A day of private plates

Yesterday in London I saw:

White Rolls Royce with "007" plate
Black exec car with "3D" plate
and a Black Range Rover with "L1 BYA" plate (off Edgware Road. Where else? 🙂

A car near me has FAA 4RT with minimal spacing between letters.

Classy!

A mini I used to pass on my commute when I lived in Glasgow that had M1 NGE. Total nedmobile but used to make me smile!

?
‘fart’ with an extra A and a 4 in the middle? Even considering that personalised plates are for cockweasels with no sense of taste, that’s particularly sh1t.

Chum of mine had BOL 10X.

A more refined dentist chum has CAV 17Y

Oh and BTW, cue the ‘cherished plates are for nobs’ vs ‘I can do what I like with my money’ debate followed by:

What coffee machine
Which tyres
FS vs HT
Cheap kit vs high end
Why the forum name
How much do you earn/what do you do
How to fix <insert type of white goods>
Etc etc

Time of the month Bob?

on the blob?

🙂

Round the corner from me is a big black Range Rover

SPL1F

Dunno what the guy does for a living though.

Used to be a hairdressers convertible near us too with V14GRA always stood out when you saw it.

Locally we have,

DOD6Y
STR1P
WOR5T,

All on Porsches.

A plumber near us has "A11 GAS". On the day the M-reg plates came out, I saw a Micra with "M1 CRA".

Here we go again….

On Cheyne Walk, in Old London town, sit these two;

So bad it’s brilliant. Sadly I believe them to belong to Bernie Ecclestone.

There’s a big 4×4 pick-up running aroound Sockport with P1 KEY

I’ve seen a F40 Ferrari with BEG 4IT

flash – cant see those behind the firewall here. What do they say?

I often see STW 111 crusing round these parts on a Renault Vel Satis, wouldn’t be one of the STW gang though as I’m miles away.

Would have looked good on chipps’ pink gay car.

Stoner, it’s a Vanquish with "2 BE" and a Bentley Arnage Black Label (I think) with "NOT 2B"

Capn – if that wee sprat Ecclestone wants to make some sort of ironic number-plate based statement about Shakespeare/his own initials THE LEAST he could do would be to have them parked the right way round.

"Not to be or to be, that is the question"

Doesn’t work Ecclestone, get a flunky to move them round!

there was a drain clearance van with WH05HAT that was posted a while back.

aha Flash.

very flair.

There’s a real estate traders in NW london with number plates "B1 DHI", "B1 DLO" and another I forget…

Opticians car with ‘OO1’.

Generally people that aren’t satisfied with their lives as they are.

I knew a guy whose then company car didn’t have a private plate, rather the following unfortunate combination:

V41 GNA

(And if you read it quickly, it says….)

So general opinion is that i sholdn’t get

N 666 WCA
N 999 WCA

as plates for my car then?

My plate :oops:My name is Jason 🙄

It all depends on whether you’re a c0ck or not. If you are, and want people to be aware of this fact, go ahead and buy it.

(And if you read it quickly, it says….)
erm…VfortyoneGNA? No different from if you read it slowly.

So bad it’s brilliant. Sadly I believe them to belong to Bernie Ecclestone.

I thought those two belonged to a well known (and rich) actor. Although that’s just a vague memory from reading it in the paper. A quick google doesn’t reveal anything.

Do you know for sure they are Bernie’s?

Most of the vans belonging to Pimlico Plumbers have personalised plates:

BOG 1
G45 1EAK
FLUSSH
A 8OILER etc…

seen a Ferrari round Huddersfield with G1RLS
and chimney sweep near Heathrow with D 5OOT

I’ve seen a Veyron in Derby (twice now) with the plate E13VEY.

I thought it looked sooo cooool, innit.

🙄

One near me with P155 ERR

Somebody showed a picture on here last year of a drain cleaning van with the registration WH05HAT.

Also…

Charlie Flashfart; I’ve seen them two a few times. Nice gaff, overlooking the river and the houseboat marina. I always thought them to belong to an actor. You say they’re Bernies? Shame.

Porsche in Glasgow with P155 AFF

Crazy thing is, those two plates (2 BE & NOT 2B) as a pair are probably worth more than the cars they are on!

B 8 GAY

Is a local one that’s springs to mind, on an oldish white Merc.

I get overtaken on the M40 quite often by a blacked out Range Rover with
C OO1K on it. there’s a bloke round my way who’s got the tattiest 20 year Beamer 3 series with A13 on it. Apparently it’s been in his family for ages.
