I'm gently tootling along the dual carriageway earlier. After rounding a roundabout some guy in a van behind me is flashing his lights like the world is about to end.
I check I've not accidently turned on fogs or hazards....nope
He still flashes
I check mirror again to check boot isn't swinging open...nope
He still flashes
I check doors are OK.....yep
He still flashes
"Bl00dy hell" I think, my exhaust must be on fire or something
He's still flashing....
Whilst I'm worrying about whats wrong...
He carries on flashing
So as a bloke full of bravado I pull up at the next junction (ie; I have no worries about him trying to hijack me)

He pulls up beside and says "Fancy a private plate for that?"


LOL what a ******, I thought me chuffing car was about to explode!!!

 

and some peopel cant spool!

 

LMAO
'you've got flames comin out of your exhaust mate'
'and nasty bangs'

So... what plate??

Rob

 

LOL - I thought you were going to complain about another idoit driving a drag car for the road

So, what was the plate?

Matt

 

With a van trying to pass I would guess it was 5 LOW

 

He might have thought you needed one to go with your dinner tray on the boot, check out if he has any cutlery too.

 

LOL @ Andy and Spoon. It might have been an F1 Transit

I didn't find out the reg he had, as I mentioned that I'd only be interested if it looked like DISCO in some form.

 

Straight swap or part-ex?

 

Reminds me of the story of Nate and the old couple on the way to paintball....

Nate pulls up at traffic lights, flamer kit on.
Old couple pull up behind him.
Nate flames quite spectacularly.
Old boy driving the car reverses a bit.
Old dear jumps out of car and rushes up to Nate.
"Your.. Your.. Your car's on fire!" says the old dear.
"Yes, it's got flames on the side too, look-" says Nate.

 

What was the plate ? C4 TNT ?

 

T 4 ART

 

B4 NGS

 

... why ?

I still don't get the point in plates that almost but don't spell what you want them to without getting all 'creative'
