I saw CLU 8S (CLUBS) on a modern Beemer today.

 

Probably the owner of a golf course.

[dollywobbler]

In Switzerland, saw something Brit-plated and modern with the number SN08 NOB.

Back in the day there was a proper tatty Rangie round here, with italic EEE 80Y plates. Theyre on a newer one now, or were last time i saw them. Reminds me of my old P.E and physics teacher, 'Chopper' Hobden. " EEEEE BOY, MIND THE OOOOJARS!"

Mike D at school, earlier.

[Spottedlaurel]

I feel there's a joke here about whether Mike D might be the one on the right, for some reason, but it's too early...

Saw an MX5 today with 1 BET. I'm fascinated by the potential significance - does it just belong to a gambler, or is t more subtle?

[Albert Ross]

I guess more subtle as its a local plate. ET Rotherham.

[ProgRocker]

Yesterday I saw 'BJ 12' - on the back of a mid-late 1990s boggo VW Polo.

[STUNO]

Yesterday saw DUZMEE on a tatty Hillman Hunter

[Negative Creep]

Saw the numberplate RD RRR and below it has the phrase 'pirate texting.' I have no idea where it comes from, or even what car it was attatched to, but it was quite brilliant

This belongs to the tranny at work.

 

 

And no, I didn't make it up.

AARGS HOLE?

 

When you sat Tranny...? Are we talking sausage surprise or comically obvious??

[Richard]

It's a Nissan Micra, an uninsured one at that, so I'm guessing the former.

The latter. he's 6 foot 5, and going out with a munter par excellence who's had a written warning about her personal hygiene (BO) after 18 separate complaints from other members of staff.

If I remember rightly he also had a warning buzzer wired up to reverse gear that played the theme tune from 'Popeye' whenever he backed it up.

 

I think it may have been scrapped now (the Micra). It was metallic blue with lots of pink decals and a massive 'Powered by fairydust' emblem on the tailgate.

Not a live spot, but a flickr one:

 

 

A1 now sadly lives on an '07 Mini Cooper.

[dollywobbler]

In the space of a few minutes tonight, I've seen M1 OH MY on a Nissan Skyling and OCK 1T on some bland Japanese thing.

[155V6]

I saw R4T FO on a pest control van

[Gompo]

Couple of crap ones for you..

 

FA58TER on a GTR

 

S400AGG spaced and with different 4 to look like 'S400 A GG'. Got it now? Yes, it was meant to read 'Sh00 A GG', as in put shoes on horses .

[simmo]

Bump coz of Spam

[FredTransit]

Bump for a real thread.....

Saw this yesterday, I wonder if it was standard issue or if you can buy stuff in Germany like you can here?

 

[michiel]

^LOL^

 

Edit: link to image forked, was a British car with TOP100 (+ trailer with an old AC Ace or maybe a Tojeiro I think)

You don't have to buy plates over here actually. The first 1, 2 or 3 letters refer to the city or 'Kreis', in this case BIT for Bitburg, the following stuff is your choice if desired, costs about €20, otherwise you get a random combination. BIT-CH may belong to a Christian Harman maybe, as many people choose their initials for their plates. Although DO-OM and DO-IT became quite popular recently...

Here's a link if you'd like to see TOP100.

Cool plates I've spotted today;

 

V111A FC on a shabby Rover 75 estate in Brum.

REM1X on a truck that appeared to be owned by Michelin.

V12 GLF on a DB9 that did, indeed, GLF.

 

Whilst crossing Germany the other week I spotted some good ones, but my favourite was a Seat Leon (I think) that had the plate AC NE 69.

Yes, the Aachen-pool offers a big variety of plates, a friend of mine has AC-DC70. Also quite popular AC-HT (for the number 8 ).

[Tartan58]

A few of good ones I've seen are:

UP U 51R on a Range Rover,

A17 LFA on a Alfa 164 (This was prob about 10 years ago)

M4BYE on an old Cherokee

My Dad bought a Saab 9000 from a dealer who had A5 NEW on it.

There was a Pest Control van in Galsgow that read EXHUMER but I can't for the life of me work out how it worked (showed a bit of education though I thought!)

 

There's a fine line I think betwen a plate looking good and looking plain crap and I'm not sure where that line is tbh. I don't get "rude" ones, they're funny to see once but I'd just be embarassed driving a car with a plate like that on every day.

I always find expensive plates on cheap or basic cars interesting wondering what the history is as it usually tends to be that the plates been in the family for ages. There's a few like that round here like a 90s Honda Jazz with a 2 digit plate and 90s corolla with a 4 digit plate.
