Personalised number plates..?

[Troll]

Personally I no longer think a BMW on its own is necessarily a bad thing, add a personalised number plate and the sum of wankiness is much greater than the parts.

Old Jag XK8's with PN's are the pinnacle of c**tness if you ask me.

Is that Jags in general or XK8s in particular...was thinking of getting a XF to supplement the rusting 4x4

I was told the first time I was going to drive in Europe to watch out for the Dutch drivers.

"They don't want to be behind you, they don't want to be in front of you. They want to be where you are."

You've not experienced the delights of Spanish motoring then?

Agree with the Dutch drivers are dire comment

On reflection, must agree.

My son's father had them.

Eew, you did it with S45 G11RU

And I know it's not a valid plate, pedants!

My rule of thumb: Don't trust anyone with a car brand preference.
Anyone who has the personality flaw that would allow them to think that a particular brand gives them kudos, usually has the personality flaw that would allow them to stitch you up. I have seen it happen to other people.

Saab drivers seem to be like this, they usually are knobs.

Italians are worse, especially in southern Italy.

Though Belgians can be iffy.

Yep, Audi drivers tend to be right dickheads nowadays and getting worse. I do have a personalised number plate, well as far as you can in Germany. The first 2 letters are the town where I live followed by my initials and then the top speed of the car as stated in the logbook (Which is actually wrong cos it should by 5km more.)

Old XK8's, they buy 'em because they're cheap as chips these days and then stick a PN on it to hide the age, they like to create the impression that they can afford a 60k sports car even though they nearly pass out every time they fill it up.

Stupid and shallow.

An old boss had one.

[MarillionFan]

Would you lend them money ?

I'd imagine the plate is worth about £250k. The car was £150k

The right to use the plate may be £250k but it still belongs to DVLA.

Was that directed at me?

If the shoe fits ...
