Far too many shite personalised plates around these days, not a fan of plates that try to spell a name by using numbers as letters, most are illegal anyway.
I did laugh at a Porche I saw about 20 years ago near Heathfield with the plate Bollox :D

I don’t mind BHA plates though

This sort of thing doesn’t impress me, nice car ruined by a shite plate.

Have you not seen the Omen?

I’d be watching my back after that comment if I was you (look out for crows in particular).

Sadly not! I just keep an eye out on my drive home, ready to tell the wife my exciting finds when I get home. BHA ones are a dime a dozen so they’re no good to me.

Saw a purple Scirocco the other day with a Muse sticker in the back window- looked down and the number plate was MU53 FAN. Come on, gotta admit that’s good

A guy in the car park at work has DA59OLF (das Golf) on his VW.

There's a car in the business next door, R50WLS

either he's into birds of the night, or a play on ********s, or maybe that's just my warped mind ;-)
 






look retro and a bit european.
Car number plates used to be raised and guess the change came around "J" reg 1967 or there abouts when the yellow and black lettered plates on yellow appeared.

My first car was an old Beetle reg. PG 181 when we sold it offered it to PG Tips sadly not interested. Must be landfill by now.

I have a personal plate on my Honda Monkey Bike.

It's not a big motorcycle, just a groovy little motorbike.

This was taken during the Reading Christmas Toy run if you are wondering why Santa is on the bike in front of me :)

What would the 4V mean? Sorry, not getting why this is so expensive?!

Nothing to us but maybe to somebody and this is the old old style number plates (pre 1983) and the fact it is less digits that's normal, being more prestigious.

You used to be able to get a single number after the first letter direct from DVLA for the 1984 to 2000 plates, for example S5 BHA. But all the single numbers seem to have been taken off the site and only double numbers+ now.

Up to £3k!

You can get very cheap BHA ones now I think? Like £200?

Start at £250 now for the current and previous regs.

I’m thinking of getting a £250 one! More subtle than having your name etc.
