The MOT one is unreal though..

That's it, I'm off to that site for a few hours

[philoldsmobile]

I think I know the owner of one of those cars.. if its who I think, so does edge and hardrock!!!

[Fieldy]

Which car?

[philoldsmobile]

the silver mustang..

needless to say, the knobber who runs the site totally missed the point, and the plate is actually very clever, but only to those who know him.

i just cant get me head round the whole no plate thing surely it is no different to train spotting it appeals to the same geek part the brain of those folks that everyone takes the piss out of that sit at stations collecting numbers in the same slightly mental way but without spending silly amounts of cash on it

but the no plate thing is considered normal why

i wish someone could just XPL41N it to me

[Fieldy]

I would get a personalized number plate, but I wouldn't alter it to spell anything, I would wait for the right one.

It is just another way of making your car more your own

There is some serious crap on there, most of which if I was a police officer I wouldn't hesitate to pull over and throw the book at.

Hell I got fined some years ago for having a dirty number plate, these people are blatantly trying to deceive by altering what the number plate says.

Fine them....

Fine them good...

proves my point entirely

[HardRockCamaro]

When I had the Caddy I would have bought V8 STS if it had been available but someone already had it on a gold STS.  Basically to hide the age of the car and no funny spelling required.

I did look up up 1ROC for the Camaro but it was up for sale for £52,000 so erm, no thanks!

The Jeep came with a slightly dodgy spaced plate to try to spell JEEP (actually J99P) but I wasn't bothered about it either way.  If the guy had wanted to keep the plate and had offered me a couple of hundred quid off the car he would have been welcome to it...

Personalise your car buying a specific number plate = fine, hides age etc..

Yank plates with a UK reg = Cool (if you can get away with it).

German plates with a UK reg = Cool (if you can get away with it).

Personalise your car by buying a specific number plate then purposely modifying it to say something else = stupid and chav.

and be able to remember the dam thing

If you shop around they really aren't that expensive, the Panda Reg DIG 6859 was £50 + £80 transfer fee.
What a lot of people don't realize is that you never actually own the number in the UK
You only own the right to display it on your vehicle and if you purposely modify it to read something else, you can lose that right

I used to see an old Ford Fiesta XR2 with the registration number TANGO 5

Everytime I saw it I tried to work out what the real reg No. was, but it just said TANGO 5 ??????

Bearing in mind that there aren't many black XR2's around, I spotted it a couple of months later with TAN 60S

I think that is the purpose of that site to show that we all have rules to abide to when on the road, so when you really need to know what someone's number plate is, if you can't even read it as it should be - that is stupid, chav and inconsiderate.

Letters are letters.
Numbers are numbers.

It's OK imho to put them on a different style of plate, pre-72, yank, German etc - but as long as you can still write down the plate if needed.
