But this thread is about the plates being altered to misrepresent, that plate could have been issued to anyone, there arent there plenty of FA57 plates out there.

In any case, a minor offence if there is one.
Yep, I would agree, belongs in the real good thread IMO.
None of the kids in the 6 year olds English remedial class would agree though. Everyone of them would know for sure you can't spell anything with numbers and if the fat kid at the back of the class told Miss you could they'd all fall about laughing at how thick he was and probably beat him up at break time.
Yes, but if properly spaced, it is a little bit of fun, within the law, nobody died, I am very against the utterly bastardised ones but I would probably smile if I saw that out and about.

It does look like it spells Fastest, within the constraints of the format, a lot would read it as such, our brains are tuned to look for meanings and patterns.

Would you ban any combinations that may resemble a word, would you prevent owners being able to buy a specific combination and insist they are all state issued and non transferable ?
No matter what justifications you seek pretending the number seven is the same as the letter T, or four is A, or three is the same as E is pretentious. It's not real and I'll bet 99% of the sufficiently educated population who got out of the remedial class and back into mainstream education absolutely laugh their cocks off whenever they see it.

It's exactly the same vain pretence as flashing a 30 Dollar Chinese Rolex about in the pub and trying to pass it off as the real thing, or implying a TOWIE radioactive orange complexion really is because you've spent three months on your own private island in the Caribbean or that your imitation granite worktops from B and Q were actually spewed out of a volcano and have been lovingly selected and cut and polished especially for you by skilled Italian craftsmen.

Nope, do whatever you do properly with the genuine article or just don't even bother IMO. Numberplates don't and never have spell anything and anybody suggesting that they do is simply revealing something rather pretentious about themselves.
Oooh, you're gonna really hate LU57 FUL then... smile

I saw that DVLA sold AU57 ERE for about £2.5k!

Pitiful.

Apparantly over half of Chavs can't recognise themselves in the mirror. That goes a long way to explaining why a randomly chosen group of letters and numbers I.e any plate whatsoever such as your excellent example.......then crammed together illegally could provide a 'personalised' self important 'lifestyle achievement' vanity plate for the moron. hehe

Sometimes the format kind of 'spells' something inadvertently, a letter O and 0 do look very similar, a 5 and a letter S are more or less the same shape, human brains try to establish order where there isn't any and people are tuned in to number plates, the motivation is separate, I am not completely against them.

This thread is about those trying too hard on a budget, they are funny, probably a psychiatrist could have a field day, some with better plates may just be similar with more money but most are just folk that want to personalise things a little, we have a plate that my father in law bought in 1959, he died last year, I wouldn't be bothered if my wife wanted it on her car for sentimental reasons, she doesn't but I can see why she would, I would like the very nondescript reg from my first car for sentimental reasons.

Anyway, we need variety, we need pretentious and these plates are an excellent clue to a bellend in the vicinity

I genuinely dont think thats a cherished plate or is an attempt to spell anything. I think its more likely that 'Claire' wanted a monogrammed plate, ordered it from ebay since theyre cheap and forgot to put a space in where it should be and the plate-making-monkey clearly made it up exactly as she put in the comments box

Nice of them to explain via the slogan that the car is a Volkswagen Beetle. I'm not sure anyone would have been able to identify the marque and make otherwise hehe

P8SD X on a Tesla P85D. Seen a number of times around my way recently. Shame, as it would be a great plate if it wasn't spaced exactly that :-(

B19 BBN, with just 2 screws holding it on, which unfortunately had to be placed on the curves of the third B and were accidentally fitted as yellow rather than black, rendering the whole plate looking a tiny bit like it reads "BIG BEN".

Only it was, of course, fitted to a Rangie Sport and as anyone normal PH size (6' 4") knows, no-one "big" actually fits in an RR.... wink
Update:

"Big" Ben was driving with his tinted front windows down today.
"Fat" Ben would be a better plate. "Unpleasantly fat", if you could fit it on.

Anyhow, he came twitching around the corner towards me as he tried to finish the text on his phone, phone balanced on his gut hurl


So:

crappy plate
massively fat tt
RR Sport
illegal tinted windows
using mobile.

Stereotype much?
