Private Plates

Post by **KungFooBob** » Mon Sep 07, 2020 8:46 pm

It's been a while, I wonder if attitudes have changed.

£250 private plate, direct from the DVLA, includes the transfer fee, would you?

Nope, it was cheaper to change my name by deed poll.

I only ask because the wife just got a £828 tax rebate

Unless its THX 1138 I'm not buying it.

I've got one on my bike.

I think it's tacky

It was Mrs D's 21st Birthday present from her folks, it's on my bike only as a holder. If you don't use it you lose it AFAIK.

I saw a Mclaren with the plate FA57YEP on my last trip to the big island. And I overtook him in a my scabby van.

That showed him.

I can get T888 GMH for £250.

Cos my initials are GMH, innit (Not KFB in real life, although if you bought a Fiat in Doncaster in the mid 00's you'd get a KFB plate).

Depends.

If it's one of those plates where you need to use your imagination to get it to mean anything apart from a failed attempt at something,then nah.

OTOH if it was one like Steve Parish,then probably nah,but maybe.

I have one on retention and one in my BMW. K12 and my initials.

They're not silly money and you can always move them about.

When we bought the saab it came with a plate for the car
S44BXX
but nowadays unless it's a 4 or 5 index plate, not really cool anymore....if it ever was!

If I could get OLD 61T I might be tempted.

If I was still driving.

Never quite understood it, but each to their own.

My wife's Yamaha after completing her CBT ended with the letters FEK.

Which she said a fair bit down the intercom the first few rides, so it was like a personalised plate for no money at all

I freely admit to Having one which is my Initials and the first two numbers of my Army number Frivolius I know but it also has Ulster instead of GB and the logo "what traffic jam" along the bottom. Yes its on a bike

Not very private if everyone can see it.

Very naff though.

I'd have one if I could find something that didn't need dodgy bolt placement to read right
