What else would you spend your city bonus on.? #We could basterdized this thread and turn it into the caption competition, Farage spends his bung wisely.
My friend's cousin had 105 EXY which read 10 SEXY but he was forever being stopped about the spacing at the time. In the end, he carried a letter from the DVLA confirming that the spacing was correct despite it being slightly altered.
i used to love reading people's adverts in exchange and mart and auto trader. The seller would show you the numbers and letters and then explain the word or words that it was supposed to say. you would never have guessed the word(s) half the time if they hadn't said. anything to try and get that ker-ching.
I remember Lee Evans saying he'd got a Percy plate - but he'd had to change his name to N640 SML.....
Best one I have seen in the UK was 32 DD. When I was a kid there was a farmer called Frank Arden in the area with FA 1 on his Roller, that was well before I had ever heard the F word. In New Zealand I have seen quite a few, my mate had DESM0 on his bike, also seen SLAP ED, and AW0L which was on a Willys Jeep. The one that made me laugh the most was EIEIO.
I've got J H08NOB on my GSA ............................... and BC62DOG on my car. And .. Just for good measure ...'JEHOVAH'.. So let the stoning begin
I have private plates on all my vehicles, it’s much easier to remember when you change. Even on my Range Rover, which has a variant on YMFB
This one was on the above car that i used at the time, and yes it was sold to a Porsche owner in the end. As for the car it was never the same after i drove it.
Locally I have actually seen this on a convertible Aston. 007 It made the news, sold locally at auction for £250,000 a few years ago. Lots of really nice numbers, they come up for auction every six months or so and occasionally a really nice one will come up I have seen: 911 on a Porsche 911 (some kind of GT3 with internal roll bars ?) 458 on a Ferrari 458 Italia 1 The Bailiff's car I have seen recently on cars. My mate's mum used to own number 10 3 5 10 20 I have owned 3838 (came on the bike new) and 44556 (car reg bought from a mate's girlfriend for £50 !)
If you’re lucky you can bag a plate with the car. And the plate can be worth far more than the car itself. Sometimes old biddys flog Albert’s old car that’s been in a barn for the last 60 years without realising the plate is worth loads. Regtransfers and such like are always on the lookout for such ‘deals’ My mate has a shed of a motor worth about £50 but the reg is AMG ***.
I get to Malta a fair bit. The bishops car has no numbers or letters, just a bishops mitre on the plate.
