RONNIE O'SULLIVAN has potted a 147 maximum and plans to spend his £157,000 bonus on a brand new Bentley.
""Obviously it's more important to win the game but that money gives me a few options in the summer. I'll be getting a Bentley Convertible now - I've been dying to get one!"
Unfortunately for Rocket Ronnie someone else got the 147, so he had to split the prize money.
There is a pest exterminator round my way that has the registration RAT80Y (RATBOY), I'm not a huge fan of private plates but this always makes me smile.
The best I can remember was someone locally who had several vehicles with similar registrations. I've blanked out the letters, which were the same on each reg, for anonymity, but they were 555***, ***555 and ***55S. Two of the vehicles looked like they had the same registration until you realised one ended with 5 and the other with S.
There is a Range Rover around these parts with the reg P15TAF with a spacing to read P15T AF which when said with a Glaswegian accent, can sum up my feelings just now!
This thread seems to have gone the same way as other previous number plate threads. That being it has started to desend to a level inapropriate to the BackRoom standard that we like to maintain - no more risqué number plates please.
As has previously mentioned in many of the other number plate threads on here.
One thing about personal plates is if you have to explain it then it doesn’t really work.
However a couple of amusing ones around me.
HU11 GUY
HU11 YOB
Obvious to us all who live in East Yorkshire/Humberside.
Personally I don’t see the point. Those who for example have a BMW having a plate with the same three letters. It usually has the brand on the boot anyway.
I can think of better things to spend my hard earned on.
Owned by a butcher, it used to be on a small Suzuki van - sign painted the back door had
Quality STEAK
and
M1NCE
Mince also means rubbish in Scottish slang use
Last time I saw it was on a gleaming new MB GLE
Pokey shop, at least 70 years in business, but supports the luxury large detached homes & fleets of family cars about 200 yards along the road from my modest home - M2NCE also owned but you cannot beat M1NCE

Many years ago I recall hearing about ORG45M (that shows how old - about 1974 originally) but I saw it listed in one of those huge adverts much more recently. In the old days the authorities would not issue marks like WC or VD or BUM, but those limitations were relaxed when things got tighter in the 60s. Clearly no-one spotted the ORG one though ... :-)
V8 has to be the coolest one ever. I once saw that plate on an Aston Martin. Nothing worse than driving a V8 and being mistaken for the driver of a lowly 6 cylinder model!

I am hoping my ice-cold W12 AYE plate might confer some extra value to my old Audi. Nothing worse than being mistaken for a sluggish V8........

Round my way there is RAG80Y. Might be his brother who owns a carpet shop?
