Andrew353w Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 We had to call out an emergency plumber on Monday. He promptly attended and parked his van in the driveway and I helped him carry some equipment into the house. He then carried ME into the house, after I'd collapsed with laughter, after looking at his van's registration..... I kid you not!!

myglaren Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I can't remember it with any detail, mainly due to the speed it passed, but an Audi with "BEEES" or very similar. An apiarist perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the bin man order his number plate via the medium of a ventriloquist's doll? Who, incidentally, is also the driver. myglaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Saw TOW 50S but it was on a 7.5 ton flatbed, possibly with hi-ab. Looked more builders merchants than recovery truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavieW Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 We spent a couple of nights in Helensburgh this week. The next village along the coast is Rhu. It seems every second resident has an RHU registration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Equalizer Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Bound to have been spotted before, but 73 BGT in Nugent Centre, St. Mary Cray, Kent. No prizes for guessing what on.

I normally hate illegal spacing because it usually makes something unintelligible but that's just brilliant. I'm guessing that's Staplefield? I was planning to go there today but thought better of it with the weather. Is there the usual assortment of interesting vehicles or have people stayed away? I feel sorry for the participants in this deluge. Three Speed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebus Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Talking of mis-spaced, I saw LUV 130X using illegal characters/spacing to say LUV BOX on a Boxster. Sounds like a euphemism for a ladies front bottom to me Shite Ron and puddlethumper 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many spectators there. Just enough to fill the bus shelter.

skoda_fan Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Ah thanks. What a shame. Makes me feel better as during the odd three seconds today when it stopped raining I wondered whether I'd wimped out. Thanks for the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coachie Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Some good autoshite plates coming up in a DVLA auction this month. Not for me, but would be GR8 for some if they don't get too pricey.
