I saw 2fast4you on a street legal drag car in the US

Spotted on the M4 a while ago en route back from Brechfa...

there's a big audi q7 or the like round stockport with the plate P7KEY

Near Scalby Mills in Scarborough there was an XR3i with the plate SPY1N. This was about 25 years ago mind.

PEN 15 : Used to be owned by the heir to Lancaster Garages. Says all you need to know both of the owner of that and personalised number plates in general IMHO

New favourite

The old classic

PEN 15 is Steve Parrish off the tele.

H1 MUM on a car on the M4 once, and N333 NAA on a car parked behind Trinity Road Police Station in Bristol.

I just change my name by deed poll to match my number plate.
It's the way to go I tell yea 😉

First owned as described above though, way back before it was a popular thing to do i.e. in the 70's

I don't see the point of private plates generally but why anyone would want AR51 OLE is beyond me.

There are one or two Clios round our way with CL10 plates

There's also a Maserati in brum with the reg FAT 91T and his mrs has got a merc with something to do with nagging on but I can't remember what now.

I've seen 2 Low 4 You (cant remember the exact letters) on some super slammed hot hatch (might have been a Civic but I cant remember)

Another one I used to see locally was MU5CLE, the guy driving the car was stacked!

I know a farmer who has Moo Cows on his number plate (or he did have)

Yeah thought that after I posted. Stavros has had it a while but I think he picked it up in the early to mid 90s, he was on old top gear with it. It's an old reg so someone must have had it before him.

Saw TOO 510W on a Porsche 911 that shot past me on the M40 once.

If him doing well over 100mph was "too slow" I dread to think what he considered fast!

Seen a Merc SLS AMG round here a couple of times with the reg plate DIM1

I saw GG W1N on a Bentley and we had GAY 69 on a Supra when I was painting cars.

There were a pair of his/hers cars near where I were a lad
10DUS (black porsche)
VEX15 (silver 3-series convertible)

Almost tasteful!

edit (looks better without the 'flag' on the number 1s)

[b]2 BAD[/b] - owned by someones dad at school.
[b]OR51 VET[/b] - [i]'orsey vet[/i] / [i]horsey vet[/i] - an equine vet in Somerset.
[b]5 NOW[/b] - [i]snow[/i] - on a battered Discovery in Les Gets about 10 years ago.

That doesn't work surely? M5SCLE or MU53CLE or sommat, but too many letters otherwise.

Isn't there a "murdered out" supercar kicking around with a derivative of satan or devil for the plate?
IIRC it looks brilliant 🙂

I sometimes see a Porsche on my way to work with the reg of MUS 1C.

A local in our village regularly changes his car but always retains the same reg plate - G166 LES. It's been several Porsche's, an Aston and a couple of Ferrari's (it's on one of them at the mo') in the last few years.

I have now seen two cars with the number plate 'B1G UFO' or something similar. first was a Lotus Esprit and more recently he has moved it to a Marcos Mantara.

used to be a Q7 round our way with [b]Y5 AVE[/b]

Probably get a ribbing for this but we have A816ALE for ABIGALE when she learns to drive. Its on her sisters car at the moment.

edit (looks better without the 'flag' on the number 1s)

Still don't get them.... please explain

On old Rav 4 round Sheffield had V14 GRA.

God knows why.

No, neither do I or some of the others. Plus the muscle one can't be right either.

Round my neck of the woods in That London there's these plates;
[img] [/img]

IIRC the Bentley plate is now on a rather naff Range Rover. Was on a Merc S Class for a while.

Do you abseil Tracey?

CFH - possibly the only classy use of personalised plates I've seen for a while.

It can be hard to choose which car to use each day.

That doesn't work surely? M5SCLE or MU53CLE or sommat, but too many letters otherwise.

Arse, too slow to edit, but even my own first suggestion doesn't work!

There's an R8 near me that's got something like J1NXD or J2NXD or something that just reads like "jinxed", don't get why you'd have it!

It can be hard to choose which car to use each day.

Not really. Only one of them is from Newport Pagnell. 🙂

Ok, it could have been M115CLE with a black screw between the the bottom of the two 1's

Does that work?>

Few years ago there was a Porsche (i think) with the reg H15 TOY round our way, driver was clearly having a midlife crisis.

Saw an old trail bike years ago with BAD80Y, and also heard of a vegtable wholesaler having POT80 on his Roller.

CFH, remember them on my old drive into the city (following the embankment route).

Edit...

I've seen
......2 Low 4 You
[s].....MU5CLE[/s]
....Moo Cows

Can't really see how [s]any[/s] [i]either[/i] of those could work ?

Gary - I see that Range Rover most days too, weird plate to have I agree

CFH - those are funny! I am still waiting to see a RR and a Freelander next to each other with "His XXX" and "Hers XXX."

Peter Alliss has PUT 3 or 3 PUT which given that was the reason he packed in as a pro shows some humour.

CUR 10 for an antiques dealer when I was a kid was not bad.

But cant see the point personally especially given the cost - a bit like a tatoo, dont you get tired of them after a while?

Think Moo Cows is MO0 6OWS

Edit - checked facebook, it's MOO 6OWS

Cant remember what 2 low 4 you was

2 LOW 4 U - would that work?

Many, many moons ago I was passed on the M4 by a car with the plate POR 928S. Ordinarily nothing distinctive except it was on a Porsche 928S.

And the second car I owned came with the number plate FAR 800T which I quite liked at the time. One way of reading it is with a Scottish accent. The other way was, apparently, more appropriate for me. 😯

vegtable wholesaler having POT80 on his Roller

VEG1 and VEG2 (retired family grocers) live around the corner from us. Nice cars but not ostentatious. Nissans IIRC

There's also G1 XER on a black pickup (Suzuki fan?) and TF05 TER rearranged to spell T FOSTER

Ok, it could have been M115CLE with a black screw between the the bottom of the two 1's

That works.

Think Moo Cows is MO0 6OWS

So does that. We're getting it now!

2 LOW 4 U - would that work?

Nope, that still doesn't.

V14GRA used to be on a Yaris Verso a few years back, not seen it on the Rav4. DEV1L is on a Diablo in or around Doncaster. SPL1F, on a Range Rover is owned by a non-enobled furniture retailer round here too.

My number plate is PJ13 FCU.

Nice

[i]also heard of a vegtable wholesaler having POT80 on his Roller.[/i]

Were they selling some sort of leaf 'veg'?

I'm Scottish and I don't get it.

When I worked in france about 10 years ago a guy who owned a rubbish collection firm booked out the whole hotel and flew his friends out for his 40th Birthday. His wife gave him a number plate that she found for £25k for his ferrari. I can't remember how it was set out but it spelt TOXIC.

Was pretty cool. He also received a signed, used, schumacher helmet, and a nose cone from one of Schumachers cars with the bottom signed by the drivers and loads of mechanics etc.

Bastard had too much money.

We had to work our asses off that week, extra services, dinner service that didn't finish until 23.30, perform some ****ing kareoke for them, basically just be performing monkeys for whatever whim they had.

We received a 20 euro tip each.

Rich stay richer!

Saw a Corvette a few years back with TE51CLE

And there's a Civic I keep seeing with H8 MTV. I'm not a fan of it either but don't think I'd pay money to advertise the fact on my car...

Couple from Stafford used to own B008 and 800B, when they divorced they argued over ownership, so the judge gave them 1 each.

The kicker individually they were worth approx £2k each as a pair of 8008's they were worth 30-40k, and this was 15-20 years ago....

I've seen VA91 NAL near where I live in Manchester. Perhaps he/she is a gynecologist?

[i]Bastard had too much money.[/i]

And that was from a 'rubbish collection firm' image how much he could have made if they were any good.

I used to own WLB 88S.

Completely unique, was on a car of the correct age (love when someone buys a new car then sticks a 1970's index plate on), didn't cost me a penny, and just as 'personalised' and 'private' as any other plate.

Still, a fool and their money...

....guy who owned a rubbish collection firm

He was Tony Soprano, and I claim my $5

My car came with N5 RYA - the previous owner was called Ryan and he was fed up with it. I have registered it with one of those number plate agencies but they have put it up for £750 which is probably a bit much really. Might just stick it on eBay - anyone know how much it costs to go back to an age related plate?

Gaz

found this in California a few years ago. took me a long while to figure out.

[img] ?1[/img]

[i]Completely unique[/i]

Kinda the point of a number plate really.

My dad certainly mentioned the POT 80 plate yonks ago.

Didn't Fiona Richmond (ggogle it) have FU 2?

I assume an opera singer, seen H1GH C on a otherwise nondescript Ford Fiesta round Edinburgh, and my daughter's music teacher has again hatchback, BR4HMS which I think rather nice..

Just yesterday on the A36 - sat behind the most convoluted 'name' I'd seen so far:

J411MESG

Which, by contrived use of a mis-aligned black screw-cap and some (un)clever spacing, produced J41•1MES G. Or "JAMES G".

It was on the back of tricked-out shiny f off Range Rover, which, going by the vinyl stickers badly applied to his rear window, belonged to some hardwood flooring installer.

Classy. Real classy.

I own SYS513R, makes me happy.

Favourite one I ever saw was a Fiat 500 Esseesse with 'V1BES'.

It's not the best number plate ever, but there's often an autobiography edition rangey parked in Winchester Sainsburys with the number plate "17".

I'm sure the plate is worth more than the car.

Bastard had too much money.

And that was from a 'rubbish collection firm' image how much he could have made if they were any good.

I was tempted to say garbage or refuse, but I didn't want to spoil your fun!

J411MESG

I saw Paul Daniels in a Ferrari which had MAG1C on it.

There's a battered Toyota in Stanmore, north London, which has [b]OPU 1M[/b] [i]opium[/i] (but spelt wrong) which I quite like.

And am I alone in being amazed that someone would buy this? Read the "17" as a "n" and you have a misspelt rude word...

NUD 2 T

on an old Merc in Marylebone

A good mate of mine has F18 NET on her MR2 and M15 BKR on her Yamaha something or other.

couple of good ones round my way

S9 LUT
EW D1C

also there a rather rich chap with his initials on EM 1 who supposedly kept on turning down ridiculous amounts of money for the plate for years from a certain music company.
wonder if he was a bit peeved off when they went bust?

Used to see some prannit driving a loud, purple Lamborghini Diablo up and down Green Lanes in London. The most appropriate number for the car must've been taken, as he had D1BLO - probably better not to have bothered at all. Oh look, here comes the Diblo.

I have NL11XXG 8)

I may be tricked by the passage of time but I have a distinct memory as a child (living on the estate of a catholic seminary) that the nuns had Morris Minor (in a sorta duck egg blue) with the reg V1RGN.

Also recall a motor with USA51S which for some reason as an 8 yo I thought was waaaay cool.... 😳

there are loads that i see but few that amuse 2 that i remember are
THE 911 on a 911! cant remember where and BOX 512 on a ferrarri 512? at silverstone unless i could find JAG 1 and could afford it for my clio dont think i could be that bothered TBH
