Great number plates - got any?

[Autoplas]

There is a gold 3 series cabriolet I have seen in Romford a couple of times with the reg T11 TSX displayed as TIITS X

 

Sadly I have yet to get a gander at the driver - she is either a propa' stunna' or a right horsemoose.........

 

The quest continues

F1 BOL (on an MR2 yesterday) reminded me of someone on here!

[Mr Lobster]

There used to be an MOT place around here who had an Escort van with A1 4 MOT on it which was quite good. Not seen it about in years though.

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

 

 

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...

 

Personal plates don't seem to be quite such a big thing here though, people sometimes go for their initials or perhaps a short or repeating number. We have just a 'D' prefix here for Düsseldorf, so are free to make up a following combination of one or two letters, then 1,2,3 or 4 numbers. Obviously longer area prefixes as seen above cuts down the characters you can play with. My colleagues surname is Draxler, and he has D RX 2002; he got married in 2002, but with a few exceptions, you rarely see anything really clever like you do in the UK.

 

I will have to register the van over here at some point. It's an '84 Dodge Ram. I would like something like D OD 93 or D OD 9384, but not really sure how the system works. Does anyone know if there is a DVLA style web system in Germany where you can look up to see what numbers have been taken?

 

Sorry, didn't mean to steer the thread too far off subject.

anyone know who's got F1 ROX on his silver Ferrari 360 ?

 

He was being a cock-end in M1 traffic last night

[eddyramrod]

I had to post this here...

I know being a Cyprus number it doesn't really count, but since I'll be driving around with it for some time to come I am rather pleased to get something so short. Strictly speaking it should be 008, as Cyprus does use the leading-zero, but you often see cars without them. I know at least one car with the zero in the plate at one end, but not at the other...

mates boss has 4 KOF & 4 COF, thier van a pug boxer has X 80 XER , X 80XER , seen MU 51 CAL , MU51CAL,

Coming off the M1 on the way home from work tonight, I pulled up behind two cars stood at the traffic lights at the top of the slip road. One had V 12 BOM as it's plate, but it was disapointingly only a black VW Passat. But beside it was a black Mercedes CL 600, which of course is a V12 bomb!! It's reg number was 1 DD! As I approached, I thought it was supposed to look like I DO, but maybe there's some other significance? A pair of cool plates though, even if they should have been swapped round.

Saw W5 DOG on a Fabia on the way home , car had a dog guard fitted , not sure thats a good plate to have mind , unless its on some real dog of a car

[CreepingJesus]

Only seem to have seen rubbish plates lately - the really messed up ones which make you wonder how desperate for attention the owners really are. There's 'A1 NCR' on a black Jag round here - my initials and choice of car in one, the jammy old git!

I was however, recently driving for Pollock's, whose trucks are mostly fitted with plates ending 'PSL', the company initials; pondering plates, when it occurred to me that you could have SAU 549E. Stick it on a rusty Merc, and you truly have a German banger...

Or ASH 173R. We could chip in for that one, and share it out, 6 months at a time.

Mentioned this earlier in ththread but now I have pics.

 

From a local Saw making company: (Sorry about the first pic, had to zoom in)

[STUNO]

saw HOON on a Lamborghini Diablo the other day

[Albert Ross]

Saw a Corsa being driven by a proper munter the other day. The plate may have been a giveaway. (With Cornflakes most likely)

 

The enquiry is complete

I also considered various footballer connections, and the carnival aspect of it all. Future money earner? Nope. After that I went for a shit.

I've just seen FOX 71, spaced to read FOXY 1. Was dark, so can't report on the accuracy!

[Espacetic]

Saw the perfect plate for Hitler today.. WHO 2 GAS

[M'coli]

On an audi today, B16 AOK, spaced to read BIG A OK.

[scaryoldcortina]

Also today, on an audi A8, ST08ART.

 

Couldn't help wondering who owns it..

[lovejoy]

Anyone spotted N 16 GER, or N 166 ERS on a black BMW yet ???

[Shep Shepherd]

I saw C2 ECH on a red Skoda Fabia on the A13 yesterday

[55bloke]

Two I regularly see round here are X8COM, which I guess is a web site, and TED 100 S - that's nothing special, except it's spaced so that at 1st glance it appears to read TEDIOUS - oh the irony!!

[Espacetic]

This morning saw HI YOU on a Range Rover.

[Rusty Pelican]

Saw B10 MGF on a filthy MGF today , funny that

[Pillock]

Followed a van (a Renault thingie I think) belonging to an industrial door company. Registration was DO02 NOB, I guess with the intention of the 2 being made to look like an R. Thought it was quite clever, only noticed it though because I chuckled at the NOB bit.

[steve austin]

Honda Civic locally got reg TYP3R that looks pretty cool, my old xr plate is F47SLA.......g fat slag!

[Formula Autos]

There's a weird one round my way - BUT 100K (but look, presumably) on a mingebag spec silver Merc W124 that never seems to get washed and has a full complement of scuffed wheeltrims.

 

Surely if they want to be looked at in admiration, they're going about it all wrong? A slightly scuzzy 20 year old Berlin taxi is only likely to impress us 'shiters.

I saw T100MDC today, made me think of Trigger.

Perfect number plate for the World's Most Brutal BL to Bust forum too.
