Great number plates - got any?

[willswitchengage]

Spotted outside a new Tesco Express that's being built near work:

Similarly, saw T7EES on a pickup belonging to a tree surgeon today.

[Angrydicky]

I saw a good one the other day. LAP 1T on some modern supercar.

I've got loads somewhere, but these are all I've uploaded to Flickr so far.

I think R5 OUL would be better.

[55bloke]

Saw 8EES on a Mini the other day. Presumably a bee keeper.

I haven't got that one, I do have R500 HOL if that's any use to you, and I have P11 LOK on an BMW X5 somewhere.

 

Many years ago when I first started driving, one of my favorites on a Mazda 929 estate was FOF 2V spaced F OF 2 V - Cartell can't find it on a car though, so it looks like it died along with it.

Today, Kirkcaldy.

 

Too many pies?

Parked outside a lawyers offices every day

I saw "N 16 GER" on a black B.M.W. once.......

(and on my bathroom door is "P 155' removed from a toymota starlet out here)

[Albert Ross]

Saw this yesterday and thought of you lot.

[Lord Sterling]

 

Actually, its not a great number plate. Its a shit one.

[vulgalour]

That would work better on a formerly Spanish Renault 5 that was living in the UK. R5 Olé! (yes, I know the last letter is a C badly altered.)

[HillmanImp]

From B3TA tonight:

That belongs to a coach company near to me, Souls of Olney. They've got a few different ones on coaches mainly used for contracts to Bedford private schools these days. Last time I saw R 5OUL it was on a Freelander,wonder why they took it off the school buses?

[Mr Livered]

I grew up in Bedford being ferried around in Souls of Olney coaches for school trips and so on. Apparently, before my time, the company had a rebranding from R Souls to Souls of Olney when they finally twigged what everyone was sniggering at.

'RED 911' on a red Porsche 911, but when I saw it I didn't doff my cap or be instantly overwhelmed with respect for the driver. I just thought 'oh look, a chav with a bit of coin'. I thought about getting a private plate just to hide the age of my car, but didn't because I think it's actually vulgar.

Ah, Souls. They do have a load of 5OUL and 50ULS plates but R5 OUL has never been on a coach and TBH I'm amazed the Doovla even issued it. Mr Livered's story I think is partly true - there was certainly an R. Soul in charge at one time but I don't think his name ever actually appeared on the vehicles. The current owner is David Soul so I'd like to think that Starsky & Hutch style stripe is more than just coincidence

 

[NorfolkNWeigh]

I'm beginning to doubt myself now,I've definitely seen R5OUL on an old style blue Freelander . In the past I've seen it on a Rover 800 in and around Olney/ Sherington/Newport and the fact Souls was also a Rover dealership maybe I assumed it was one of theirs.

[quicksilver]

No, you're quite right about R5 OUL, it checks out on Cartell as a 2004 blue Freelander - I haven't seen it myself but in that area it's bound to be Souls'. I just thought it odd that it got issued at all as the potentially rude ones are usually weeded out. Then again, I've always found it a bit odd that Doovla never released BUM but would issue CUM, which is surely ruder.

 

Same firm also had M500 CUM, both with 500 Cummins lumps.

[Hertz]

Spotted this a while back on the M56. Thought it was quite good, the "CABBIE" inside must be hoping the plate is his pension fund or something...

 

[Cavcraft]

That Merc plate  (ALIBIS) doesn't make sense. Unless it was A11BIS and he's made the first 1 look like an L, and even then you can't have an 'I' in the three letters anyhow.

It's a New Zealand plate, I'm pretty sure you can have any combination of letters and/or numbers there so it is actually ALIBIS and not some contrived alternative.

[sheffcortinacentre]

mates transit beavertail is J --- CUM & often gets comments, issued when new far as he knows.

[cms206]

Not only Cum, but Riding. The dirty bastards.

[Sloth in a bowl]

I almost went for DAT50N for my Datsun but I couldn't justify the £1200 price at the time.

[wackywacerwill]
