I was behind a Z3 tonight, registration P600 MPH. I'll leave you to work out how the characters were placed.
Sadly it didn't have any, he was observing the universal 40mph limit.

The most memorable plate I have ever seen, and it needed no special spacing:

Followed a van this morning in Cambridge with the reg G7PSY, with the '7' bent at the top. Was pulling into an area currently being used for filming for BBC I believe. Amused me on my way to work anyway... :-)

I saw a 'doctors' Freelander the other week, green lights, reflective chequering etc., parked outside a care home. The registration? --54 DOA. How inappropriate can you get? Had to discuss it with the occupant. Apparently a regular source of amusement(?). It was claimed that's how it came from the lease company, and it wasn't deliberate!

The person that bought this car many years ago must of had his/her eyes closed.

Another one that really makes me LOL is - ????? LAN as this translates to a very, very rude word in a certain language.

More seriously than my above suggestion I remember seeing DE51NGS on a Merc a few years ago. I really like the ones that actually make a name like ROS1E etc.

Did my previous post not post properly (I am sure it was there earlier) or has it been "snipped"? Certainly didn't think it was offensive - if so then I apologise, although it was surely no worse than others still visible?

Some years ago in the west end of London, Porsche with 'A15 LAG'. a couple of weeks ago in Marlborough a 206 with 'A?? BUG' ! I think they may have missed the point somehow?

Oh yes and the ambulance parked in A & E at the old Swindon P.M. Hospital with 'A11 SAD'. Not sure if this qualifies as amusing? It is now listed as registered to a Mitsubishi so maybe the Health Authority had a few complaints?

Posted this in another thread last week but when did repetition stop any of us in here?
Parked in Chancery Lane London WC2 around 6pm last Wednesday, a Merc Van signwritten for Pimlico Plumbers with the reg B1DET .

Always threatened er indoors with B1MBO, then I found it going for 40 grand or some such price, think I'll leave it!

Their site says they are interested in buying any no plates that would suit their business.

This thread seems to have gone the same way as other previous number plate threads. That being it has desended to a level inapropriate to the BackRoom standard that we like to maintain -
As previously mentioned in some of the other number plate threads on here, that's quite enough of the more risqué number plates & van slogans please. Some have been removed, and in doing so, some of the innocent ones may well have been caught up in the tidy up as well.

The owner of a Toyota coupe in the town where I live has the registration P19 SEO - joining up the digits was an obvious move but, for reasons which I can only guess (sure you are with me), the spacing is now back to the legal requirement.
Yet, ironically, any untoward incidents involving a vehicle with such a distinctive registration would be more memorable than normal to those who become involved....:-)

308 GTB which I saw on a err yes Ferrari 308 GTB parked in York many years ago. Cool or what.
Steve.
|
|
Could be very wrong here but seem to remember reading somewhere that the singer Chris Rea had that registration. (308 GTB)
|
|
Favourite one that sticks in my mind was SEE21T on a Nissan Prairie I saw in the mid 80s (before all the cherished plates hype). Characters had been moved to read SEE 2 1T.

Best one I've seen is K9 KAK in Milton Keynes. For Dr Who fans it was not on a Tardis!

I overtook OLD1E the other week on the M23. It was on a Polo. Surely a case of the plate being worth more than the car?
FLU1D is also seen down here in Sussex.

WWW.1 on a S type MB in my area
I quess a genuine situation where the dot is black but not an offence?.

There's also a Honda Accord here with W1 NNT all scrunched up together. Obviously a computer-related occupation!

My favourites were the promotional registration numbers used by Porsche in the 80s for the 928S: "THE 928S", and more recently, Chrysler for the Dodge Viper: "WOW 110T", with a blob between the digits to read "WOW HOT". I didn't actually get all the numbers in earlier posts - must be a sign of age!

Steve Parrish, the motorcycle and truck racer, used to have an interesting one.... which spelt out the male appendage.... as the 5 looked like an S..... saw it on a Merc 190 at Brands Hatch, quite a number of years ago

Much sought after that number westpig. I saw it on a Bentley in the sixties. But this whole thread is giving me a sense of deja vu. Still, I suppose I might as well mention again the BMW M3 I saw weaving down the A3: O505LOW.

I've just walked by an Audi A4 with the reg WA51 TME. I'll leave you to work out the spacing!

Seen a couple of times in North Wales on a Ciroen C5 -- C5 YYY. Which may sime up that owner's view of his car.
|
don't you find it amazing how far some people can see into a number........ you know when you do your look and dream search through the car reg adverts that if they have to explain it in the advert, it's really a lost cause to start with, don't you
|
|
Yes - brilliant phrase that "look and dream search" I'll adopt that !

Once knew someone who had a reg * *** DOA and very appropriate it was too

Spotted yesterday on a yellow MINI - S18 GBH. Okay probably only the forum coppers and lawyers will get it, but still... The lady driving it clearly hadn't chosen it to look hard.
Also there is a house near me with A11OWE and A11PAY on the driveway (old Silver Spirit and a Shogun I think) . Another matching pair is 2B and NOT2B.
|
S18 GBH.
It must have been a grevious MINI that one and the owner intended to let it be known ! No harm in that but it may assault the senses - but not bodily altered I suspect.
|
|
|
|
the 2B and NOT2B cars were located near Cheyne Walk in Chelsea, one was on a R.R., the last time I saw them was a few years back, but very amusing
|
|
I saw 2b and not2b last month, I think they were on an Aston and a Ferrari. Decisions, decisions...
|
|
|
|
|

Not so much amusing as scary??
My other half and I are both licenced amateur radio users. We passed the exam at the same time and have consecutive licence 'numbers' , mine ends W hers ends X.
Brand new Toyota in the offing, been informed by dealer of reg no so I can insure. Last 2 letters?

IIRC the Lord Provost also wanted G1 but a Lanarkshire businessman wouldn't give it up?
Re Viera, I take it this is Weisfield? I saw the Bentley a couple of weeks ago on the M8 and I wondered if it was her? Do they still live in this area? I have never seen a Maybach in Scotland, never mind along the M8!

mate of mine is a tax accountant. His plate for many years has been K11 TAX, but the first '1' has a dot 2/3 of the way up so it reads KiI TAX. He even drove Kenneth Clarke in it when KC was the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Saw an oddity in Leicester today: "BIG 60 50" on a BMW 760. A Google search shows that there is in fact a 6 litre 7 series (which I was unaware of), but could it have been an import to get the odd reg?
Any experts/Leicester residents able to help out?

Pub on Anglesey has a van with the following reg. D10 DDA , with the spacing arranged to read
DIOD DA . This translates as Good Drink. I`m surprised Mr. Brumston`s boys have not taken an interest. It would give them a change from catching motorists doing 80mph on the A55.
|
1) Before the present fashion for making words out of a letter / number combination and indeed before suffix numberplates began in 1963, the radio / TV personality Bob Danvers-Walker had the plate: RAD 10
2) When I was on the Isle of Mann in 1969, the govenor had the plate: IO MAN
Not especially funny, but quite apt and less contrived than many today.

S4 FTY on a driving school car in Tiptoe near Lymington.
F10 PPY on a car parked in the New Forest.

My favourite was OGO 2L - a genuine London 1973 number. I think someone put it on an Aston Martin.

Close to the V70 seen with S4 ETY - complete with an F stuck on the care below the plate as if it had slipped down!

A couple of years ago I followed a French, van-like car off our university campus with the registration KAN 900. Sad to say that it took my five minutes of following it to realise that it wasn't a Renault at all - rather a Citroen Berlingo... How bizarre?

The new reg. no. format offers lots of possibilities.
One I liked was WM02ART - spaced out as W MO2ART - no douby a musician or classical fan.

I had an Fiat Uno Turbo with the reg H12 UNO and a friend had on both of his Astra GTE's (consecutively) A** GTE and another friend went grey in his early twenties which was great for mickey taking, didn't help himself when he bought a car with the number plate ending with FOX. He's been known as The Silver Fox ever since.
