Title: The number plate Game
Post by: Jools on June 09, 2008, 11:41:42 am
OK, I am bored beyond belief being a passenger and decided to find new ways to amuse myself - hence the number plate game.......... ;)
The simple idea is to find the coolest/daftest/blingest/most inappropriate personalised plates on the road.
The only rule is you must actually spot them on the road - not ones you think up in a carlesberg haze, or spot for sale in autotrader! :-\
Extra Kudos for a piccy, (taken by your willing passenger of course) 8)

Heres the one that started it off - in the "Who on earth would pay for that" category!! ???

We need pics they are so much funnier when you can actually see the plates :D

Am I the only driver who has a passenger that carries a camera with them just incase  ;D ;)

Post by: ChrisW on June 12, 2008, 11:30:56 am
I'm usually on my own in the car, or teaching, neither of which allows me use of a camera, lol. However, the 'best' one I've seen was when Cee and I had to leave the Skipton meet to get her to Newcastle airport (all legally, honest). It was and Aston drop-top with WH05E DB, so I hooned it past the flash tw@t ;D ;D

The two best I've seen were VAN 17 Y (vanity) on a Chevette!! (was mint tho) :o

And a lad with a streetfightered Fireblade, A 12" NOB  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Not bad - was kicking myself yesterday, didn't spot one till he was leaving the drag strip. I'd been taking pics all day and didn't get one of his plate.  :-[
The owner of "Wizard of NOZ" nitrous systems has a Volvo with this rather cool reg.......

W12 NOZ

think it only works if you know who they are tho.  :-\

I've been trying to spot a local farmer who has a white Landy with the reg P 1 GGY, but he's not been around!  >:(
More daft ones from Fridays run out.

Crap, but I'd bet it cost a few notes........

(http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/jools-1/DSCF0794.jpg)

Hmmmmm, I wonder what his name could be??

(http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i243/jools-1/DSCF0800.jpg)

My Favourite so far - does this guy like a drink or what?

Also spotted T 8 OMO on an Audi cabby, but he was driving like a complete "omo"

i love that plate and would love it for mines, but i have a trick card up my sleeve its just the plate ain't released til next year, but i have it taken off the register already, i just have to bid on it when it comes to auction
Title: Re: The number plate Game
Post by: Driveby on July 11, 2008, 06:59:37 am
Ive never bid on an auctioned plate before though I think it can get expensive.  A mate of mine was after D3LTA for one of his Integrale's, he bid upto £1.5k but it went for waaay more :(
Good luck on the auction and c'mon spill the beans, whats the plate? :)  PM if you dont want it public  :-X

Saw a couple today on a drive out but I'm not as quick on the camera as Jools is so didnt get any pics.

One was for a Yaris though and was something like Y11 RIS though, cant remember the other now  :-\

Post by: paul_gt4 on July 13, 2008, 07:27:27 pm
yeah you guys get it handy though as you's are governed by the DLVA i'm governed by the DVLNI and to put an English Plate on a Northern Irish car we have to pay for it to be transferred to an English car first then onto a NI car, it can't be done direct and most Number plate companies over here charge a minimum of £117.50 +VAT plus the 80quid transfer, its a balls tbh
