Never thought my silly post would develop into a discussion on number plates, but just to keep it going, some years ago I came across PAR50N. This got me thinking, and in my opinion religious types have rather too many opportunities for this sort of thing. I'm sure somebody already has V1CAR, B15HOP, RAB81, 1MAM, PR11EST... I'm sure there must be others.

What gets me are the ones which are obviously meant to say something, but it's so obscure that it obviously only means something to the owner. At least it is reasonably clear what ours is meant to say. I just wish I could have afforded WH.......

Cheers,

The best one I have seen was an old clapped out Robin Reliant, done up to look like it belonged to the Trotters, registered DEL 80Y

There seems to be a few numberplates beginning BO55...

I wonder if these number plates were on cars belonging to those of the married female persuasion?   

Bad seems to be a Porsche thing, a Porsche 944 in Glasgow

I followed on the A1 (in a traffic jam) a Porsche it's plate was PEN15..

I read many years ago in a motorcycle magazine, the plate was on one of those, blue mobility scooters, why? Well the owner was a ex motorbike racer who'd had a serious accident..
Needless to say the scooters pathetic 175cc engine had been replaced by a near full race 750cc engine...

Note this one I posted sheepishly a couple of years ago:

i saw a white Roller in Chiswick with WOM 13, and PEN 15 has also been seen there!

PEN 15 is/was owned by one of the registration plate dealers on IIRC a smart car. There was some controversy when one of the tabloids refused an advert featuring it (which got them plenty of free publicity in the rival publications!    )

Steve Parrish used to have PEN1S. I saw it at Brands Hatch many moons ago. The number plate that is. I think he sold it on soon after though.

Similar but not quite the same is this one which coupled with the mini is quite funny.

I think we know what these folks did last night (but it might not be here long!)

I hope they got dressed before going to KFC but then maybe they had a home delivery

In which case, I hope one of them got dressed before answering the door 

Maybe they are the home delivery?

I've seen K3VIN on a Discovery, GTY 50 N, a few years ago, and RF 05 TER on a van nearly every day on my commute when 05 was current(ish).
