    Just seen a few lately that make me laugh. I’ve never bought a new car and probably never will. But I presume you don’t know your reg plate before you pick it up.

    Imagine eventually doing it and buying a new one. You drive to the showroom with your wife, who’s just has her hair permed for the occasion and your new pride and joy has KAK or even better FOF written on it :eek:

    I still get lots of folk pointing at and talking to me about the "OMG" numberplate on our bus!

    That is class - and must genuinely be worth a fortune. Imagine what Alan Partridge would pay for that

    I always chuckle at the ones that make no sense to no one but the owner

    Saw this one in Sheffield. I figured it was someone involved with snooker. Fortunately it says Whirlwind in little writing at the bottom to give a better clue :)

    my dad’s neighbours have personalised plates on their cars ones which have 2 numbers and two letters so they must be worth a bit. Tho to be fair the cars are collectively worth over £500K!

    Now that’s what I mean! Having an amusing reg is funny if you’d paid for it. But I like the idea of people that just want a normal car being lumbered with something rude. Poor old Victor :rolleyes:

  15. A truly apposite registration plate, but the web address is just a brilliant piece of thinking:lol:

    My father had RL 23 on his old mini automatic, in the 70’s.
    The number plate was a coincidence as that was his initials.

    He sold the plate for £6,800 to Elite Registrations, in 1990.
    The mini went for £2000.
    It was a wreck.

    When we had the Pharmacy I used to make up a cough mixture called F11 - the 11th formula in my book. It was the one that sold best, until making stuff became a bit of an issue as regards liability. But I had F11 BjB on my cars for a while until I sold it on.

    When I bought my first car I saw A11 LLL (All Hell :cool:) and my initials are LLL but I didn't have the £800 at the time. Oh well.
