Great number plates - got any?

[Shep Shepherd]

On the way home from work this evening, I saw a newish Jaguar convertible with the number plate D1 XNV which had been spaced to read 'DIX NV'. I honestly don't know what that says about the middle-aged guy who was driving it!

This is the grey Merc in my spots thread... Given the random nature of Cypriot numbering, getting "300" on a Merc 300D was either blind luck, or high-level corruption!

[CreepingJesus]

Saw 'P15 PEE' on an X5 t'other day. Surely 'P155 PEE', or 'P33 PEE' would've been better? Left me feeling strangely bemused.

B4 TDC on a silver Merc 4x4 and 2 EXP on a blue Triumph 2500S estate seen within the past few days.

1 PAD seen today on a Merc.

[Rusty Pelican]

Saw a brand new Mini cabriolet in red with black stripes on it , didnt catch the whole plate but it ended in MUG

How fitting

[kinkersaab]

In Aberdeen yesterday I saw " R25 " now I have just the car for that plate.......

2 FRY on an S type Jag in Preston.

M100 POO (moo poo?) - Nissan pick up in Blackpool.

M5 POO on a BMW M5 of all things.

D1RTY on a BMW earlier

The owner of one of the local building companies lives up the road from me and predictably has a new Range Rover. The number is:

 

B1 ULD

 

He's a pretty good builder, just not so hot with the spelling...

Well no, but to me it perfectly illustrates the pointlessness of personal plates. There's a lot of clutching at straws going on.

In the last couple of days I've seen:

 

CYL 8 on a Range Rover

 

KJN 1 on a giffer owned newish Fiesta. I get the impression the old boy's had the number on every car he's owned since his 1954 Austin A30 or Ford Pop it was originally on.

 

SSS5S - can't remember what this was on.

[Albert Ross]

I was forced to go through Manchester the other day. (Stockport-Oldham) and followed a Lanos with the reg.... wait for it....

 

L44NOS.

 

No pics as I was being followed by plod. Not because they wanted to stop me or owt.

[Pete-M]

I had a Sierra XR4x4 years ago with almost the perfect alternative plate for a Lanos. D434WOO.

 

(It almost says DAEWOO, if you squint a bit)

AC10 is also the offence code for failure to stop after an accident

[Tayne]

There's an X-type that I see near work which advertises some sort of weight loss programme and wears the plate LO 02 FAT, which just makes me think of an overweight toilet.

 

A landscape gardner has a green defender with the plate T33 URF.

paves the way for the likes of DR10 HIC and SP60 BYE I suppose

No, plumbers earn far too much.

I know one who sold his Ferrari to buy apartment in Nice.

Not a great number, but I saw II 611 on a VW yesterday; would that have been an Irish plate originally? Never seen 2 "I"s shoved together before, the opportunities for symmetry (II811) or a very narrow plate (II111) are interesting

[eddyramrod]

Are you sure that wasn't 11811, visiting from Guernsey? Over there they use numbers only, no letters, as Cyprus did until the 50s.

[STUNO]

Seen today while driving my bus and cameraless, TO55ER on a new looking Porsche cabrio.

That had me laughing out loud .

[Albert Ross]

Seen yesterday on a modern Eurobox. DU11VWS. Which sums up my thoughts on them totally. It certainly wasn't a VAG product, but might have been a Corsa. (I was slightly pissed)
