I have had a brief discussion with the powers that be on this one and was told "Fuck off, you have just spent ages getting that car how you want it and now you want to swap it for a scruffy Audi. Don't be fucking stupid."

 

So that's a no then.

Took this fine piece of automotive excellence to work yesterday and it actually drove quite well. I've lobbed it up for sale 'on the blue', an AS discount will apply should it be necessary. But ideally I'd swap for a Blingo van or a diesel estate of some sort.

MUST OF BEEN WORTH THE MONEY SHELLING OUT FOR THAT 6 DIGIT PLATE. TOTALLY TRANSFORMS THE CAR.

 

Someone remind me why people think it's worth spending £200+ swapping to a meaningless 6-digit plate on a 15 year old car? What have I missed?

[Cavcraft]

Hey? It's not a private plate, it's a standard issue as a lot of prefix.and suffix plates had 2 digits.

Missing a trick there, Billy.

[Cavcraft]

You're right there chief, missed a trick with that! I have had a bit of interest in it and hoping it might be gone soon.

Really? I thought it was a local (definitely here in Surrey) obsession switching their 7-digit plates to a not even personalised 6-digit plate on their 8-10 year old car. I can't work out why they do it because it looks to cost about £200-250 depending where you get the plate and they appear to be the sort of people who drive chod for economic reasons rather than because of spirit of Autoshite. An example is across the way from me, there's this lad who's shelled out on quite a tidy old 2003-ish 5-series, traditionally an economically sensible buy, but then shelled out to put a completely meaningless 6-digit plate on it. I wasn't quite sure of the point - why not spend £250 making the car better in some way or waste it on something worth wasting it on like drink, drugs or girls. His girlfriend did the same on her utterly hanging mk5 Fiesta which can't even be worth that sum in itself and it seems to be quite common round here.

You could buy any digit combination from DVLA if you wanted, and numbers such as 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 and the trebles of those were usually held by them so you had to buy them.

Common it garden doubles like mine were issued at random when vehicle was first registered.

[dollywobbler]

Correct. I'm the king of two-number plates. 2CV and Disco both have them, as did my Scimitar, BX Mk1, Mini, Saab 9000 and Audi 100. I really like them, but I wouldn't pay money like!
