[#5506944]

Saw a gold range rover in front of me last night with number plate [b]AR51 OLE[/b].

Private plate?

edit: just googled it [img]<img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5301/5640952289_197ff030a7.jpg" width="500" height="281" alt="AR51 OLE">[/img]

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

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.

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!

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)

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.

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;

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

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.

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!

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?>
