[Closed] funny/wacky/ironic car number plates

Used to be one round my way when I was a kid "H8 PIN" which looked like HOP IN - ultimately it was deemed "not cool" as we decided it defo belonged to a kiddie fiddler.

P 15 SED on a Porsche

Ooh... are we doing that one again?

Not funny but cool. An old Skyline with DI5 SCO

Thought it looked ace.

Used to regularly see a Honda S2000 with a personalised plate that was "something S200". He didn't seem to bothered that his personalised plate didn't have enough zero's.

A mate of mine used to manage a betting shop. He always had a quirky taste in cars and at the time was driving an old Lotus Esprit in white - his number plate read 'big odds' (B19 0DD5 - or something like that).

One of my old bosses (a real flash dick) has got a personalised plate that almost spells his name - but not quite. What is the point?

Bright yellow Corvette on the M25 years ago with BL03 JOB.

I assume the car was super charged as it wasn't swerving about.

We have a couple of football casuals in the office that have bought personal number plates with their 3 initials in the letters and just random numbers. C****s.

Used to see a guy come into the quarry who bred rare pigs (For meat) with the plate P16 LUV (Pig Love)
And years ago I used to regularly see a Merc SL convertible driven by a rather busty lady with the plate BRA 32G 🙂

Also, recently: 😆

A lad i went to school with had J869 CUM

Quite often see a gold range rover around the southside of Glasgow with AR51 OLE

Just googled it

Chap in a Beemer on the M27 with a number late KI55 MEN.

Brother of a friend of ours has a nice blue TVR Tuscan with the numberplate W33 NOB

Edit: found it on Google:

Suitably parked too.

Pet hate. I can just about tolerate something that refers to the make or model of car, but spelling your name out in text speak nonsense is tragic.

It's particularly annoying to when you have to try and figure out what the **** someone's expensive "vanity plate" actually means. I got stuck behind an A3 on the motorway and the plate read something like [b]BL04 J03[/b]. I'm sure the guy driving was trying to send out a message other than "I fellate men" but I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was.

I used to see one near me - might have been an M3 or M5 - L5 UTD - LS = postcode for Leeds...

A scrap dealer were I used to live had M3TAL, with a slightly squared of 3.

Quite a flash motor in Belgravia my colleague spotted with BR05 HOE - "bros before hoes" he pointed out to me

A guy near me got landmined in Afghanistan.

His Golf has the reg LO57 LEG

Recently I have seen a McLaren with U L05T and a Merc with WHY 570P (it read as why stop), which both made me go "oh" and nod slightly.

I put **'5 8ABY on my wifes Fiat 500. Cost very little and looks like my wifes initials BABY.

Some may hate it. Some may like it. TBH I don't care but it usually gets some appreciation from people following or walking past. All friendly and seems like a suitable number for a small quirky car.

My father in law got in very early and has W 8ONE. His name is William Bone. Think it cost him £300

Pet hate. I can just about tolerate something that refers to the make or model of car, but spelling your name out in text speak nonsense is tragic.

Agreed, though not so much a pet hate, more contempt, or at best; pity.

There really is nothing quite so tragic, so deeply, deeply uncool as personalised number-plates. For some reason I always think of an ageing, balding Alan Partridge type character with status anxiety. I'm not sure why females do it? Perhaps they think it's 'funny' and is a natural progression from 'Diva on Board' headlight eyelashes etc...

For balance, I love em. amazed people get so wound up by it

If it'sworth doing it's worth doing properly.

B1KER on a baby blue Rolls Royce convertible.

Chap near me has GR05 CON

I do so hope he takes it to France.

i'll put my hand up and say thta i've got a personalised plate....

MTB 8055

wanted MTB 1, but it was gone.

this being Germany very few people have picked up on what it means. a few riding buddies have picked up on the MTB bit, but only one, has clocked on to the 8055 part. he however ddin't get the MTB bit. 😐

cost me 12€ 8)

Once in London spotted a [s]murdered out [/s] black Merc driven by a bearded man with J1HAD 😯

There's a Merc round my way, driven by a woman and it's *** WET. I always thought 'OK', then recently found out she's partial to appearing in home made grot and having it posted on the tinterweb. Seems more apt now

Suitably parked too.

There's a village near me called Rhu. Its quite an affluent area and the amount of cars about with RHU in the registration must mean folk are quite pleased to live there. Tossers.

Best one I have seen, and it is very local to Sheffield, is R8 GUD on a Volvo.

I've also seen CUJ 1M in Sheffield.

DI M 1
on a merc sls around here

Whilst living in US;

WOT HO on an old Brit sports car
QUICK AG on a silver Saab
AG BULLET on silver Porsche
(Think periodic table)
URNVS on a Porsche open top driven by blonde sorority girl
FATTIRE on a big wheeled 4x4 at an MTB race.

Most if trying to say anything look absolutely w4nk (see what I did there?) generally ok if just hiding the age of a car with initials etc.

2 that I whole heartedly approved of are:

T8 TOES - on a local farmer's Range Rover
D4RTH - on an all in black Mclaren F1 spotted at Spa a year or two back.

His Golf has the reg LO57 LEG

Err, no. That reg belongs to a Ducati Diavel.

B1KER on a baby blue Rolls Royce convertible.

Audi Q7...

These amused me:

There is a guy in london with 2 cars, with complementary number plates.

Car number one is a sports car - number plate 2B

Car number two is a small hatchback - number plate NOT 2B

I wonder what question he asks himself daily?

Lotus Esprit near me.

AIM L0

Two local butchers - M1NCE and G1GOTS. Loving the butcher chat. Used to work in the same building as a tw4t of a lawyer ... SUE 1M.

When I've got some spare cash I'm getting OMG, WTF, LOL or similar.

A mate has his initials, part of me likes it, part thinks its naff.

A good number of these just don't work (admittedly I'm assuming UK, alpin aside), as is always the way on these threads...

Couple of mature unassuming middle age ladies driving a beige VW Caravelle

I thought they were sisters

As they drove away I saw the plate......H8 COX

Bloke in my old village had PEN 15 on a Black BMW convertible years ago - suited him

Anyone around Brighton see Dave Day in his new Bentley - it has the most amazing paint job and MR LION plate which he keep getting fines for as he has obviously moved the L to the right

I wonder what question he asks himself daily?

Probably, "Why, oh why did I sell the Vanquish?"

Spotted this on the M4 en route to Afan one day.

Just remembered a Megane Sport used to come past me on the A1 with the number plate VAA V44, might have been the other way round but linked in well with the vaa vaa voom advertising.
