The correlation between butchered cr4ppy plate and make of car is quite telling. The previous page, with the exception of an ancient VW Polo, was entirely "premium badged" stuff - BMW, Merc, Range Rover etc.
I wonder how long it's been a thing to butcher a plate, I don't recall it when I was younger. Perhaps back then it wasn't so easy to get hold of illegal plates as it is today, it does seem to be a spreading pandemic though and rife within the so called "premium" brands... Just an observation.
Number plate fkuckwittery has been a thing almost since the DVLA started flogging them in the '90s and kicked off with txt spk abominations like H1 2 WNK and H1 4 TOS on new Orion and Sierra Ghias here in the Essex Badlands, although it's got way more prevalent in more recent tines as every celebrity worshiping TOWIE wannabee absolutely must be instafaced with a C124PPY vanity plate on their car.I wonder how long it's been a thing to butcher a plate, I don't recall it when I was younger.

And yes, completely right - it is the German marques and Range Rovers absolutely dominating page after page of every single volume in the C124PPY plates way out of all proportion to their relatively small market share. Last time I bothered to sample count a couple of dozen pages Mercedes scored a hit on over 50% of all the posts with BMW and Audi close behind and way ahead of everything else.
ETA. And just to prove a point. Perfectly summed up but on entirely the wrong thread.

Nor could said reasonable person disagree with the point I've occasionally made with regard to the quite astonishing proportion of German cars displaying C124PPY plates on here. That's a fact and not an opinion anybody can confirm with a few clicks.

I used to see S7 EUF spaced as Steve around Swindon on an E46 M3 cabrio driven by a bloke in his 40s who always had a back to front baseball cap onGassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
