Me too, so that’s two of us bell ends thenI do have a personalised plate on my Porsche - let the abuse begin
It spells my surname with no mis-spacing or spurious substitutions (well a number 1 for a letter I, but they are identical in the official number plate font)

Used to belong to Tim Dutton whose company made kit cars and also tried to market strange amphibious cars . Back in the late 80s he would pull up outside Jonesy's Bar in Worthing and try to impress the ladies.

No I think you need to be driving an E-Type to carry that moniker.
BTW as someone, who I think, is a non driver you really haven’t got to grips with UK number plate layouts have you?
Strange though, isn’t it, people buy rare books, 45s, collect art or have tattoos because they like them, but number plates perish the thought. live and let live, doesn’t harm anyone, does it?

In my humble view, the only acceptable character mappings on a UK number plate are a letter I for a number 1 or a letter O for a number 0

Yes, except these aren't displayed for all the world to see. Plus other people might be interested in specific books, records etc. but nobody is interested in a reg plate like for example Y444EMM which is one I saw this week. I actually look out for them while driving as I find them a source of amusement and help pass the time on long journeys.Strange though, isn’t it, people buy rare books, 45s, collect art or have tattoos because they like them, but number plates perish the thought.
It is actually quite alarming how many there are out there.
EDIT - I'm not sure if the plate I saw was EXACTLY this but the last 3 letters were which I'm sure is the point.

There seems to be a vogue around this way of having a plate with the owners initials then 444 and then their wives/husbands initials/abbreviation. I guess it must be love.
As for those ridiculous 3d letters, even less point then a personalised plate!

So they do have a good purpose, they keep you amused on long journeys.

Take that point, whereby mine is three letters and three numbers both of which mean something to me, but yes, just me. I have a few cherished plates which I buy and sell very occassionally, i.e. FA66 ENG, not for everyone, but someone, one day, will pay a good price for it.
There's a few knocking about amongst the Moderating team

Even worse than a personalised plate. In my mid 20's I had a girlfriend who had a metallic blue XR3 convertible. A bit girl racer but what took the biscuit was the her name ' Amanda " emblazoned on the rear wing above the petrol cap. I tolerated it........................mainly as she had big tits!
