New car reg's

Personal plates are for knobends anyway.

I toyed with the idea when I discovered that my ham radio callsign would be available at the minimum price, and it wouldn't be too obvious.

Then I thought maybe I might have some enemies through amateur radio exchanges, and decided that only knobends have them. ;-)

For a Ham Callsign, you'd get away with it as 99.9% of the population wouldn't realise and unless you had 10m/2m/whatever antennas on, most Hams would just muse that it was like a UK callsign.

It's far far better than an assortment of letters and numbers arranged to form or look like someones name.

Yes, there is that...

The worst plate I've seen is on a Humvee type vehicle which sometimes parks at the supermarket on the double yellow lines right outside the main doors.

The number is B16 CUN, and the guy who waddles out of it fits it perfectly. ;-)

When I see this I always think: Why didn't they spend the money on a better car?

Have you noticed that they're always on 'Penis Extension' cars i.e BMW's,Range Rovers,disco's and other unreliable tat :-)

My knobend is unregistered.

Must be because you can't afford one.....

And??? so i want to be a nobend, is that a crime or something?

usually because they cant afford a new car every six months, so the private plate hides how old the car really is.

all i want is to be able to choose the letters in my new car's rego number, it wont make up anything that will mean anything to anyone else except me or my friends, it's doesnot read a name or anything,

"gazz" gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

Ask the dealer. I wouldn't have thought they'd be willing to deal with a different registration office, just to fit in with your whim.

My car is really old. An L, but really nice car nevertheless. One day it did break down and I called RAC. I told the young lady the registration over my mobile, but she kept answering back: "AL", "ALFA LIMA". "No, no it's an L plate", I kept shouting. "Yes, ALFA LIMA", was her reply. It took several attempts before the coin finally dropped at the other end. LOL!

johannes gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

None of my cars are that new. Only one is on a prefix.

The worst example of numberplate worth far more than the car it was attached to was in a village I lived in. The next door neighbour had RH77 on a shagged out Renault 5. It carried that plate for a few years.

Cost is not the issue.

I refer you to a thread elsewhere.

Old money, but fallen on hard times.

Very hard, if they lived next door to you.

Personal number plates tell us just one thing - that the car's owner has more money than sense.

Nope, iz cuz i dun wanna look stopid.
