Where is this car Reg from...can't be legal ?

[rswift]

Followed this Phantom in London the other week....any ideas !

[randlemarcus]

Its on askmid, but registered to a fork lift truck, so there's either some excellent coachwork, or its a bit out of date.

Probably this guy: http://www.fahad.com/2008/02/143-million-for-abu-d...

But he has had it pinted in the UK plate style.

Sorry, but spending $14.3MIllion on a number plate for a car, makes you a . Pure and simple.

Buying it for that much might make you a mug, but what does selling an appreciating asset that is highly portable, and easy to transfer for more than that make you?

Imagine being so very rich, yet being such an insecure tossbag that you must constantly announce to all "I'm number 1! me! Number 1! Look at my number 1 car!" like some sort of idiot child

Obviously he cares or he wouldn't have bothered buying it. That number plate is just a status symbol. The plate might be an investment but the fact that he registered it to his car means he gives a st about showing everybody he has it, no?

Imagine being so jealous that you get upset that someone has got so much more money than you!

Aside from the numberplate, the Phantom really doesn't wear red very well does it?

[Balmoral Green]

Perhaps it's embarrassed?

[Orangecurry]

It's brilliant; no copper will EVER stop that car.

The clever ones will realise they'll get grief one way or the other, so won't bother,

and the stupid ones will think it's the Queen.

It looks like a taxi IMO.

[Rude-boy]

Well I wouldn't want to pay that much for a VRN but each to their own. I mean so people pay that sort of dosh of nags, and they can crok at any time.

I just with that that sort of money ment as much to me as £265

[Tsippy]

Sure it's not Scott Alexander ?

[Justayellowbadge]

Have to defer to the wisdom of my betters here.

Phantom in red is ghastly.

It looks foul in that colour it needs to be a shade between silver and black1
