate.

    She's a little oldish lady and drives a Japanese import Toyota Supra 3 litre turbo. All max-powered up, tinted windows, fat exhaust, roll cage, the lot. She said it runs about 400bhp.

    The registration is PHY 510 S

    Brilliant!

    I saw a DJ with the reg M1 XER once. Pity the DJ couldn't even mix a metaphor.

    If you go to the AskMID website you can put in a number plate and it will tell you if it's insured and what the car is.

    Looks like Paul Daniels has an Isuzu Trooper now. I am of course Paul Daniels as you have to tick the box to say you own the car.

    Edit: M1XER is off the road and your physio drives a Honda CR-V now. I am still of course Paul Daniels, but I do some physio and mixing on the side, magic not paying so well these days.

    That plate really belongs on a Golf with a Honda VTEC engine* in it.
    No-one else get that? Just me then.

    I'll get my coat.

    *The original Honda 1.6l 16v VTEC was called a B16. The 1.8 was B18, the 2.0 was B20 etc

    Haha - amazingly the car type registered with the DVLA is:

    Vehicle Make: VOLKSWAGENGOLF MK3 TWIN VR6
    Model: TURBO

    How is this a DVLA recognised type and model?

    Any Mini fans will probably know Mike Coopers (John Coopers son) H15 FUN. Really nice car too. Mini's also had P111OAW and N111OAW.

    Seen today - K9 POO

    Who in the hell pays good money to buy a plate that says DOG SH!T? :shock:
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    A chap called Tim Dutton (who blew the family fortune of Dutton Forshaw & now makes amphibious cars in Littlehampton....oh how I laughed :D !!...that is the funny bit) had a Porche 928 in the 80's with the plate....T00 510W....a couple of craftly bolts and it read T00 SL0W.

    not funny....but not bad.

    Makes you wonder whether some of these plates are intended to describe the driver or the reader.

    Saw BE56OKE this morning. (Bespoke?) I thought it was ironic as it was clearly not a bespoke plate.

    :-D I suspected this may happen......

    FWIW the level of cnuty-ness is directly related to the price....and as we all know cyclists make perfect drivers regardless of vehicle :-)
