Paul Horrel referred to that in last month's Top Gear magazine. How do you find out what car a registration number is on?
I'm not sure. It was just on the road around Islington. smile

"UEA 1" is on the front of a 2001 S320... unsurprisingly owned by someone quite up at UEA (University of East Anglia)

Saw '007' on an old bentley on the A2 going toward elephant and castle. Remember thinking at the time it should be on an Aston or something

I saw A2 on a battered old Volvo in Falmouth a few years back. Askmid says it's on a DB1 now.

8K is on a Fiesta Zetec S and MU3 isn't coming up so must not be on anything at the moment.

BV6 is on a Clio near me.

Also saw 3D on a Lex a little while ago.

A Corsa B near my parents house has a plate that spells wk - think it's W2ANK or W4NNK or something, I can't remember of the top of my head but it's spaced to read wk nonetheless.
