The bit I don't get, is that he has the forum to himself, so he can pick the coolest username in the world.

Yet he decides to call himself "Road User".

What's that all about?

With the general hatred of personalised registrations and self absorbed rantings I'm going to guess "road user" is actually our very own Breadvan.

I wonder how may people who are (understandably) poking fun at this idiot belong to the ever increasing group of people who post dash cam footage in order to create some lynch mob outrage about somebody's else's driving?

I do find it odd that certain poster's continually bombard us "repeating" their self obsessed hatred of the oblong piece of plastic displayed on our vehicle's,i don't have any interest in fishing... but i don't have any desire to post my opinions on websites why would i..? We all have plates in our the family and look on them as a bit of fun yes "FUN"...!!! all with the advantage of been great investments.... What's wrong with that.....? rolleyes

Because in his eyes you are being frivolous and deviating from the norm. Your whole family are perverted number plate deviants. biggrin

I've got 2 personalised plates - one my dad had on retention for years and gae to me, the other was on the car when I bought it.

On the whole it's a harmless site for the owner to vent over trivial matters.

I've got 3 plates.

One which was on my grandads Rolls Royce, which passed to me via my father. Double digit number and 1 letter. I was brought home from the hospital in that car after being born, so the plate is priceless to me. It will always be in the family.

One with my initials followed by a double digit number.

And one which spells one of my names with the 51 substituting SI.

The two I paid for are worth significantly more than their purchase price and if it upsets the kind of person who created that website all the better.

As an aside, when picked up my last supercar, for about a week, it had its normal plate on it before I transferred one of the private ones. I got a few comments along the lines of "Why no private plate?" and "Nice car, can't afford a private plate though ha ha!" or "Must be a hire car, if it's on a normal plate".

So it seems you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I've looked at the forum and to be honest, I would say the guy has some mental health issues. He has conversations with himself, a lot.

Very strange website. Thats pretty unique in a 'loner' sort of way. Obviously he cant find a friend to do everyday normal things we take for granted. I suppose thats the way that some individuals want to pursue their lives, but he is probably still at home with his parents and will be for ever more ........

Perhaps it's what Yipper and Audemars do in their spare time away from here ?

Only if you give a damn what other people think. :-)

My retort would be, "meh... is your Ferrari in for a service then?"

Thank you fellas.

Way ahead of you CRA1G, unfortunately the Rolls is no more, otherwise it would be in my possession.

I'm sure your sons will hold their plates in the same esteem I hold my grandads one.

Excellent presents for life. Well done you.

Has anyone come across this website before? It appears to be one man who lives in the new forest area who drives round taking pictures of people's illegal number plates and other minor motoring "crimes" and posts them online. He also encourages the reporting of these "crimes" to the police or crimestoppers

I expect he'd be treated as some sort of Demigod by some of the folks on here.
Lol, just like the sad muppets in the number plate thread. I'm sure one day (one can only hope) one of them will get lamped taking a picture of someone number plate.
