It has always struck me that the euphemistically termed cherished registration plate can mark a car out. When it contains the distinctive acronym for your employer all the more so perhaps ?
On Berkshire Way, Bracknell today, between two roundabouts I saw such a top of the range 5.0l black vehicle with a cherished registration (containing the initials of a car company who's UK headquarters are in close proximity) driven in a very exuberant fashion (euphemism very much intended here), possibly floored it and managed to get beyond the legal limit in the short 1/2 mile stretch before standing on the brakes to insert itself behind a lorry and turn left towards the aforementioned headquarters - nearside lane was pretty much empty btw.
Net result, drivers of cars from that manufacturer even at a corporate level can appear to conform to their apparent stereotype.... (and I drive one of their excellent machines too). Or perhaps the boss was late for an important meeting ?
Perhaps better to go for a low key standard reg if you're going to drive "ostentatiously" ?
