Now I have a 'silly' numberplate, but maybe I'm missing something here, where you say "legitimate numberplate format", you mean other than the two D's (DD) that have been changed to O's (OO) to make TOO rather than TDD??

Not quite right, but you are correct about illegal spacing, the number plate is actually

TO05 LOW

I prefer plates that are related to the car rather than a person.

Best plate I ever saw was:

THE 928S

Luckily it was on a Porsche 928S, any other car and it wouldn't have made any difference, but on that car, it just works.

Isn't it TOO 510W - which makes it legally spaced.

I've tried with a few variations and cant seem to make a reg out of it that my look up will accept

I like them.

Have a few, and they amuse me. However, my Mrs has banned me from putting P16 GOB on anything. That was a fairly expensive bit of paper!

It is an old format numberplate from 1980. W-suffix

TOO (O being letters not zero) and then 510 W

Perfectly legitimate spacing - three letters, space, three numbers then reg suffix.

1x1, 2x1, 3x1 and their mirror versions are the only plates that interest me. Unfortunately I can’t afford them. All the other personalised plates are pure chav and perfect for RR evoques.

My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't drive around with rally style name transfers on my rear windows so why would I want everyone wanting to know I've called KEV or BEV or SAM?

This sort of plate makes more sense to me. Just quirky rather than vain - it also hides the age of the car which some people may want to do.

Well, it lets people know that it was built after 1980

Definitely not a plate person , was only telling my dad how stupid his was 2 weeks prior. until i figured out i could make up "Wait for U" .I then returned to be a 12yr old and had it on the car pronto .

It means 'I am considerably richer than you, and if you hadn't noticed that I was driving a Ferrari, then you get a second chance to see how amazing I am by reading my number plate....look at me....LOOK AT ME!!!'

Ha, funny. I drive a Ferrari and have a personalised plate on it. I personally don't care if someone gives me a second look. I have the car and the plate to please me, nobody else. If others like it then good, if not, then I'm really not bothered. And, I'm really not amazing, lucky, fortunate, hard working, yes, but far from amazing.

Baffles me how upset some people can get over number plates

Number plates, cars parked at slightly jaunty angles, modifications. This forum is full of odd people who get irrationality angry at the insignificant.

Incorrect, I thought that at first too but then I read the article and saw it was correctly spaced and not one that's just been butchered so fair play to the owner.

Haha very true.

I have a personal number plate. its K3 WSJ, it was a 21st birthday present from my mum and given I'm a car enthusiast I think its a bloody good present (I've now had it for 10 years).
Couldn't give a flying fruit-bat what anyone else thinks to be honest.

Or rather normal people who get slightly miffed at illegalities.

Reminds me of a lovely new TVR years ago that was sporting UR02 SLO. That seems to make more sense.

Sixspeed on here. Was a cracking car.

I see it now sits on his Huracan Performante so boy done well.

With a nice Z4m in between. Always made me smile that plate. As do many others.
But then I’m not a mardy tw*t

[likesachange]

Another one for the haters.. my track toy that occasionally gets out on public roads..

Its just a bit of fun, many will think its terribly naff and will also think the exige is too tbh (being non OEM) but its a right hoot so I don't care

Yep as currently displayed, TOO 510W is a perfectly good plate.

Obviously it would have been a different story IF the plate had actually been T005 LOW and then illegally mispaced like many other desperate wannabees, however.

The less said about the meaningless drivel of a plate on a certain Lamborghini referred to earlier, the better.

I don't give a hoot how people space their plates, but 510W doesn't spell SLOW to me, I couldn't live with the I where the L should be.
