What’s it supposed to look like? 

Looks like B10NFC to me

[Dave_Q]

As spacing crimes go its barely there but I assume the infraction is that there should be a space between B10 and NIC.

[Austin-Rover]

Got a couple here; 

C17 ROV was in the DVLA bargain bucket at £250. There was only ever me going to buy it! 

The next one was on an old Cavalier of legendary status and fond memories now since departed;

The final one is N471 CEY which was on a Corsa in the family from new. When the Corsa was written off it found its way on to another small Vauxhall. Currently it exists only on the retention certificate. It'll get an outing again one day.

That ROV number plate on the City is the piece de resistance of giffer accessories. The only way you could top that would be your initials monogrammed on the rear quarter panel. 

[MiniMinorMk3]

My first Innocenti Mini had this on it

I couldn't go anywhere with out someone making a comment on how well jell they were of my plate, however, when asked the question would you  like to buy it, no body wanted it.

Surely the wanker plate to beat them all would be BO55 1 if such a thing exists, that would take it to a whole new level. 

 'BIG' or 'B05S' plates seem to be the numbers of choice for people with absolutely fucked 20 year old Range Rovers running on 22 inch wheels.

And more recently some of them have upgraded to Ford Rangers

There's a car I see regularly around my area driven by a woman and it has a registration with 'COW' at the end. It starts something like JS 52 and the car is clearly much newer so it is certainly a vanity plate. Unless her initials are in there somewhere, why the hell would you take pride in being thought of as a cow?

Maybe she’s a dairy farmer. Or an agricultural veterinarian.

Me, Mark Park. 
Ignore the C.

As I said, I wouldn't do it like that today & have the correct plates in the boot.

[JJ0063]

I have a couple of plates, nothing to write home about though. 
 

It’s all down to taste but incorrect spacing on any level looks shite IMO. @DVee8for example I like family plates and the ages bought for is a nice touch but  M40 and B18 would look so much better than M 40 and B 18, not to mention legal too!

A year or two ago when I was semi seriously looking at getting an MGF, I noticed the plate K5 HGF was available for about £250 on regtransfers. 

I never did buy an F as other expenses took priority, but in the meantime I notice the plate has disappeared from sale and appeared on... an MGF.
Bastard, that was *my* idea!

I've also got G17RKB

GI7 RKB? Isn't that's a bit harsh on yourself?

I guess it's less dangerous than if it was an H-reg.

More just an honest reflection on myself.

I've always had a deep dislike of prefix vanity plates.  Yet after a combination of too much gin, an (unusually) well paid month at work and the fact a colleague had splurged out on 4 plates in as many months I took the plunge. 

G2 VRL was what I decided upon. The RL to signify my Cornish roots.  I had the plates made up in old style font with an oversized rear which I really do like. 

That was 5 years ago next month and it's still on retention and the plates still in the jiffy bag they were sent in...  All my chod is old enough where it seems a shame to be plate raped - I always like the idea of being able to look up old chod.  Perhaps when I have 12 unusually well paid months in a row I can buy a daily new enough where it won't matter! 🙄😂

 

 

[Soundwave]

As the old joke goes, I'll probably just change my name to F207OSN.

[bigstraight6]

I’ve got an old Devon number that was on a MK2 Toyota MR2 I bought years ago, I kept it when I sold the car on and it’s subsequently been on a BMW E36, Toyota Celica and now this.

[hairnet]

Always wanted a 3 and 3 plate

If you put a plate on something it will still go back onto its original if you later take the plate off it.

I am aware of that tbf. I'm not one who changes their car frequently these days - in fact my £350 winter beater has been with me for 12 years! I'm always conscious that a previous owner might look it up and be faced with a 'no details held' scenario.

The correct spacing of that plate would be BO 551, so double wanker points!

 

I recently saw 60 VL on an Astra, but it had been fucked around with to read 60V l (that's a lowercase L). Way to make a decent plate look tacky!

[DavieW]

I really want the reg of my first moped (RSL199R) but DVLA say they don't re-issue old plates but "could" in the future auction it.

[Cavcraft]

On retention, I think I'll eventually find a 13 plate (or newer) scooter and get some rave scene graphics. The better version (AC13EED) can be entered into a DVLA auction at request, but whatevs. Unless someone on here has been D Mob'bed recently.

[rob88h]

This gets referred to as “Nob Easy” around here. 
 

And this one got an age related issue “PUB” as the GFS Edinburgh reg lost its paperwork. Naturally it shall become the pub bike (when it runs…)

Neither are private but had to contribute summat 🤷‍♂️

One of the skilled professionals at our local animal hospital drives a Tesla, registered BO51 VET, she and I had a fractured relationship until she asked me how long I’d had my cat. My response of, ‘We’ve had him since he was a puppy’, destroyed any understanding that we’d  ever had. I now visit a different veterinarian.
