It's Embarrassing

[Jezzwelda]

Driving home from Chester races yesterday we were followed by a V8 with the plate V 800 TAM. Nothing wrong with that I hear you cry except that the owner had altered the T to look like a 7 so it read.....V8 007 AM.

Am I alone on this one or is that ready sad? JB didn't even drive a V8 !

To me it's like sticking a clowns nose on the face of Kate Beckinsale.

Shouldn't be allowed and if you're reading this Mr Bond you should feel entirely embarrassed.

Possibly not. But I guess the guy/girl doesn't care

I spent a bit of time debating with myself about it, then thought screw it. Bit of fun. Who cares.

Most people don't even notice. Those that do (invariably thus far - I should probably avoid where you live though ) smile and give it the thumbs up

Not as sad as the 007 plate I've starting seeing regularly on a new mondeo recently

I agree with you coyft, its just a bit of fun & should be taken so by others.

P.S Just noticed you as a fellow RS4 owner.

Well, it's spent as much time on screen as the new AM!

And he did drive a V8 in The Living daylights. No, not THAT V8 perhaps, but a V8 vantage nonetheless, so why not?

My V8 Vantage plate reads: JM 007. The letters are my initials and the numbers were picked at random.

As others have said, just meant to be a bit of fun. As anyone who knows me will tell you, it is quite obvious that I unfortunately have nothing in common with JB.

Out of all the thousands of combinations you could have ended up with, you got 007, that is some coincidence

I don't have a problem with the plate, just found it amusing that a random number, for an Aston Martin, ended up as 007

OK with such strong questioning, I will confess that the numerals were not really picked at random. I have a low pain threshold so no need to tie me to a chair or anything...

Go on, just let it out, if I had an Aston, I would have no problem sticking whichever plate I wanted on it, who cares what others think

(unless of course it is a BMW with BMW or X5 on the plate, then I get mad )
