What C124PPY personalised plates have you seen recently?
Discussion
Three for the price of one, the Audi also parks in a really annoying place and stays there most of the day & night while the car they obviously use is out leaving the drive empty all day.

At a glance this appears to be a nice dateless plate, 66 REB. That's the underhand intention, anyway.
But something just didn't look right to me.
Here we have G6 REB shamelessly misrepresented by a) using a butchered 6 instead of a G, and b) the use of a bolt to fill the gap.
How are these cheapskates allowed to get away with this sort of thing?
I dislike the unlawful use of non-standard fonts, logos, black and white plates on modern cars etc. as much as the next person, but this is a different league.
It's a clear case of misrepresenting a plate to a different registration number. In cases like this where an attempt is made to deceive the vehicle's identity I firmly believe they should forfeit the plate and be given a huge fine.

What really made me laugh was the conversation at Birmingham Airport car park when I arrived there a little while ago.
The car park barriers use ANPR cameras to recognise the registration of people who've pre-booked their tickets. Mr Knob with his chavved-up illegal plate (can't remember what it was - at 04:30 I wasn't that interested) was having a proper rant at the poor call operative about the ANPR not working. Well, Mr Knob, maybe if you spaced your number plate correctly, and used the correct font, you'd have been able to get into the car park easily.

And it was failed at MOT time for the reg plate in 2009 and 2012But something just didn't look right to me.

Nice site!https://totalcarcheck.co.uk/FreeCheck?regv=g6+reb
Visually laid up much better than the .gov MOT checker.
Interesting comments, but would you believe me if I told you G6 REB isn't the worst misrepresentation I've seen?
Ladies and gentlemen, I present the pièce de résistance. It puts G6 REB to shame.
I spotted it last summer on a Bentley, of all cars. WO will be spinning in his grave.
As you can see I was sitting behind it at the traffic lights, scratching my head working out what this "M4 DEMO" plate could be - let alone what the dickens it was supposed to mean.
And I'm into plates, so god help anybody who was trying to recollect the plate for a police inquiry or other eventuality.
I obviously saw through the dodgy spacing, but it didn't occur to me for a good few seconds that ANYBODY could be so brazen as to use a D instead of the 0 character.
Alas, I had 3G signal and my phone's MyCarCheck app confirmed that this is, indeed, M40 EMO.
Not only should they confiscate the plate but the car - it's so illegal. I wouldn't want to overstate its case without merit so please correct me if I'm wrong, but all things considered, this is surely a hall-of-famer?
