K9
would be … erm … cool.
BRM 1,if you know your motor sport you’d understand,also my initials.
That number I’d venture is not available.
strangle enough in general K plates are not worth as much as they were released much later. it is the A and B plates that generally fetch the money.
Also single figures are more desirable and fetch a premium price.
They are not way out at all, Realspeed. You are drawing attention to yourself with your initials, which was my precise point of the thread.
Now, if it’s to do with promoting a business, that’s different (that is if people understand what it is you are advertising by the number plate). I wouldn’t do unless I was familiar with that particular business.
Check you don’t have to renew the retention certificates each year
Realspeed, Check out that registration retention is now for 10 years.
One of my plates is a, CAT reg! 
I have a personal plate, it’s nothing fancy or funny, just my initials, I don’t consider myself showing off, it’s only on a bog standard fiesta, probably not worth much, ( it didn’t cost a lot to buy) , why did I get one, not sure really , is it so wrong to say I just fancied it?

personal plates are common around here. In my little cal de sac alone there are at least 4 personal plates and a lot more around the corner
How odd that many people on here are quite willing to show off their own names on their number plates and walk around in real life not wearing masks. All you get on here are the same people showing us that they look like a cat.
You show off your body, isn’t that vanity?
you could say that if someone has something a little better that the next person is showing off.
If you can afford it then why not have it. Only jealousy and envy causes resentment
What many forget is people work damn hard to get something not sit on their backsides relying on state handouts
Personalised number plates give me a great deal of enjoyment Floydy, I’ve spent most of my later life on the roads, first as a courier and these days any excuse to drive long distance, sometimes without a reason…
And I’m always on the lookout for interesting number plates, it has developed into some sort of a hobby…And I’ve seen some corkers! My memory is far too decrepit to remember most of them but I always remember driving around Sheffield and seeing JUDGE on a roller, and KO OUT on a Ferrari - slightly different arrangement of letters and numbers but you get the gist…
I probably wouldn’t have one myself, you would be asking for trouble round here if you left it parked in the street, they aren’t keen on ‘Posh Gets’ and would take a key to the paintwork, at the least…
One of my favourite numbers was on one of my vans…599 GET…When calling at a site they would always ask for your reg and I would joke that I managed to have my name on the plate…I have been described as ‘A GET’ in the past…:surprised:
It’s not my point at all, Realspeed. I don’t like attention seekers that’s all and people who want their initial on their cars are doing precisely that.
They say I have enough money to waste it on my own number plate so there !
Who says?
My number plate is a personalised plate consisting of my initials followed by a random number. In 1990 I paid a one off fee of $95 for the plate and it is mine for life.
I got it because the number the RTA issued for my car was PUZ and I wasn’t driving a new car with the plate PUZ for anybody. I wouldn’t bother these days because personalised plates have an annual charge.
Recently I got replacement plates because the old ones were pretty beat up after nearly 30 years but I retained the old number and style from the 1990s (black letters on yellow plate). These days that is quite retro and the style would cost $248 as a restyle plate but because this was an original plate I paid $48.
it is not attention seeking ,it is just a question of having something one likes.
with my number plate it is easy to remember, I can’t get the hang of these new plates and how you tell from which year they refer to
Easier to find in a crowded car park as well Primus…
One of my jobs in the past was to recover a rental car from Falkirk. I was provided with a train ticket to Edinburgh, and on to Falkirk where I collected the Toyota Corolla from a private address. I made my way onto the M74 south and decided to stop at a services for a cuppa and rest.
I left the restaurant and walked out into the car park where several Toyota Corolla’s were lined up…I couldn’t remember which one was mine…:shock::shock::shock:
After several minutes walking around the park with dobber in hand I eventually struck lucky…Thank God for Dobbers…
Sorry bud but what’s a “dobber”?
This…
Became this…
