Although it is beyond comprehension how the ever growing illegal chavplate culture could remotely impress anyone. Just makes the vanity plater look a complete tool.
Case in point courtesy of the local hairdresser who appears unable to spell his name correctly....
Why....just why?
Why are you trying to lump that £250 illegal chav plate with a £100k plus perfectly legal no plate?Case in point courtesy of the local hairdresser who appears unable to spell his name correctly....

My point was that most deluded vanity chavplaters are under the ILLUSION they have a 'special' plate created by illegal butchering when in actual fact all the plate is saying is 'look at me, I am a knob, above the law and cannot afford a good legal plate'.
Another case in point, a' local' Estate Agent:
Depends whether the item is bought merely to impress others or to appreciate the qualities of the item itself.
Porsche along with various other manufacturers unfortunately went through the 'material' possessions crisis in the 90s when every banker and his dog owned a 911 despite having no interest or understanding in what the cars were about other than another asset class in which to park money.

Are you the one who has bought a GT3, GT4 and a Spyder, is hardly driving them but likes talking lots about their values?

And the people who actually think that a number plate is 'cool', or a status symbol, or means something make me laugh. Not get angry or wound up, just laugh a lot. Personally, I'd give money to charity sooner than display such a sign of a fragile ego nsm3 said:

I think you're right. A lot of sweeping generalisations. Like saying that everyone who drives a Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc, does so to make up for having a small d..k. And some people probably do think that nsm3 said:

It was merely an example. Another may be to 'hide' the newness/value of a car from clients etc (had this exact experience in 1999 - from an inside contact, we were excluded because we arrived in a new Boxster ffs!). I don't like shuffled about attempts to 'spell' something, but I don't blow a fuse over some inoffensive plate that doesn't tell me if the car in front is newer or older than mine.
