Just a quick question: which is 'best': 3 RHM, 2000 RM or 8000 RM?
The reason I ask is that 2000 RM is on the Abarth that's out and about most, 8000 RM is on my sports-tourer Triumph that I use occasionally and 3 RHM is on my old 2002 Kawasaki (from new) that mainly lives in my garage and doesn't get out much.
I wondered if the numberplate cognoscenti would suggest some swapping of plates?

L5 VER
Green x type estate.
Kudos for avoiding the Chav route and not butchering into LEVER.

I don’t find that to be a good plate at all, sorry
Just because a plate doesn't spell some basic word doesn't mean it's not appropriate for the owner.

Is it's legal and appropriate for the owner then it is a good plate.
1HAM is crap if it's meant to say the owner's name, Ian.
However, correctly spaced on a butcher's van it's good.
But not a lot of point in posting it on this thread if an entirely ordinary plate is made good only because of some tentative relevance to the owner1HAM is crap if it's meant to say the owner's name, Ian.

Yep it is good.1HAM is crap if it's meant to say the owner's name, Ian.

And like my example of L5 VER, made even better by not being illegally butchered and thus not making the platee an obvious Chav and in the same moronic category as an increasing number of illegally butchered and tragic vanity Chavplates currently seen on our roads.

Realistically, I think we need a third category, for properly spaced plates that mean somthing to their owner and friends, but don't mean anything to everyone else And like my example of L5 VER, made even better by not being illegally butchered and thus not making the platee an obvious Chav and in the same moronic category as an increasing number of illegally butchered and tragic vanity Chavplates currently seen on our roads.

Trouble is, people will see them and not notice, so a thread would die of under-use real fast!
For example, the plate on my XE isn't hugely obvious - X15 plus my initials is clearly much older than the car, but it bothers me not in the slightest that most people who see it won't know what an X15 was, even if they do guess what my initials are!
But even then, there really isn't the clear cut "properly spaced is cool, mis-spaced isn't" that some folks claim - I used to see TUR80 around here a lot, on various interesting motors, and I don't believe anyone who claims that is crap!

3 RHM is the best for me - stick that on the Abarth and allocate the others to the bikes The reason I ask is that 2000 RM is on the Abarth that's out and about most, 8000 RM is on my sports-tourer Triumph that I use occasionally and 3 RHM is on my old 2002 Kawasaki (from new) that mainly lives in my garage and doesn't get out much.

Obviously much much cooler to leave it legal and original.

AMV 8 on a new Vantage the other morning.
Me too!Its Dan Trent with a Press Car I believe
(re TUR80 as a plate)
It is interesting though, the number of folks here who don't seem to give a rats backside about law-breaking when it involves a speed limit, but are obsessed beyond reason about the width of a gap between letters and numbers
Yep, I hate -most- of the crappy numberplates in t'other thread as much as anyone else, but it really -isn't- Legal =Good, Illegal=Chavvy
It isn't a black and white world out there there are a whole range of shades of grey.
If I was being cynical, I'd suspect that some folks are jealous on here

Although if spaced like that it is illegal and seen as being influenced by Chaverry therefore crappy.

Given that the first time I recall seing it was on a brand spanking new XR3 Turbo, I'm not sure Chavs had been invented at that point...Obviously much much cooler to leave it legal and original.
