Personalised number plates..?

[gingerjedi]

No.

I do though.

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.

the lot of em

Unless of course you had A1 in which case I may reconsider

I think it was on here that someone posted a link to of the week Personalised plate spotters

Which was amusing

I know somebody who owns A4. It's on some 1898 vintage car.

My rule of thumb: Don't trust anyone with personalised number plates.

Anyone who has the personality flaw that would allow them to pay for number plates, usually has the personality flaw that would allow them to stitch you up. I have seen it happen to other people.

Thinking back... Oh how true! Usually very self important types.

I do however like business plates done in taste, for example the plate on a very nicely appointed Transit van belonging to Chanel I once spotted - what else but "NO 5"?

That's simply good marketing, and I remember it more than 2 decades later.

Indeed; I think it was on Top Gear where they pointed out that the cocks who used to own BMWs have all bought Audis; Judging by the behaviour of Audi drivers on the Dutch motorways, they're right. BMW drivers don't seem to cause as many problems nowadays. Audi drivers all want to be in front, all want to show off their special quattro handling and sports suspension by going around blind bends at stupid speeds, often having to correct at the last moment because they've ended up on the wrong side of the road.

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."

Same over here. I'm also noticing more incredibly aggressive Vectra drivers. Salesmen, I assume.

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.

Was that directed at me?
