Custom number plates

[Doodler]

Saw this wanker plate yesterday on a red Land Rover with minor customisation:

BA55 DUD​

I bet the owner wanted BA55 DUDE instead but it obviously wasn't available. BA55 DUD will never bring them lasting happiness.

Cunt signs for cunts

Bass dud. What does that mean?


My dad has one which is our surname, I dread being gifted it when he hangs up his driving gloves.

I've probably posted this before somewhere, but anyhow...

A friend had A944 WAK on his Porsche, but it was the registration when it was first registered. A "lucky" event.

Is it a 944?

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

I only ask as there in an S4 in my office car park and the number plate is S5 FAV. Guess he used to have an S5 and needed an estate as he does bring a dog to work with him. I could always ask him I suppose, but speaking to people, nah...

Saw a 911 on the M5 years ago with the plate KN0B1

Maybe they couldn't spell 'Bastard'

I used to work with someone that had 60F.
He thought it would be worth a lot when Ferrari released the successor to the F50. They didn't

According to DVLA, it's still on the Pantera although it is SORN. (TBH I don't know if he still owns the car, but he was / is a larger framed chap, so maybe he can't get into it any more)

when the blue tory / yellow tory government was new in 2010, they had a website where they invited the public to make suggestions to improve the public finances.

one of my suggestions (before they blocked my e-mail address) was that they should double all the fees for personal number plate related stuff, and be honest and call it a 'twat tax'

 

[Sasaferrato]

The Lord Provost of Glasgow is ferried around in G0, which is the only '0' in the country. The owner of G1 wouldn't sell it, so 'G0' was created.

There is an Italian restaurant near me that does outside catering and they have a van all liveried up to that effect.
Its reg is PA55TA.
Quite like that

Funny ones are ok, but personalised ones suck a bit I think.

There were some executives for a company whose plates read SOD1 SOD2 etc (Special Operations Director) I believe, all on black 5 or 7 series BMWs.

There's a house near me that has two cars in the driveway.

I'm torn between 'funny' and 'fuck off' every time I go past

 

[skyscraper101]

Saw this in West London a while back

The Lieutenant Governor of Guernsey's plate is 1. Which is quite cool.

 

[pseudonarcissus]

I think this is one area in which the UK should adopt the American expression: "vanity plate", which is much more succinct than "personalised number plate".

It seems that A1 is on a Black 1.6L 2007 mini

ETA - I could have avoided looking it up on DVLA and started with Wikipedia

Don't whatever you do fall into the rabbit hole of google image search for custom such plates. It is a cesspit of twattishness

 

[mauvais]

It's not the only one, there is also S0 and V0. However I believe both have a similar tale.

There are various 'O' plates, like O2, O3 etc - I've seen one of these on the road once.

 

[og ogilby]

I used to see one A2 AWT which to my mind just read A TWAT.

Its MOT is due in February.

Here it would be possible to have 0000 OOO as a plate, but I’m not sure if it could be bought. It’s possibly the only one I would consider. I love the idea of the confusion and annoyance it would cause British police when I’m home. However, I think I might very quickly tire of it.

 

[skyscraper101]

I think this might be an expatriate

 

[Saul Goodman]

I think this might be a twat

Indeed

Recently I saw MI6 TOPS (or TOP, can’t remember for sure). Which I thought was particularly stupid even in the world of personalised number plates. Because either you work for MI6, in which case publicising the possibility you do and bringing attention to yourself should be the last thing you should do. Or you don’t, and you’ve paid thousands for a bizarre tribute to a government intelligence agency when a sticker would have done.

Bass speakers aren't working.

I'm pretty sure I once saw M16 Spy on a porsche on embankment once. Which is your example but twice as stupid.

DVLA says it is now on a BMW. I wonder if the luggage space is sufficient?
