The owner of a local groundworks company has P1KEY

No, he doesn't like dags or live in a caravan, his surname is PIKE, though he's known to most as pikey.

Apparently certain groups take a dislike to the plate though he has been offered a load of cash by one.

The guy who owns our company has this plate...

Weirdly though that's not his car, he has it on a different 'GT40'. The one in the pic is a press demo from Superperformance, the firm that build the replicas. His is also a Superperformance car, but not that particular one.

I've got 2.

X10 + my 3 initials, and X10 + the missus's 3 initials.

Saved a lot of hassle in remembering reg numbers.

My rents have got Mums Initials, year, Dad's Initials (mum ain't got a middle name).

They've got it on 2 bikes and 2 cars with four different years.

Both mine came free by chance - the car looks like WHISKY but isn't, the bike ends in VUM... voom voom. Wouldn't have bought one, but I'm happy to keep these.

Ca DMV has issued just about every variation of BOLLOCKS you could think of.

My ZRX1100 plate is ZRX11 :)

Prefix style plates A-H with the numbers 25 and 26 go on sale on the official DVLA site tomorrow at 10am.

Got my eye on an A25 plate with my initials on it for £399.

25 is my lucky number :)

I bought one from DVLA RA63 initials then LDV. Once i got conformation and the code to put it on my bus i was told i was not allowed to use the plate as it made my bus look younger. Lucky i got a 14 day cooling off period. Full refund.

What!

They won't let you put £250 plate on your vehicle to make it look 10 years newer, what utter bastards.

That could have added several pounds to the value of an LDV van.

I know. My cunning plan was foiled. They stopped making the Convoy in 2004/5 ish so someone would need to be thick as pig shit to think it was any newer.

This is my personal plate and it’s only ever been owned by me as it did not exist before. I had it made then won it at auction as that is how it works. I wanted it for my Evo back in the day and when I got rid of the Evo I’ve had it on every bike since and now that I’m bikeless it’s on my current car.
