[Closed] Personalized registrations

Saw this a couple of months ago driven by an old dear...

Odd.

Used to see K9 P00 near Glasgow pretty regularly.

Had Bradley bought W166OLD yet? The other is too obvious

Old boss had GO 1
I know someone with FAG 1

I dont think this is a personal plate but I found it funny.

This car didnt hang around too long before being replaced....

Awkward.

Yesterday saw one of those Maserati Gran Coupes (i think they're called).

The plate was N11 TAX with a suitably placed yellow dot on the second 1 to make it an i.

Nil TAX...

Either an accountant or someone with a good accountant! Pretty vulgar, anyhow. Car was lovely though.

Worst plates are the ones that aren't obvious & it takes the owner 5 mins to explain the relevance & convince you that it really does say something that it doesn't. That, or peoples initials with a load of random stuff on the plate too; P56 RH - yes, I know your name is Richard Head, but what relevance does the other bit have? Erm, nothing.....but it's got my initials.....

T1NSY

& yes I did, the missus has T111NSY, I regret not getting T11NSY as well.

A few nice ones round Surrey unsurprisingly. I saw an Aston DB7 a couple of years back with the plate 'DB7'. I couldn't help thinking how much Mr Beckham might have already offered the owner.

Saw two ladies in a 911 with the plate MUF 1.

The worse is a Volvo XC90 that has the plate A 19O XC. Every penny was wasted on that I fear...

in London, saw VIP 1 on a Range Rover in Park Lane and MUS1C on a Roller on the Strand.

There's someone here at work that has 'B15 DYX', and in small print underneath 'How big's yours ?'.
I mean, seriously, what a complete TO55SER.

Orange Crush.
Saw that years ago in the Birmingham NEC carpark on a Ford Granada (when they were prety cool). Im sure it also had an 'A' before it.
I little old boy and his wife got out.
Thinking back she did have a funny walk 😛

Despite my user name and living in Essex...

I do NOT have a personalized plate.

(sadly both of my parents do 😳 )

Many yars ago I saw a Ferrari with the number plate BEG 41T which I saw about 10 yrs later on a Range Rover. Looked a lot better on the Ferrari.

I should also confess that my wife gave me a personalised plate for my 40th this year, V40 MTB. vague enough to only be regcognisable by those who "in the know" plus cheap enough not be affordable.

Saw L1NUX on the back of a 3-series beemer parked outside Rackspace (Heathrow).

Ultimate geek plate!

There's one a few doors down, used to be on a big black Bentley and now on some chelsea tractor or other, X5 I think, all chrome and black and blacked out windows. The plate reads W3 EED. Can't imagine how they made their money.

Best one I ever saw was on one of those MG-branded Rover hot-hatch things a few years ago (ZR?), British Racing Green with a nasty orange grill. Plate was KN03 HED.

I have a plate on my new car that was the very first car I ever owned (it happened to be an Alfa GT Junior) I've kept that plate ever since (20years) and this is the first car I've put it (back) onto..
I rather like it. Doesn't mean much to anyone else except me and my memories and doesn't say/read anything either.

Saw Paul Daniels driving his gold rolls royce on the M25 with MAG1C number plate. Attention seeking shortarse!

There's a motorbike round our way with H1 BYE but my favourite recently was a Pug Estate with VA61 NAL on it - the Mrs nearly wet herself.

If you see any numbers plates in the Bristol area with GAS as part of the plate they are as likely to be Bristol Rovers fans as gas fitters as the club nickname is gas heads

I spotted a Boxter with lady driver, number was:-
SH4 VES

There was a BMW I used to see kicking about with R8DGY as the number plate which I thought was quite amusing!

My name is Andy from Essex and I'm afraid I was given a private plate for my birthday one year. Serves me right for not having any idea what to ask for. i now have to live with it for life so as not to offend. *i am not in the picture

Do people call you 'Endy' or something?

No, Randy now.

Reendy? 😉

That reminds me ORV 1L - Keith Harris on his Merc.

Followed him to the Chippy a couple of months ago.

R33NDY - LOL number plate fail!

Perfect example of why they look shite 95% of the time...

The Madison (Shimano) rep for our area used to have an A4 with A4 XTR.

Seen in Portsmouth: SN11PER on a white Audi. Wonder if advertising his profession was the best idea

Place - London
Car - Porsche 911
Plate - [b]4 COF [/b]

Unless the meaning of 'personalised' has changed, most of the plates shown are not personalised in any way shape of form. They are standard issue zero intrinsic value plates that happens, by complete coincidence, to apparently mean something to someone who is, for some unfathomable to me reason, willing to pay hard earned cash for the right to display them. The DVLA are happy to perpetuate this personalised plate myth, and even sell plates that only make words once miss-spaced, which is of course illegal.

All of which is of course in stark contrast to the days where one got one's secretary to order a plate directly with their initials (e.g. GB 1).

We'd just finished cycling over Richmond Park one day and returned to the car park to see a rather lovely Aston parked opposite us. Unfortunately the owner had adorned it with a cheap dumberplate (year index prefix/suffix, miss-spaced). As we were putting the bikes on the rack the owner returned to his car. He gave our youngest a cheery wave in response to his smiling face, blissfully unaware that junior was laughing at the fact that his car screamed 'class', but his numberplate screamed 'oik'.

Tucker - it's a bit of fun.

Black Merc van size people carrier type thing. Dark tinted windows. Massive wheels. Numberplate M1B. Overtook and had a look in - a couple of guys wearing dark suits with black ties and black oakleys.

I'm sure the owner of the Aston would have been terribly upset if he found out that some random child thought that his numerplate screamed "oik".

Ive got ** 748 RS but dont hqve the Ducqti to go with it. It`s on a white van and is non-transferable.

@Edukator

I haven't seen any vanity plates on French cars. I'd also miss the nuances if a plate was a vanity plate too of course. Do they exist? (Also have they changed the system in the last few years...to the department number on the side of the plate, then letters, numbers and letters, or somsuch?)

Anyone who goes through Chelsea (by the river) will know these:

The cars change fairly regularly, but always parked there and that way around. Owned by [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bourne_(developer) ]Robert Bourne[/url] (a big arts patron, including saving the Old Vic) and his wife.

The Madison (Shimano) rep for our area used to have an A4 with A4 XTR.

He still does Dibbs.... but hes got an S4 now! Cant imagine you'd want to put many miles on it tho!

they are sh1t, all of em, stink like the fumes of an 80s ferrari, makes you look like you got a small winky...very sad indeed

My favourite is a guy from my old gym...
'H3NCH' (Hench i.e. large muscular build) on a blacked out Range Rover owned by a brick outhouse sized guy who worked out at the gym.

Have seen a couple more this week

[b]HT10 NLY[/b] spaced to HT 1 ONLY on an Audi TT. A dig at convertible TTs who knows?
[b]YE10 AKE[/b] spaced to YE1 OAKE presumably some sort of pub Ye Olde Oak I dunno 😆

Sorry to dig this up but a girl at work is buying [b]HU62 TLC[/b]

HUGS TLC!

*sticks fingers down throat*

🙂

There's a drain company close to me with T11RDS. Lovely eh.

Saw a blinder of one the other day.

Can't remember what it was though.

*sticks fingers down throat*

vanity plates... i like that.

each to their own 😉 but i hate the things to be honest unless they are on a shit hot cool car, it is just willy waving to be honest but the funniest ones are the cheopo ones that mean **** all and the only reason the person has bought them is to hide the age of the car.
