[Closed] funny/wacky/ironic car number plates

Used to be one round my way when I was a kid "H8 PIN" which looked like HOP IN - ultimately it was deemed "not cool" as we decided it defo belonged to a kiddie fiddler.

P 15 SED on a Porsche

Ooh... are we doing that one again?

Not funny but cool. An old Skyline with DI5 SCO

Thought it looked ace.

Used to regularly see a Honda S2000 with a personalised plate that was "something S200". He didn't seem to bothered that his personalised plate didn't have enough zero's.

A mate of mine used to manage a betting shop. He always had a quirky taste in cars and at the time was driving an old Lotus Esprit in white - his number plate read 'big odds' (B19 0DD5 - or something like that).

One of my old bosses (a real flash dick) has got a personalised plate that almost spells his name - but not quite. What is the point?

Bright yellow Corvette on the M25 years ago with BL03 JOB.

I assume the car was super charged as it wasn't swerving about.

We have a couple of football casuals in the office that have bought personal number plates with their 3 initials in the letters and just random numbers. C****s.

Used to see a guy come into the quarry who bred rare pigs (For meat) with the plate P16 LUV (Pig Love)
And years ago I used to regularly see a Merc SL convertible driven by a rather busty lady with the plate BRA 32G 🙂

Also, recently: 😆

a nissan GTR adorned with TO55ER

A lad i went to school with had J869 CUM

Quite often see a gold range rover around the southside of Glasgow with AR51 OLE

Just googled it

Chap in a Beemer on the M27 with a number late KI55 MEN.

Brother of a friend of ours has a nice blue TVR Tuscan with the numberplate W33 NOB

Edit: found it on Google:

Suitably parked too.

Pet hate. I can just about tolerate something that refers to the make or model of car, but spelling your name out in text speak nonsense is tragic.

It's particularly annoying to when you have to try and figure out what the **** someone's expensive "vanity plate" actually means. I got stuck behind an A3 on the motorway and the plate read something like [b]BL04 J03[/b]. I'm sure the guy driving was trying to send out a message other than "I fellate men" but I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was.

I used to see one near me - might have been an M3 or M5 - L5 UTD - LS = postcode for Leeds...

A scrap dealer were I used to live had M3TAL, with a slightly squared of 3.

Quite a flash motor in Belgravia my colleague spotted with BR05 HOE - "bros before hoes" he pointed out to me

A guy near me got landmined in Afghanistan.

His Golf has the reg LO57 LEG

Recently I have seen a McLaren with U L05T and a Merc with WHY 570P (it read as why stop), which both made me go "oh" and nod slightly.

I put **'5 8ABY on my wifes Fiat 500. Cost very little and looks like my wifes initials BABY.

Some may hate it. Some may like it. TBH I don't care but it usually gets some appreciation from people following or walking past. All friendly and seems like a suitable number for a small quirky car.

My father in law got in very early and has W 8ONE. His name is William Bone. Think it cost him £300

Pet hate. I can just about tolerate something that refers to the make or model of car, but spelling your name out in text speak nonsense is tragic.

Agreed, though not so much a pet hate, more contempt, or at best; pity.

There really is nothing quite so tragic, so deeply, deeply uncool as personalised number-plates. For some reason I always think of an ageing, balding Alan Partridge type character with status anxiety. I'm not sure why females do it? Perhaps they think it's 'funny' and is a natural progression from 'Diva on Board' headlight eyelashes etc...

For balance, I love em. amazed people get so wound up by it

If it'sworth doing it's worth doing properly.

B1KER on a baby blue Rolls Royce convertible.

Chap near me has GR05 CON

I do so hope he takes it to France.

i'll put my hand up and say thta i've got a personalised plate....

MTB 8055

wanted MTB 1, but it was gone.

this being Germany very few people have picked up on what it means. a few riding buddies have picked up on the MTB bit, but only one, has clocked on to the 8055 part. he however ddin't get the MTB bit. 😐

cost me 12€ 8)

Once in London spotted a [s]murdered out [/s] black Merc driven by a bearded man with J1HAD 😯

There's a Merc round my way, driven by a woman and it's *** WET. I always thought 'OK', then recently found out she's partial to appearing in home made grot and having it posted on the tinterweb. Seems more apt now

Suitably parked too.

There's a village near me called Rhu. Its quite an affluent area and the amount of cars about with RHU in the registration must mean folk are quite pleased to live there. Tossers.

Best one I have seen, and it is very local to Sheffield, is R8 GUD on a Volvo.

I've also seen CUJ 1M in Sheffield.

DI M 1
on a merc sls around here

Whilst living in US;

WOT HO on an old Brit sports car
QUICK AG on a silver Saab
AG BULLET on silver Porsche
(Think periodic table)
URNVS on a Porsche open top driven by blonde sorority girl
FATTIRE on a big wheeled 4x4 at an MTB race.

Most if trying to say anything look absolutely w4nk (see what I did there?) generally ok if just hiding the age of a car with initials etc.

2 that I whole heartedly approved of are:

T8 TOES - on a local farmer's Range Rover
D4RTH - on an all in black Mclaren F1 spotted at Spa a year or two back.

His Golf has the reg LO57 LEG

Err, no. That reg belongs to a Ducati Diavel.

B1KER on a baby blue Rolls Royce convertible.

Audi Q7...

These amused me:

There is a guy in london with 2 cars, with complementary number plates.

Car number one is a sports car - number plate 2B

Car number two is a small hatchback - number plate NOT 2B

I wonder what question he asks himself daily?

Lotus Esprit near me.

AIM L0

Two local butchers - M1NCE and G1GOTS. Loving the butcher chat. Used to work in the same building as a tw4t of a lawyer ... SUE 1M.

When I've got some spare cash I'm getting OMG, WTF, LOL or similar.

A mate has his initials, part of me likes it, part thinks its naff.

A good number of these just don't work (admittedly I'm assuming UK, alpin aside), as is always the way on these threads...

Couple of mature unassuming middle age ladies driving a beige VW Caravelle

I thought they were sisters

As they drove away I saw the plate......H8 COX

Bloke in my old village had PEN 15 on a Black BMW convertible years ago - suited him

Anyone around Brighton see Dave Day in his new Bentley - it has the most amazing paint job and MR LION plate which he keep getting fines for as he has obviously moved the L to the right

I wonder what question he asks himself daily?

Probably, "Why, oh why did I sell the Vanquish?"

Spotted this on the M4 en route to Afan one day.

Just remembered a Megane Sport used to come past me on the A1 with the number plate VAA V44, might have been the other way round but linked in well with the vaa vaa voom advertising.

I spotted a busty milf in a convertible BMW with the registration J120NME.
She gave me a wink when she saw that I had twigged it, dirty mare.

CountZero

Seriously, why?
Life's too short, etc.

For pretty much the exact same reason I hate txt speak. If I receive a text along the lines of "alr8 m8, whts up wht u? I find it annoying to read. The fact that someone would spend money (sometimes quite a lot) to adorn their car with such grammatical shambles I find pretty tragic. If someone on this forum was posting in text speak on a daily basis he'd annoy a lot of people wouldn't you say?

As I said, I don't find car models on plates so annoying, usually because a 911 or a 458 for example can have a plate that says exactly that. It's a bit brash, but at least it's not an affront to grammaticality. Initials I can just about tolerate but I find it puzzling why anyone would want to broadcast who they are via that medium.

Was she dyslexic?

Was she dyslexic

I knew a bloke who's initials were JRK. Someone pointed out that his number plate looked like 'Jerk'
I had a customer who had an old Triumph Mayflower with the reg 'OPT 8', an optician offered him silly money for the plate alone but the owner declined.

^^ wahey! 😀

There's a girl round my way who owns a cleaning firm. The plate on her van reads MI55 MOP.

The attractive, tall accounts lady at our work had wnk as the letters on her mini, guess what it got christened?

^^ charlie?

Girl at my uni drives with a plate A11 FUD.

T13 VAH on (I think) a Scooby.

We got one for Abigale, A816ALE, it on a Fiat 500. She likes it.

So.

far.

Girl near me has a Citreon C3 reg something like DE** DOH so she has a picture of homer after the DOH 😀

Her mate told me the car just came with that as standard.

There was a family owned ice cream parlour and vans in E. yorks. They had a TRY 99S and BUY 99S which always made me chuckle. Company has disappeared now but saw one of the plates on a small Toyota recently.

There's an M3 around here who has something like 51LY TOY. Not sure exactly on the lettering but it reads as silly toy which amuses me

Saw GG W1N on a Bentley and we used to have GAY 69 in for repair when I had a proper job.

Deleted pic from old phone but there's a 4x4 round here with VA61NAL.

Silver Range Rover in Leicester has Sikh (Khanda?) symbols on his reg and I assume goes by the name of JJ Singh - his reg?

JJ 5inch

Ummm....

A couple near me have BU51MUM and BU51DAD

V461 NAS. On a yellow Renault. In Fort William. That must be the shittest overall combination?

Yet another customer of mine had plates, GYM 1, GYM 2, GYM 3 etc on his vans. He even changed the name of his logo's on the vans to Gym A* Transport, instead if Jim A* Transport. That seemed weird as he had nowt to with gym's or fitness!

V461 NAS.

saw a car with N8 NCE

who knows what he thought it said but it looked like nonce to me and my mate.

Porta loo company near me has LO05 BOG on one of their trucks

A couple near me have BU51MUM and BU51DAD

I've seen BU51 COW on an Audi, being driven by a woman in a hurry.

Took this along The Embarcadero, same plate on the back so guess it's for real.

This made me chuckle on the back of a Toyota Supra S933RMS

Oh, and just to say

JJ 5inch

Saw EIEIO in New Zealand a few years ago.

S933RMS -SPEERMS

I saw WE57 HAM on a Range Rover Sport recently.

A local tree surgeon has LOP 1T on his Defender.

I have a plate based on my initials. I absolutely love it, and it makes me smile everytime I see it. Doensn't matter a jot if no-one else gets it...

I saw FOD 1S on a car a while back.
The driver must have been Portuguese.

I don't like the awful combinations of letters, I just think they look tragic when you know it's [i]supposed[/i] to say something but you can't work out what...

I like the idea of a secret code that only very few people would 'get' but those who did would chuckle. The best one I've seen is TH10 SUX. Meaningless to the average individual but if you're an anaesthetist or A&E doc you might recognise it as Thio, Sux. AKA the ingredients for a rapid-sequence induction. The more tenuous the better! In a similar vein, I quite fancy M970 XTR. Can't seem to buy it anywhere though.

I do like the idea of buying a timeless plate and keeping an older (and slightly different) car well-serviced and shiny. Maybe a BMW Z4 Coop or [s]Boxster[/s] Coxster. No idea where the bike would go though.

2 on anaesthetists cars round here are DR02GAS and TT GAS, which used to be on a TT but I don't think it is any more.

Knee surgeon has N6 ACL.

I've not seen V14GRA for a while, it used to be on an old Rav 4.

RUN 1T on a porsche.

D1 WHY on a property developers truck.

I suspect Sheffield may be second only to Wilmslow for private plates and Range Rovers.

For pretty much the exact same reason I hate txt speak. If I receive a text along the lines of "alr8 m8, whts up wht u? I find it annoying to read.

See a couple of Audi Q7 s running around with X5 and then combination of letters that I assume are their initials. Presume they are hanging on to the plates in case they do buy another X5. Makes me laugh though.
