The people who are regular major contributors on the numberplate thread.

They jot down numbers all day just to post them in there. Pathetic.

LarkGTR something or other is the main one. The trouble he goes to, to post so many is worrisome. He must carry a notepad around with him.

And not forgetting jaguar Steve who conflates a mis-spaced plate with all manner of law breaking/societal problems.
Like those who have 'personal' or mis-spaced plates say, 'It's only a bit of fun', the crappy plates is alight-hearted, amusing array of hubris, vanity and law breaking.

I'm with you GF. The obsessive snobbery around it is laughable. If your numberplate falls short of A1 then you're fair target.

Especially the number plate whingers who also seem to think that speed limits are optional...

Curing Jeremy Vine fanatics constipation by pointing out that in a recent cycle commute video he used a left turn only lane to go straight on and jumped a red light by dismounting his bicycle and pushing it along the road.

They lose their poo, lose any/all argument/s; then delete comments so it looks like I'm a crazy person talking to myself. silly

Antisocial media eh? rolleyes

Crazier than usual.


Off topic, started my new job this week, so far so good. biggrin

But not as pathetic as those people who think that their illegal chav plate ‘says something’.
Oh, it says something about the type of self obsessive types that buy them.

Sticking in weird fonts to make numbers into words or putting in bolt heads or moving the spacing about, doesn’t look cool. It looks like a tragic cry for therapy.

Lots of stuff
That are provokes lots of knobbish behaviour.

The very worst though are the dipst HGV drivers who decide to pop in to the garage between Ringwood & the A338 using the lane coming out from Ringwood, blocking people from using that slip & completely blocking the view of somebody trying to get out of the garage. Selfish dangerous behaviour.

I have a personalised plate. it's on a 10 plate van, which the gen of has not long been superseded. I couldn't give a toss if people think it's a ten year old van, a two year one, or just out the showroom. It's a work slag, not a trinket.

Yep. I was bought a private plate years ago (late 90s), still got it now. On an ageing kia because even though its an 80's plate, it's still too new for my camper and not worth paying to put on any of the (ahem) projects. Only a letter, number, and my initials, worth about 50p, but it goes on car after car. No snobbery or age-hiding at all.

Ha. My 'pointless personalised plate' makes my 6 year old van look like a 20 year old van.

I don't give a st, so not at all bothered if anyone else does or not.

Indeed. Mine is R reg, so makes a 9 year old van look 22 years old.

surely cherished plates are intended to give the owner a means to express something about themselves to other people. If other people interpret on the whole that all you are meaning is that you have an old car, then your message didn't really land properly. I don't get the point of cherished plates though, admittedly.

Without asking someone I'm unsure how we know anyone's motivation with any certainty.

I don't currently have any personal plates on cars. I'm not usually bothered but I think on interesting cars it's just livening up an otherwise boring part of the car, not really any different to those chrome finishers you can stick on the end of exhausts.

I do think people want to project things about thenselves sometimes. I mean, why wear a hat or sunglasses indoors? But so what, it's hardly a crime, other than against fashion.

I think the personalised numbers I have (all are of the format: A1 BCD) just look neater/cleaner than ZY98 XWV format plates. None are my initials, try to spell words or are mis-spaced or butchered in any way. None cost me more than £200 initially.
