Personalised Number Plates
Anyone got them?
I've stumbled across one that pretty much fits my forename and surname enough to be "personalised" and not some S700 with a few initials after which, each to their own but I find a bit meh. If you're going to pay out I think it's worth getting something that doesn't just look like another generic reg plate..
Anyway with registration and all added extras.. like the perspex plates :shrug: :hehe: it comes in well under £400. Others I have seen have been double that and more again..
What are people's thoughts on personalised reg plates?

Re: Personalised Number Plates
I hate them with the same passion that Sludge hates Thatcher and Indie music.
Can't see the point in them.

If you don't want your money donate it to charity.

Re: Personalised Number Plates
Laughable most of them you see these days that scream "I'm a twat".
The ones that jam all the digits together and leave bigger gaps to spell some nonsensical word or name. WTF is that all about?
Personally I think personalised number plates are for T055 ERS.

They are club sad
You can understand Sam hammam having
C4RDIFF
He was a wealthy man , when it wasn't someone else's money
But some ordinary day to day couple spending a grand to get a number plate near to their surname ?
It's pathetic

I didnt know you could jam words together :hehe:
I'm a twat anyway, I drive a BMW so might as well go full twat :hehe:
I get what you mean about some of them, people who have nicknames or silly things like Mr cool or some other bullshit, what's so cuntish about your own name 👀🤣

Re: Personalised Number Plates
I bought one for my niece as an 18th birthday. Strictly for youngsters I think. Those illegal number plates with different fonts are awful.

I'm not that old 👀 and it's quite a basic number plate, unless you knew my name you wouldn't know. It's a basic £155 quid plate that I've stumbled upon that just fits nicely with my name, not one of them stupid ones you see...

Re: Personalised Number Plates
My nephew bought a second hand car which, by pure coincidence, has his initials as the 3 letters at the end. Accusations of conceit, ego etc are aimed at him, jokingly, at every opportunity to the extent that he can’t wait to change the car.
Some years ago I once contacted the DVLA about resurrecting a number plate that was on a car that my father once owned which would have brought back many memories. The letters don’t resemble my name ar all (unless I change my name to Jayne Mansfield!). However I was told that number plates on scrapped vehicles can’t be resurrected. Pity, it would have been nice for old times same.

If you saw it pass you by fella you'd have no idea I'd paid for it, like I said it isn't something obviously attempted like you see, hence why it's £155.
I wouldn't go for one of them ones that finds a way to spell out RICHARD or BO55 MAN as I agree they are stupid, as stated in my original post (I believe..hmm)
Someone's binned it off for a new plate..

In the interests of balance, I think it's a great idea, money well spent and your friends will be envious.

Nothing says I'm a narcissistic tosser like a personalised number plate.
They baffle me.

I knew the way the thread was going before posting. Getting the plates regardless, no rush as they'll be there for eternity.
Might get tinted windows and some nice big black alloys and a noisy exhaust.

Re: Personalised Number Plates
They're not something I would buy but I've never understood why they get quite so much hate.
If you like it and you want one get one and don't worry what people on here think.

I don't, but it's a board full of middle to old aged blokes. It was bound to go down like this..

You don't really fit the bill of middle/old aged misery though.

Re: Personalised Number Plates
I'll own up. I've got one. I bought a vehicle in 2003 with the registration plate on it. I later found out it was worth £3500 so I have transferred it to my vehicles ever since.

Good luck to him
You are a miserable tart and you are only 26
You need to sort yourself out

26 with a 15 year old daughter. I was a shagger in my day.
You've got the time to do it.

Re: Personalised Number Plates
I do appreciate a good private number plate.
I have one that’s my name - but been on retention for 18 years!
But working in the motor trade they are a pain in the arse to administer on and off of vehicles, especially when the grantee and the nominees don’t match up.
Also the time delay in getting the replacement retentions and V5C.

There is absolutely no doubt that personalised plates are part of an ego trip of monstrous proportions.
My wife has them.

Sadly the Vegan van has gone on to a new home. Much as we loved doing it , our time is more precious these days .
Other than that I don't associate with my age in any shape or form .
