I saw this reg today......made me smile ::)
It was attached to a Merc SL600 V12 twin turbo ....and even with 6litres and twin turbos it could not out accelerate my 2.2 :D My 2.2 stayed just feet away from his rear bumber at all times :y
It was the m25 and rushhour, so that MIGHT have had something to do with it ;D

PEN 15 is a good one ;D

Max & Paddy's Fiat Campervan
BOL 10X
Maybe it was Peter Kay's Merc.

The DVLA were meant to be trying to eradicate 'naughty' number plates years ago, 'PEN1S in particular, but I've seen quite a few B**LOCKS plates that have slipped through the net.
I also saw one that said TITTIES, but I'm damned if I can remember how it was made up.

Fairly sure you're not allowed the 'I', but nice try.
It's actually a bit of a pastime of mine. I regularly make up words or phrases out of the plates I pass on a long drive.
It helps wyle <sp?> away the hours!!

Don't want to offend anyone but i always liked the idea off P155 OFF when i was younger!

NOB 3D - No offence!!

PEN 15 and WOM13 used to belong to a guy who had a pub down in yalding in kent he had them for years on his and his wifes cars more people used to go to the pub for the plates than the beer
my fav is owned by an old friend of mine his dad got it for him years ago it was his initals and the age he passed his test
SH17 he has had loads of fun with it over the years and has had two sets of plates for the car one correct the other with the 7 modified just a little he used to have to switch them at least once a week
Tanker :y
-
There was an '60's pop video, (Can't remember what song!), that featured a Cobra with the plate 'RAM 1T'. Loved that one.
And then there was the '90's soap, (Damned if I can remember that one either!), with the Corvette that had the US plate I8A4RE. (I ate a Ferrari!!) 8-)
If it's not that one, I've seen something similar to the SH17 one somewhere on the M1.

Thats possible should have been on a top line car last time I saw him it was on a ivory rolls corniche dont know what hes driving now as no more rolls as far as he was concered
-
Local driving instructor in Carlisle has PA55 YET on his. Nice touch.
-
No offence to anyone who's got one, but I personally think plates with your initials are lame. I really like plates that say something tho'.
I've always wanted B16 ROD. Dunno why, it just kind'a appeals to me.
(Actually I had the chance of it about 8 years ago, but had other things to spend the £1000 on, so never got it. Wish I'd just taken the plunge!! Similar plates are now £2k+ ::) )
-
My meegas an import from Northern Ireland, plate starts with SIL ;D ;D
-
i kid you not i saw this a few weeks or so ago, days before halloween.
W 1 TCH - Pieced together on the plate of a BLACK 911
-
Well, TBH, my fave at the mo' is on a Black RX8. The plate is something along the lines of R881ACK.
With a few strategically placed screw heads, it could look a bit like Rod Black.

Next Tuesday I am going up to Birmingham to see one of my customers, their MD offered my a lift as he will be travelling from London, I almost said no because I kind'a like letting my 'meega stretch its legs from time to time, but then a colleague pointed-out a car in the street to me and said that this was the MD's car - a brand new S600 AMG V12. So I said yes... :) Only problem is that he has a chauffeur, so it's back seat driving for me, I wonder if I could talk him into giving the chauffeur a day off and letting me take the helm of this baby...
-
A nice one spotted in West London - nor particularly cheeky, but well-suited to the car:

I've seen a bog standard Saxo with P155 AFF...looked like it was registered as that.
Also there's a Bently GT Continental with ... VI 51 BLE :y

Went with my grandad last year to a DVLA auction. XTR 41L was up and as he had just bought a new XTRAIL thought it would be the perfect plate 8-) Guide price was 600 quid, sold for 1300 quid, not to my grandad as the tight git said it was toooooooo expensive. Spent 22 grand buying the car and another 3 grand pimping it up but wouldn't buy the plate for 1300 quid :o

Typical bloody X5 owner....parked on a cycle lane.
My a favourites are;
4 KOF and 4 COF
-
A mate of mine, called Ben, owns a wine bar called Benis.....i went with him a few years ago to a DVLA auction.....he splashed out iirc about £2600 on a plate......can you guess....BEN 1S
At my suggestion he put the address of his wine bar at the bottom of the plate and shoved it through his books as advertising costs ;D

My bruv has S1HTE on his Mitsubishi Warrior (viewers in West and Central Scotland may have seen it) and from a distance it does look like SH!TE. So much so that even the local plod have pulled him twice for it. ;D

Saw DEV1L a few years ago, also there used to be an ex-page 3 bird used to drive around our way with 5EXY......and she was......very ;) :D
-
Just seen J33POS on a jeep grand cherokee which makes me wonder are they trying to say J33P OS or especially if one of Theolodian's countrymen was reading it J33 POS (Gee piece of s**t) ;D

Hey everyone . .thought I would say Hi . . . . I am the driver of the SL600 Twin Turbo, with the Plate BOL10K
I found this thread through a search on the internet (accident) . . .
My dad Drives an Omega, which I bought him last year with the Plate R38 ERT . . . and my name is Robert, so that was a nice touch (plate was already on the car . . luck!)
If my memory serves me correct, did you not take a picture with your phone? . . .I think I remember you looking ..
If anyone is interested, the car has been modded.
It has an uprated ECU and Flow Air pack . . .Currently it is 616bhp and 912 NM torque . . . .tell you what though, It goes past everything . .except a petrol station . . humph!
In Feb (when the warranty runs out . .gulp! ) . . .it will get the full treatment . .717bhp and 1108 NM Torque . .apparantly that beats anything on the road for mid range acceleration . . .boy I cant wait to have my organs shuffled with! . .
-
nice if you can afford it ... trouble is once you've had a quick car, you just want more ;)
but one of the best reg's for women was one I saw on a car heading towards London from Kent, exiting the M20 to join the M26 ...
B1TCH
... I bet that cost a bit, but .... ;D

Hiya and welcome :)
I did mess about with my phone......but it was new and never used the camera on it before....plus dark....and couldnt get the zoom function to work....so in fear of crashing into the back of you and getting pulled by the old bill for using a phone while driving i gave up ::)
PS remember cambelts and tensioners need changing every 40k/4 years ......dunno if that applies to a SL600 tho
;D

I saw BOL 10X on a 5 series Beemer in Ely about 6 months ago...I nearly crashed the truck from laffing so much!! ;D ;D
And last week in St Ives (near Cambridge) I saw P19 STY on a pink Ford KA, and guess what it had on the rear shelf....a nice big collection of piggies ;D ;D (not real ones!! ;D )
Its amazing what people will do to make their car stand out from the rest....
-
Hi BOLIOK and welcome. A word of warning....dont be talking too much about that heap of sh*te that you drive. Go and buy a proper car, possibly an omega :y

I seem to remember it belongs to Steve Parish (ex bike racer and truck racer).
I spent a lot of time at race tracks when I was younger, can you imagine the look on a 13 year olds face after seeing that ;D (was on a Mercedes 190 Cosworth at the time)
I thought it was highly amusing!!!

Thirsty
Expensive to run (and thanks for the warning about the cam belts .. oh pants!0

You have just made my day m8 :y,...... I'm getting slated for wasting 50 bucks on an air filter that I will probably never use now ::)...I think the morale of the story here is that u should have bought a second hand 3.2 MV6, and irmschered it up, you would have saved a few barrowloadsa cash....and built a 4 bed house in Thailand with stunning views :y

Were a nice bunch, we will talk to anyone really as long as theyre not a complete prat.

Hey, listen you lot . . . do I get the impression I am cannon fodder . . .
One of you said a Tenner!
Another about buying a (MV6?) instead and tuning it up!
Woah hang on everyone . . . . A full Ten Pounds . .sorry, dont believe you . . .
MV6 and tuning it up . . . . I suppose the ten pounds could come in handy then . . hmmm
Thinking . ..
Na . .think I will keep the car and Blow another 20K on an engine mod . . . This way the ex cant get the dam money . .
Thats a seriously good enough reason guys (sorry girls) . . . if you gonna get divorced,
Spend all your money on a car and then plead that your credit rating is shot to bits, so you cant buy another . .that way when it comes to argueing the settlement, you claim you need the car for work and cant purchase another . . .
Answer . . . .you get to keep it . . . . . .
Hence my number plate . . .Thats a reference to my Ex and her Lawyers . . . .B******ks to the lot of them . . .lol
Ha ha . .
Still like the sound of the tenner though mate . . .. hmmm.
