I saw "P4 SPY" on an Aston Martin today. The owner clearly has delusions of being James Bond. 
Yes, couldn't possibly be any other explanation for it could there? 
The thread title is "what CRAPPY personalised plates have you seen recently?", not "what personalised plates have you seen recently?". Some people seem to have trouble telling the difference.

Not really. The plate itself is not worthy of inclusion in the thread on any grounds so the grinning emoticon is neither here nor there.

Nope. I'm with Jon on this. P4 SPY on an Aston is crap.The thread title is "what CRAPPY personalised plates have you seen recently?", not "what personalised plates have you seen recently?". Some people seem to have trouble telling the difference.

A gorgeous Mercedes-AMG GT with the plate "W7 WKD". Seriously???
Seriously what?A gorgeous Mercedes-AMG GT with the plate "W7 WKD". Seriously???
If it was properly spaced with a proper font etc I think it's just an average personalised plate. I wouldn't bother getting such an average plate, but I can't see a problem

Much like posting up "BWM" plates when seen on BMWs.

Indeed you do. Now stop being so precious.

Seriously, what exactly is your problem with me?
In my opinion, having "SPY" in your numberplate on an Aston is crappy. That's my opinion, and that makes my post admissible on this thread.

I'm making some assumptions here so feel free to correct:
Legal font?
Legal spacing?
No extra screw caps or otherwise butchered in any way?
Then it's a perfectly legitimate plate.
Same with the W7 WKD plate you commented on up the page too. Without knowing the significance behind them, they're merely personalised plates.
SPY - if trying to seem mysterious and James Bond-like is crap.
But perhaps his name is Simon Peter Yates, which makes it more relevant.
That plate might have been on his old Porsche but then he decided he fancied an Aston next and just transferred the plate over.
We have no idea. Just as for the WKD plate.

Calm down, I don't have a problem with YOU at all. As you say, in YOUR OPINION it's crappy. The mere fact it's a personalised plate does not make it crap and until you confirm the relevance of the "SPY" part it's merely a personalised plate. YOU'RE the one making the crappy connection because it happens to be on an Aston.

You're quite correct - both were legally spaced and perfectly legitimate. And yet each, in their own way, were a bit naff on the respective cars that they were on. I'm making some assumptions here so feel free to correct:

My understanding of this thread (and I'm happy to be corrected) is to be On Topic is to highlight personalised plates that you spotted and that you consider to be a bit naff and crappy. I don't think that there is a prerequisite for them to be illegally-spaced, use an illegal font, or use extra screw caps in order to qualify. But, as I said, I'm happy to be corrected there.
The majority of people would associate "spy" and an Aston Martin with James Bond. Personally, if I owned an Aston, I wouldn't have a "SPY" numberplate even if my name were Stephen Patrick Young, due to the aforementioned association.
Anyway, there's no reason to fall out over it. Perhaps I got a bit prickly, which isn't like me on the whole.

My take on the thread is to be eligible for inclusion it must be obviously crappy in some way, and not just down to someone's interpretation of it.
You feel free to get prickly; I have that effect on people.
