its about adding some individuality to a piece of equipment that has been replicated thousands of times over.
Sort of like when people get a tattoo then.Other than that you're bang on the money, as usual.
Not sure why you have trouble with the concept, but heyho.

I'm saying people get tattoos to "add some individuality" - see coldell's post - people get plates to "add some individuality".

Because as a tenet it's simply wrong, which has been pointed out to you many times before.Not sure why you have trouble with the concept, but heyho.
What don't you understand about that?

As cmoose mentions, theres nothing 'private' about these plates.
Bell end plates for bell ends trying to give it the 'look at me ive got a bell end plate'. Or others trying in vain to make their POS look newer than what it is..even though its the 'old' model...bell ends with nothing more of importance in their lives..
Much like forum user names then .....Bell end plates for bell ends trying to give it the 'look at me ive got a bell end plate'. Or others trying in vain to make their POS look newer than what it is..even though its the 'old' model...bell ends with nothing more of importance in their lives..
"22rgt B Squadron" commenting on this thread to take the piss out of private plates is probably the funniest example of someone not understanding irony, since irony was invented.
I love Pistonheads.

You use a number plate as an indicator that someone is a bell end.I find poor spelling is a better one.

Personally I dont see the problem with them.
In my neck of the woods every second car has one & they tend to be a favourite 21st birthday present for most.
They do have the added bonus of standing out on friends cars making it easier to spot as you pass each other.
One thing I do have a problem with is the dvla charging a small fortune for some of them because they can clearly be used to spell out a name, & then having the rules stating that you're not allowed to space them out as such.
Not been an issue for me, but feel that it is a bit unfair to charge what they do for them.

I saw a Ferrari 355 at Goodwood once, not on display just in the car park/field. The plate said 4321 GO. QED private plates are a good thing.
The recession has obviously hit. Saw that exact same plate on a Clio a few weeks ago.

In fairness to JW911, I'm sure that he knew that it was a Vee (I suspect that he may be the same chap who posted the "spot" on a Porker forum). But it wouldn't scan so well and I'd probably have posted the same as him. The Fezza truly was awful. Fingers crossed with the Lambo......

As an aside (and without reading all 52 pages of this thread I shall assume that the general consensus is that I'm probably a colossal show-off with a tiny member, both of which are true ) here are some pictures of various of my daily drivers from the last few years. All have been taken from other web pages as I never seem to take photographs myself anymore........
(Thank you to the original posters)
My plate makes me smile and I know that it does the same for others too. That's good enough for me.

d. I can spot a tongue-in-cheek compliment when I read one. 4321go said:
