To be fair, I think I'd snigger slightly if I saw it, but probably wouldn't want anyone to think I'd chosen it.
After a lifetime thinking private plates were a bit naff I finally succumbed last year. When I was well along the process of buying an SL I bought OH10 RDW to go on it because it's not too obviously try-hard and it makes me smile. Unfortunately, for various reasons, I still haven't bought the SL, including that the car I was planning on trading in developed a minor but obvious fault that I've been chasing ever since, and I'm no longer doing the job I wanted it for anyway.
I could put it on the E63 but I never really imagined Janis as a fast estate kind of lady, so I'm now sort of forced to buy a convertible Mercedes to go with my numberplate whether I want one or not. The crosses we have to bear...
As a Worthing resident as a kid the only plate I really want is Tim Duttons old TOO 510W (was on a gold Countach when I was a kid) that sold a few years ago on CC....I should have tried to buy that.....After a lifetime thinking private plates were a bit naff I finally succumbed last year.

So I just bought this plate, never owned a private plate, always thought they were a bit sad/tacky.
Then I saw something like W44 NKK on a golf a few years ago that made me laugh..out loud......like a child. This is a well used negative term between me and my immature, middle aged friends.
I am middle aged. Finance worker. I have a wife and small child.
Got a bit of a bonus so thought I'd treat myself....wife won't allow me to put it on our sole, family car (c63 6.2 wagon) so I'll need to wait until I can get something else too.
Have I lost my mind or am I a comedy genius?

I read the plate as intended in the title. Would make me chuckle if I saw it. Love silly plates, great purchase!

I saw ‘loopy’ in car park on time and thought that was great. Something like L100OPY. Fab!

It is of course vulgar to talk about money...
... but how much did you pay?
£399. I know...... but how much did you pay?
I was worried you might have dropped ££££s on it in a private transaction - eBay etc. is awash with people pricing mediocre (at best) plates at, er, 'aspirational' levels.

NNK Sports Bar and Grill are open and want to take your order!
Choose from a range of delicious foodstuffs such as the cheddamelt or chicken strips and chips! All items on the menu cost less than R60! No idea what 'R' is? Don't worry, nor have we. But all we will say is that you'd better be R'sed to get yourself to NNK Sports Bar and Grill. Where are we? We don't know. Wherever they pay for things with 'R', we assume.
Q: What is 'cheddamelt'
A: A demigod worshipped by the ancient toothmug people of Greater Australasia between 5,000 and 4,999 BC.
Q: Who wants to see a chicken strip?
A: Not me, you weirdo
Q: Where can I exchange Sterling for R?
A: The NNK Bureau de Change, next door to the sports bar. Catch the NNK Bus Lines 39C from the High Street to get there: a one way ticket only costs R3 (cash only).

Like most on PH, I look at cars/plates more than the average person probably does.Then I saw something like W44 NKK on a golf a few years ago that made me laugh..out loud......like a child. This is a well used negative term between me and my immature, middle aged friends.

I might guess that the plate W44 NKK was an attempt at spelling W*NK.
W66 NKK not so much.
Wouldn't have spent £400 on either personally, but if it gives you a laugh then why not.

I do think this is key, it needs to be on the right car. A Golf R with popz'n'bangz would be ideal. Or a really ratty 90s saloon. Put it on anything expensive and people will just make snap judgements about how you paid for it.
Except W reg came out in March 2000 so no ropey 90s metal will be sullied by it.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
