If people want to spend their money on a number plate and it makes them happy then good on them!

Not my thing but some of them are pretty suited to the car or have made me chuckle.

Remember seeing a clip about a number plate auction in the Middle East where a guy was talking about how much he would pay for the number plate 1, he said he wouldn't pay more than 15 - 20 million.......

It is the same as a cheap imitation of anything expensive.

If you can't afford or aquire a classic plate e.g ABC 123 , something that actually spells what you want e.g. ELV1S or something clever you have spotted e.g. POO 9ONE seen on a pluming van,then why bother?

haha love it

some plates look good, but most look rubbish and chavvy, just a jumble of numbers and letters shoved together

there's a builder around me and his plate is 'LA51 FKR' and a Sheffield united fan with 'D14DES' with a screw in the middle of the first D

Not something I'd ever buy but my STI came with a one & It does look good but it's not one where you have to guess what it says. Just the plate year letter then 666 WRX.

There used to be a CLA55Y around the Uxbridge area, sadly attached to a rusting Cortina.

MY daughter used to have an MG ZR. Got a plate from DVLA for £300.

M600 CLM.


CLM are her initials so a small space on the 6 and some judicious spacing leaves MG 00 CLM.

That one will be worth a fortune as it doesn't try to use numbers as letters.

I can't find the link, and not off topic either, but I'm sure Jeremy Clarkson called Hammond and May a bunch of pikeys for having privatised number plates on their motors.

My one BMW addict work colleague was to buy a mint Beemer from a car dealer, but when she drove past it again, she noticed that the number plate said TW4 T. She decided to leave it.

I also saw one mint black Merc on the lay by on my way to somewhere one evening. Another distinct feature about it was its number plate, not to be missed. It said ICE, and that's about it! I thought it must belong to some famous musician or some top-of-the-game famous DJ. Anyway, one night it was right behind us for a couple of miles, and stayed within the speed limit. But as soon as we hit the bypass with 70 limit, that Merc just left my VW for dead! Then I spotted it waiting to get in at the gates of a mansion in our village. It clicked to me then that it is one of the Iceland supermarket boss's car. Bleddy pikey , JC would call him!
