Great number plates - got any?

[hairnet]

numbered plate - guernsey

 

theres  a 7 series round here with 7UU on it

 

saw a jazz yesterday with 42K on it - plate worth ££ on a 3 grand hatch

[RichardK]

First plate I remember:

OSH 1T

 

On a white Ford, I think it was a Cortina but I was a kid and can't remember 10 minutes ago, let alone 34 years.

 

Next: DWA150N. Exciting, no? More amusing for being on a lovely blue CX, and the owner's name was D Watson with two screws neatly placed on the 1. Normally I get rage at mis-spaced plates and daft fonts, but that looked like it had been done way before acrylic plates and computer printed sheets made every prat get one.

 

My Citroën C6 had C6 RTK on it - my parents had got a set of plates when DVLA launched them in 1992 but A1 had been taken, so we all got A4. I got mocked endlessly for having a private plate on my Chevette at college :/

 

(I left C6 RTK on the car. I was NEVER going to need that one again).

 

A while back, H8 US X on a pink Porsche parked across two disabled bays in a services, no blue badge. Really didn't need a plate to encourage me there.

 

America makes it easy. When I get down to the DMV, Marvin (the Fifth Avenue) will be getting H2G2-42 on a Salmon plate. Someone already has 5TH AVE and yes, it's on a Fifth Avenue. I hope I see it going about sometime!

Merc driver is a ladies man ?

 

My first thought was a member of epic prog band Wishbone Ash...

Saw FOX 10 on a Porsche Cayenne in Westcliff this evening

I saw a Ford Focus today with the plate 76049.

How do you explain that?

No idea, but 76049 is on a Ford Fiesta Zetec Climate TDCi.

[RichardK]

Both things can be explained.

 

The five digit numeric plate is a channel islands plate - Guernsey.

And mistaking a Fiesta for a Focus is because they're fucking bland, bloated things.

Cartell.ie says Focus.

Followed an older shape Vivaro van twice yesterday. It had UK plates and something like "IID56765". Definitely IID and then 5 numbers.  Tried to get a pic but failed. Have googled and no clues. Baffled.

[Pillock]

DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY?

[Alan_Green]

Nah, I know about those. In the UK (and South Africa) 3 numbers, then a "D" then 3 numbers.  Like "123D321"  Slightly different font. "X" rather than a "D" for support staff.  "CD" usually in other countries for "Corps Diplomatique".  This was one of my old ones:

I've seen eastern European tat with UK-spec plates in Slovenian or whatever format before, white front and back, could have been that?

Also saw that done on an exported RHD Mondeo in Spain before - had white plastic post-2001 plates front and back with a Spanish number!

[quicksilver]

Could it be an Irish 11-D-56765? I'm sure I've seen a vehicle with an Irish reg on UK-style plates before.

[Alan_Green]

Yeah, that's it. 2011 Vivaro. Dublin reg. But the prat has used yellow plates/uk numbers. Wonder why he didn't use white plate at least. Traveller no doubt.

[4wheeledstool]

SM11NGE - super mingebag spec white Astra - appropriate!

[Ghosty]

I saw 5OAP (sadly on a 5 series) today

Odd because www.carcheckuk.co.uk says its a Fiesta.

Years ago saw M15ERY on a BMW Z3... 

 

And saw PRA15E on an Alfa Romeo 156 belonged to a local church minister (apparently - so me mam said)

[FakeConcern]

I was only wondering yesterday if anyone had M15ERY and now I know.

I know it's not a road vehicle, but I think this is ace.

 A Swiss chap I know used to fly to UK in his plane with the reg H-BOMZ

Sorry, no photo but seen outside a hospital, a large Peugeot with the registration YE10 CAR. It was a taxi for the company Yelo Cars. Would have been better if the number plate wasn't in such an odd font.

[Ghosty]

Didn't believe that was legit on the DS so checked Cartell. It is

[Tayne]

I saw a Vauxhall Astra that was covered in SNP and "yes" stickers.

It had a plate like SC02YES but I can't find it on Cartell.

[John F]

I saw a very small white car the other day with the number J313 JEB, spaced to look like "JEB JEB".

 

It suited it, so I grinned a bit.

[burraston2006]

Sorry no photo but saw TV 7 on a shite Astray floppy top on the A37 today. It definitely fitted all Voxhalls are shite catagory!

[D Spares & Tyres]

There`s a pick up near me that has BAD SPUD     BA05 PUD

 

Used to be a BMW in Kiddy that had B1TCH driven by a very tidy looking milf

 

A mate used to have a golf J51 UNT.

[Pillock]

 

All Vauxhall drivers are..... wankers?

[John F]

Judging by the photo, most of the neds at that auction are shuffling one out in their pockets over that Vaux...

[Tayne]

Was Cavcraft there?
