Deja vu!
Posted this around last summer.....'Aldi' (what else?) A4.....local hairdresser being a notorious laughable fully paid up CAC (Crappy Audi Chavplate) member.....
Strange then....as I saw it correctly spaced possibly on a dark coloured Q5 locally a few weeks back following Plods intervention on a number of notorious local chavplating miscreants........so either the Chavplating temptation has returned or with any luck it may even have been cloned.

2nd Royal Tank Regiment (2RTR) were part of 1 Mechanised Brigade, but were merged in 2014 with 1RTR to form "The Royal Tank Regiment".
They'd previously merged with 3RTR in the '90s, but kept their original unit title. They can trace their lineage back to WW1.
Could even be serving military, but 'vanity' plates showing unit titles are severely frowned upon from a personal security angle. Favourite at my last regiment was folk with the letters 'EOD' on their plates being advised to "have a rethink". I think military and ex-military folk pick up on the subtleties of these plates that simply look like random issue DVLA stuff to most. There are a couple floating round near me with 'RAF' and a squadron number in them, usually accompanied by a RAFA car sticker and a poppy somewhere on the rear window.

Quite possibly ex-military.

Funny old thing, I saw this plate on Friday as well on the M4. My first thought was people's cavalry and when I clocked the old duffer driving it, replete with Regimental tie, I knew it to be so.2nd Royal Tank Regiment (2RTR) were part of 1 Mechanised Brigade, but were merged in 2014 with 1RTR to form "The Royal Tank Regiment".

Such high respect for an ex solider who quite likely put his life on the line a few times, what have you done for your country then mate ? It's hardly "lack of respect" now is it? I did 25 years "before the colours", but I don't see how it entitles me to immunity from gentle mocking on an internet forum. Hell, I was out cycling (in an Army Cycling Union jersey) and very nearly got run off the road by some tool with a "Help For Heroes" sticker in the rear window. No irony at all there? And I've been called a whole lot worse than "old duffer" since I left the service. So please. Leave it. Some ex-military folk are wholly unpleasant people. A veteran's badge and a few medals is no guarantee that the person behind them is worthy of "respect". That's something we have to earn from each and every individual we meet, not demand it because we chose one particular career over another.
If the old duffer in question had "respected" the law governing the display of registration plates, then he would have remain anonymous and entirely unremarkable. As it is, it's HIS lack of respect that's drawn him to the attention of this thread...

At the risk of being crushed by that huge chip on your shoulder, I think a decent personal plate on a smart car is a nice finishing touch, rather than a random jumble of letters and numbers.
Quite. In the same way that having your initials on a bathrobe is a nice finishing touch.
Not really a relevant analogy otherwise is it..?
