Ever since she learned that W1TCH was issued by the DVLA, my girlfriend has coveted it. Regrettably, it seems to be attached to a diesel C Class.

I did see FUN 805S out and about (plug in Panny by the look of it) which does seem to have gone full David Brent.

That’s insanely cringe

One of my favourite hobbies is finding these lovely people who, space the number plate wrong or put screws in places to change letters, then giving out tickets.

They almost always say something like “shouldn’t you be dealing with real criminals”. If your number plate wasn’t so cunty I would be! Plus I treat the tickets as a nice digestif after coming back from “real criminal” jobs on the way to the nick.

Almost always mouth breathers and plucked eyebrows (irrelevant of gender).

The real icing on the cake is when they get caught more than a few times and applying to the DVLA to get the plate number removed so no one can use it again.

Thank-you so much for shining your brilliant light into the fathomless depths of my ignorance. I had no fucking idea about these widely known and blindingly-obvious facts.

I’ve had a rare venture out today to meet a client at The Belfry - on arrival I have never seen seen so many personalised number plates in one place at the same time in the car park :see_no_evil:

Must be a joke - a real egomaniac wouldn’t drive a Bristol Brigand, as they are hugely expensive but recognised by almost nobody.

Yep, Golf clubs are full of cunty number plates (and Z4s to whoever it was up thread who mentioned them.)
Peter Alliss famously had PUT 3 on his Rolls Royce

He would have been a much more succesful golfer if he didn’t.

A colleague had ‘KETCHUP’ on his Slovakian 'plates…

In Purley there’s a Toyota with B16DUM which has a mis-placed bolt so as to read BIG BUM…

I bought a car and got free private plates, think it’s a cool look as 3 numbers and 3 letters, means nothing to me and not clever in any way but it looks nice as a 3x3 on my disco

Apparently it’s worth a grand but only if your initials are pyb (mine are not)

Ok, well full disclosure as the thread instigator…

I bought a Clio RS200 as a cheap (turned out not to be) B-road / track car and it came with this plate. Left it on as thought it would be help sell the car on /couldn’t handle faff of changing plate.

I felt ok about it. So maybe I’m as bad as the rest of them

Unless your name is Clio of course

Anyone remember FU 2. Owned by a lady in a magazine a friend told me about.

FU 2’ as owned by Paul Raymond, Club Continental, 2 Bolt Court, London EC4. It was assigned to a primrose yellow e-type Jaguar owned by his then girlfriend Fiona Richmond

Wonder where it is now?
