In the uk for the last ten years or so the new number plates have been made up of two letters, two numbers then three letters. The numbers represent when the car was first registered.
When the '55' plates came out I looked for "RU 55 ELL" to spell out my name. It would have been mine for a cool £150,000 ! Didn't bother in the end!! |

The Q1 plate owned by our resident Hairdressing King comes to mind.

I have the euro design plates which were $500 odd when they were released but I just cant justify $2K..... its absurd. For a short while I had an acquiescence who bought plates and sold for profit. He considered this a full time profession - give me strength! |

OOOSQ,
Have you written a review of the new car yet? With pictures?

haha, hard to be inconspicuous with that plate I guess.
I was in Midland for a Can Am - Spyder demo ride day.

I always get a laugh at the Can Am commericals they show here in San Diego. They show the male driver and then as the narration says "You've ridden some things hard in your life", they pan the shot to his wife or gf.

Interestingly enough, and through some weird act of fate, my new X3 will be on a 12 plate and on the DVLA there is a regular plate for £600 which spells my last name if you accept the 2 as a T.
It's quite freaky and super cool, but for some reason it just doesn't look very nice when I mocked it up on an X3 build photo, so I haven't bothered. Really, I always wanted HOR53Y but when it was available it was stupid money HO12SEY would also be ok, but it doesn't seem to exist ... or was sold already!

I have recently purchased (for the X3 when it arrives) a plate that is my first initial, a lucky number repeated 3 times and three letters that are recognisable as my surname (my surname is 5 letters, but there is an obvious 3 letter abbreviation). Cost £200, so was worth it. If anything better comes along, can always change.
My husband has his initial, the lucky number once, then the same 3 letter abbreviation of our surname. Looks cooler than mine, but wasn't still available with my initial |

I was thinking of getting the personalised plate "TEBITEERF" here in China. Of course nobody would be able to make any sense of what it means, until you see it in your rear view mirror!
I am sure the license office would not politically accept the reversed writing. One way of getting your political message across. |
