Noel Smith Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Picked up a brilliant comic number plate in Canada. It reads 'HORN BROKEN. WATCH FOR FINGER' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsty Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Not far from me I once saw a Toyota Starlet 1.3 Glanza Turbo. One of those classic Japlish names. The number plate was something like NOB 311D, with a carefully placed screw head between the 1s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fnick Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 One of my friends ages ago saw two Ferraris parked side by side. The first one's number plate was "NOT 1" and the second 's "BUT 2" When you have the money to buy two Ferraris you might as well brag about it!😄 Nick 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdave22014 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I've often wondered if anyone has MU51 CAL. Seems the type that DVLA would keep back and auction. Mind you, an old neighbour had LUV 150K (Love is okay) and tried to sell it to a wedding car company. They weren't interested so it went when the car was scrapped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Many years ago there was (very briefly!) a Mini Cooper S on Sydney roads with the rego "6UL DV8". Didn't take the rego authorities long to call it back; the real question is why they allowed it to be issued in the first place! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer matt Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 There is an entirely bland looking grey VW electric (Golf?) around here, with the registration B888BBB (which in number plate font has squared characters, so they all look pretty much the same). I used to see Y 1 1UV U quite often. I looked it up and its now on a Porsche but I seem to remember it being on an Espace or something. The most effective I have seen was JA51UAR with the 5 and 1 subtly making a G Finally, a local supplier of organic fertilisers and such has somehow got away with registering their delivery van JU57POO.

malpaso Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Saw a hideous (aren’t they all) Porsche SUV the other day in Alresford. I would have hoped who I assume owned it would have had better taste than to apply his BRDC badged P1ATO to such a monstrosity… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their business? Emptying cess pits..... I was once followed by a car with the registration T151OHW. Seen in the rear view mirror, I thought it very clever.

In which vein there's also Pimlico Plumbers, whose original fleet of vans all had plates that included words like LOO and TAP, plus some pretty inventive ones. Now they've been bought out and expanded and it's all got a bit boring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
