The driver of that Aston Martin in my humble opinion, in order to state to people that he is a 0007SPY is a bell end of biblical proportions
If he is a spy them I think he cant be a very good one as announcing your role/number on your number plate and driving a very distinctive car is possibly contrary to the normal practises employed for spying.Anyway 0007, it is near but its wrong.
In a similar vein, used to be a guy in a ropey Esprit at the gym who had
TJI 5007 spaced as "TJ I5 007"
KUSSALL made me Laugh, do these people try these plates before putting them on cars ?

You may be missing the point fella. It doesn't matter how much a crappy plate costs, it can still be crappy. It is rare that a legally spaced plate on a nice car is crappy but Mr 8ond appears to have succeeded in doing just that.There are some utter utter disgracefully illegal plates on here which render OO07 SPY perfectly OK

You guys are pretty good at the number plate game. I am trying to find out the registration of a Vincent Meteor I saw today.
It was KRH 926.
I tried the DVLA site where you enter the number and make, but it doesn't accept Vincent, any ideas.
The details on the MID are:It was KRH 926.

That site accepts reg and make for more info, but doesn't like Vincent.

Nope, despite what you think he may (or may not) be trying to suggest, that plate does not belong in this thread. Its 100% legal.
This thread is for crap spacing and words trying to say something they actually don't. The one on the Aston matches neither of those criteria despite your view on the plate itself I'm with Doshy on this one. If it looks crap, and it makes me think of this thread, it gets posted. Legal or otherwise.
Perhaps you might turn your thread-policing attentions to the 'other' thread. The one where we're meant to put the "real good" plates, but seems, lately, to have been hijacked by many plates that very much belong in here.
Lets try a 'perfectly legal' test...
SAS 22 - on a silver 2003 Mercedes ML270.
You may think "nice plate, properly spaced, entirely legal".
I think "Hello Walt!" or "Who ya gonna be today, Huxley Pig?", as there's no way on God's green earth that a covert team of elite special forces troops would drive around with their unit ID as their registration number, and equally no way a genuine veteran of that unit would identify himself, in the current security climate, by having such a vanity plate. So, in my view, such a number plate, despite being perfectly legal, makes me think "saddo!" and I would therefore post it in this thread.
Now Steven Alexander Smith, born on the 22nd day of any given month, may have an entirely non-sad, legitimate reason for choosing that number/letter combination, but I cannot possibly know that, and my money is still on it belonging to a bit of a Walt...
You see how this "forum" thingummybob works? It's a place for opinions and debate. My opinion is different to yours, and neither could be quantified (at least on this subject) as being right or wrong. Me, personally? I'd never be so stiflingly arrogant as to suggest that someone else's opinion on this subject was wrong, nor would I seek to exclude anyone from posting a contribution to the debate. If I see an image of a plate I believe belongs in the "other" thread, I'll either post it there, or quietly roll my eyes and scroll on down.

Because you think someone is displaying something you have absolutely no conclusive evidence of, it's a crap plate? You said yourself that it might be said person's initials, that makes it a good plate and not worthy of being here. Post it up, I'd wager that the vast majority of people on this thread would disagree with you if you posted "SAS 22" legally spaced. If he had "Special Air Service" written in small writing below the plate then I might agree with you, but I'd want a photo of the plate and the writing when you posted it up!
all IMO, to keep you happy
