Question VERY strange number plate...........???

Coming home from work the other night, I followed a red Ibiza Cupra R down the hill into town, and was surprsied to see the number plate read: "1 C*NT" , except without the vowel being deleated:

Now my question is this: what on earth could have been the number in order to produce that combination?

The number 6 probably or perhaps a bendy number 1?

10UNT

16UNT

Depending where he has put his screws, both would work.

How about this then? A RHD current M3 often parked on my road( not far from Drs surgery) has the plate DANNY GP. I've had a close look and it really says that, no fiddling of letters/digits etc. The licence plate it self looks to be 'of an American style' rather tha Euro/GB type. How can this be?

I've seen a couple of good ones recently. The best was on a Cayenne S 'YET1'

Also head that Essex County Council are putting up for sale the number plate from one of their official cars: 'F1' - any takers (Bernie?) How much is that going to go for?

Question

No visible screws on my one, just the letters and number which, being a straight 1 could have been an I as well

There's a car at our work, and the plate is "RAAJ H"

on the tax disc it says R4 AJH", but he has just had the plate made up as "RAAJ H", no screws, no altered 4's or anything

The pure numbers plate, well it was possible to get those, but thought they could only legally be put on a specific MY of car. I remember seeing a Fontera with a numerical plate.

A Plate that is pure numbers, ie "56784" will more than likely belong to a US Forces employee who is based over here

I saw a BMW recently with A 13MW X in the number plate, with the 1 and 3 made to look like a B. It must have been soooooooooooo difficult to find a the letters BMW in a number plate!

You wouldn't believe what I saw the other week at work

C4AOS as in CHAOS.....funnily enough on an Audi too (to what he boast on razzing around without a licence) and the plate is modified to read the intended.

got me thinking......could it?.....nah!!

If you follow the link on this thread you can put in the alternatives and see what it actually was as it will tell you the car to which the plate is registered.

There's (or was) a car in Barnsley driving round with the plate "B10 JOB".

I also had a car parked outside my old place of work most days with the plate "2R". Not amusing in itself, but when it's stuck to a 5 year old Daewoo Nexia, it takes on a whole new complexion.
