the ultimate in 'look at me' 'look how important i am' 'look how successful i am' only a twat has a personal number plate

This without doubt.

Dont have a problem with private number plates,if they actually say what they read ie. KEV 1 or BM 1

But when you have to squint turn your head 45 degrees and stand on one leg to actually read what they say then i think you should give up on the pretence that you have a private number plate

For example i spotted one the other day M118RK N .... I think it was supposed to say Mark N

Thoughts ?

Don't mind ones that say the football club they follow or something say that's connected to a business. But I don't understand people who want their names as their number plate. Why? Do they think people go, "oh look there's M4TT H3W what a great guy in a great car"

Do they also wear name badges when they get out of their cars?

I like the C17 Y summat ones. The rest are wannabe aristos!

My City plate is pretty awesome if I do say so. Actually had supporters go down on their knees and do the we are not worthy bit in front of my car, while back: Wigan play-off semi and Blackburn promotion.


Mine's a C17 Y... summat
I like it not only because it City related but it hides the age of the car

Anybody with a private number plate is a complete twat in my opinion.

About 6 or 7 years ago I looked up the cost for a plate that read 4 LEX out of curiosity as my name is Alex. The cost then was £65,000 so who knows what the cost would be now. 65K is more than 3 times my annual salary before stoppages now. PM me if you fancy buying me a surprise Christmas present.

I agree. If it's a tasteful one, then when you have a car that doesn't change body style every couple of months, a private plate disguises the true age of the car to all but the most knowledgeable. Mine is one of the old style 'P' reg plates with my initials on the end and whilst it's obvious that it's not a 17 year old car, it could be anything from 7 years to 6 weeks old as the current model shape was first released in 2006.

personalised reg / tasteful - oxymoron. And if you think a private plate hides the true age of a car to all but your average car mechanic then you're clearly as deluded as everyone else driving round with the ultimate "Look at me. Prize twat" symbol.

Why the fuck would you think anybody has the slightest interest in knowing your name as you drive past in your 2003/4/5/6/7//8 - please tell us we can't guess what year titmobile?

I can think of about 5 people I know with personalised plates.

4 of them are twats.

And the other's a CUN7
 
I wonder if there's anyone who scoffs at private plates but has a nameplate on their house? Pretty much the same in my opinion. My ex missus parents had the name 'Park View' on their bungalow, even though you'd need a telescope to see a glimpse of any park. There wasn't one for fookin' miles.
