Personalised Plate. Why Bother?
Discussion
Personalised plates have never done much for me aside maybe, from one or two of the more amusing ones.
Those that require strategically placed screws or clipping of letters to read something they don't just piss me off and as for the prices paid....well there must be more mugs out there than I thought.
This has to take the biscuit though. Advertised in the last couple of issues of KC is this;
"ACC 808A ........reads AC Cobra"
No it doesn't

Agreed.... I remember seeing a "cherished" number plate company advertising M411DYS as "MANDYS"
I suppose it's possible with a couple of carefully placed screws, alter the 4 a bit, basically make the plate illegal..... and make sure that anyone who looks at it wears a pair of old specs make from coke bottle bottoms to blur their vision a bit!

It does if you have eyesight like mine.......
Did you hear about the bloke who went to the DVLA auction to bid for P 1 LOT (I think he was a parking attendant
) and got it for £20,000 or thereabout when it was first released.
Went along to his LVLO to transfer it to his runabout
, only to learn that he could only put a P plate on a car of P registration or younger.
But it’s a completely new plate he insisted
. Answer – You need a completely new car then!!!!!
Talk about high flying! He had his head in the clouds.

Have you asked Den for the blokes number yet Flintsone?
(Smilies no working so please laugh)
Flintstone, Your not a parking lot attendant are you?
Here’s a joke,
Irishman in a Tristar bound for America.
Pilot announces “there’s been a fault in the mid engine, we’ve had to close it down and the flight arrival time will be delayed by 3 hours”.
Irishman to his mate “well that’s annoying – I was hoping to be in America in time for breakfast”
Pilot makes a second announcement “there’s no reason to be concerned, but a similar fault developed in the port engine and we’ll now be 6 hours late”
Irishman to his mate “now all we need is the third engine to fail and we’ll be stuck up here all night.”
BOOM BOOM.
Den.
I must admit, I could very well be tempted to get a private plate for my kit (when I eventually get it delivered and I build it).
Not for a vain pretence that I have an image to uphold, but because of the donor.
I'd probably go for a Irish type plate (3 letters, 4 numbers), just to hide the age of the donor. I'd like to think that once built people will think it is a new or newish car, not rebuilt scrap.
