Best Personalised Number Plates

[jack the lad]

Post your favourites here. Not the naff 'JTL 1' type - but the ones that raise a smile -

My favourite, which I saw this week on the M1 - B44 BAA - on a livestock transporter. Takes over as the champ from AR51 GET, on a Range Rover.

There's one I've seen here in Leicester a few times I wouldn't mind having: MAZ 123

On the back of a red Porsche 911T

TUR 130 (TURBO)

I've seen a number of versions of "TURBO" on Porsches - I think they're pretty good.

My faves are COM1C and MAG1C. The former I believe is on a car owned by Jimmy Tarbuck and the latter belongs to Paul Daniels.

Pimlico Plumbers also have a lot of their vehicles with plates that are themed around plumbing which are quite good.

I like that (but not a lot).

Best one I saw was 816 JON which loks nowt written down but the way he had it, it was BIG JON.

My mate in Dundee has a Volvo with the plate NES 5Y which he of course has made to look like NESSY and he's been offered fortunes for it.

My old boss had 1 GNU and again, she was offered fortunes for that.

The funniest one though was a mate of mine in Liverpool who sold it on in the end as he was sick of being pulled by the cops every time he left the house. It was FU 999.

Gnu, it's an animal like a wilderbeest. She was always being done for speeding as well (with good cause - according to her; she'd be racing from one hopsital to the next) and apparently the cops on the radio used to say stuff like, "That Gnu's racing down Queens Drive again" and such like.

I saw a good example near Victoria station in Manchester once. The car was really hot-looking - I think it was a Ferrari or a Lamorghini but I can't be sure (it was years ago and I'm not into cars). Very low-slung, fast, and definitely a babe-magnet. The number was 'SEX 1'. I couldn't help thinking though that it probably belonged to a guy with a tiny penis...

The MD of a company I worked at once owned '[His initials] 1'. I discovered that he paid £25k for the plate. This was in 1986 and I paid about that for my house in 1988. Obviously, owning that number was somehow supposed to impress people. I suppose it is like owning expensive Jewellery - it's a public demonstration of wealth and the more pointless the item, the bigger the statement one is making. I'd have been more impressed if he'd made do with a standard plate and had given the money to Shelter.

fancy #plates are for real saddos - why not spend the money on a customised paint job ?

One of my Sikh colleagues bid for one that said S1NGH, he lost the bid but went up to £30K before it got too expensive. It went for over 100K in the end. Saw DB7 illegally parked on Edgware Road many years ago on an Aston Martin DB7, I assumed it was from a showroom until some muppet with the same initials and used to wear a red shirt with number 7 on the back got in and drove off.

Could he get done under the trades descriptions act for that?

Still looking for a BMW with

TO 55 ERS on it.





(not for me I hasten to add!)
