Personalised number plates - Best and worst

[TeaMonsta]

There are some really cringe-worthy ones out there. Worst I ever saw was:

Bravo One Six November Oscar Bravo

B16NOB

What a c*ck!

[si tate]

I'm waiting for mine to come on the market.....

S1 MON

Should only be about £50

[TeaMonsta]

I've seen CLA55Y, too.

[BUSHWHACKER]

They all read the same thing to me.

Too true - money better spent elsewhere!

Right with you on that, BW!

Too true - money better spent elsewhere!

Agreed.

The worst ones are the ones that don't really relate to anything; just a word on a number-plate for the sake of it. Like M3LON. And the owner has no connection whatsoever with fruit.

There are alot round this way with the first part of the post-code - AB51. And OIL1234 etc. (not far from Aberdeen).

Forgot to mention one I did see in Congleton, Cheshire - woman pulls up on double yellows outside high street shop in a SLK merc - plate was 5NOB - she certainly was one!
There seems to be a growing number of boy racers in hot hatches around here who insist on squeezing up the letters and numbers and putting the screw heads in the wrong place - and they still don't read anything

[TeaMonsta]

...plate was 5NOB...

Why do they feel the need? It's so naff! And offensive.

I've seen CLA55Y, too.

CLA 55Y made the news when it was issued, I remember watching it (I think it was on a Cortina?)! It was way before personalised plates became tradeable.

I don't mind them either way; some look naff, some look cool, I don't subscribe to the negatives about them. If someone wants to buy a different plate to the one they have; that's their business, not mine.

Remember, we all have personalised plates - so watch what you're saying about folk with more unusual ones than your own.

Personally, I'd have one if I could find the right one.

My favourites are:

W1 TCH on a Black M3 in Glasgow.
POT 80S on a fruit and veg van in Glasgow.
M1 NCE on a butcher's van in Camelon.

I regularly we a lovely brunette in an SLK AMG Merc with SEXXY as the plate.

Or SEXXXY. Can't count

Saw CUE 8OY with the 8 more like a B - it was Jimmy Whites car - He was doing a charity thing at Leek snooker centre.

[TeaMonsta]

CUE 8OY

Not cheap. Apparently, Paul Daniels' one was MAG1C. I heard of one which went for £100k odd - P1LOT.

A football chap paid almost £300k for one a while back.
