To be fair, I think I'd snigger slightly if I saw it, but probably wouldn't want anyone to think I'd chosen it.

After a lifetime thinking private plates were a bit naff I finally succumbed last year. When I was well along the process of buying an SL I bought OH10 RDW to go on it because it's not too obviously try-hard and it makes me smile. Unfortunately, for various reasons, I still haven't bought the SL, including that the car I was planning on trading in developed a minor but obvious fault that I've been chasing ever since, and I'm no longer doing the job I wanted it for anyway.

I could put it on the E63 but I never really imagined Janis as a fast estate kind of lady, so I'm now sort of forced to buy a convertible Mercedes to go with my numberplate whether I want one or not. The crosses we have to bear...

As a Worthing resident as a kid the only plate I really want is Tim Duttons old TOO 510W (was on a gold Countach when I was a kid) that sold a few years ago on CC....I should have tried to buy that.....

Is that anything like a sex worker?

Sort of, but I do the rogering...

Perhaps hoping for a tug from the Police?

Very good.

Technically not a Personal Plate but back when I was finalising the purchase of my 2003 TVR Griffith 500 SE I browsed DVLA or whichever plate selling website & my eye was drawn to . . . MY53 GRF . . . so i snapped it up!

So I just bought this plate, never owned a private plate, always thought they were a bit sad/tacky.

Then I saw something like W44 NKK on a golf a few years ago that made me laugh..out loud......like a child. This is a well used negative term between me and my immature, middle aged friends.

I am middle aged. Finance worker. I have a wife and small child.

Got a bit of a bonus so thought I'd treat myself....wife won't allow me to put it on our sole, family car (c63 6.2 wagon) so I'll need to wait until I can get something else too.

Have I lost my mind or am I a comedy genius?

Discuss.

I read the plate as intended in the title. Would make me chuckle if I saw it. Love silly plates, great purchase!

I saw ‘loopy’ in car park on time and thought that was great. Something like L100OPY. Fab!

I wish you'd told me, I'm looking to sell KN03 FUN.

It is of course vulgar to talk about money...



... but how much did you pay?

£399. I know...

That's a reasonable price IMO.

I was worried you might have dropped ££££s on it in a private transaction - eBay etc. is awash with people pricing mediocre (at best) plates at, er, 'aspirational' levels.

Aston Martin used to have OGO 2L on their Press cars.

I'm confused, what on earth do you think this plate 'says'?

Yep. My exact thoughts.

[eldar]

I had a Sierra as a hire car. It was beige, and had the reg BAD 130Y

Still in use, on an Audi.

[J__Wood]

When I was a youth my mate's father had RAF 80Y from new, can't believe he never sold it to a pilot.

It’s a bit of fun so whatever makes you chuckle go for it. Good for you

Are you really ready?

NNK Sports Bar and Grill are open and want to take your order!



Choose from a range of delicious foodstuffs such as the cheddamelt or chicken strips and chips! All items on the menu cost less than R60! No idea what 'R' is? Don't worry, nor have we. But all we will say is that you'd better be R'sed to get yourself to NNK Sports Bar and Grill. Where are we? We don't know. Wherever they pay for things with 'R', we assume.



Q: What is 'cheddamelt'

A: A demigod worshipped by the ancient toothmug people of Greater Australasia between 5,000 and 4,999 BC.

Q: Who wants to see a chicken strip?

A: Not me, you weirdo

Q: Where can I exchange Sterling for R?

A: The NNK Bureau de Change, next door to the sports bar. Catch the NNK Bus Lines 39C from the High Street to get there: a one way ticket only costs R3 (cash only).

Like most on PH, I look at cars/plates more than the average person probably does.

I might guess that the plate W44 NKK was an attempt at spelling W*NK.

W66 NKK not so much.

Wouldn't have spent £400 on either personally, but if it gives you a laugh then why not.

[lord trumpton]

If I saw that on a car I'd assume the driver was a bit of a thick knuckle dragging melt tbh

[Gericho]

This w*nker bought all the other combinations.

[LuS1fer]

R is rupees or a sporty Golf.

[Glenn63]

Do whatever puts a smile on your face. To many people, especially on this forum, put their own pleasure to the side as they’re to worried of what others might think.

Are you talking about a number plate or some actual fun? OPs wife might be interested depending upon which one you're selling .

I do think this is key, it needs to be on the right car. A Golf R with popz'n'bangz would be ideal. Or a really ratty 90s saloon. Put it on anything expensive and people will just make snap judgements about how you paid for it.

Except W reg came out in March 2000 so no ropey 90s metal will be sullied by it.
