Stolen from Passionford, but thought you'd approve.

Shame such a lovely car had to be lumped with a number plate like that

Phate · 5 Sep 2007 at 10:00

That is the "BMW" attitude right there.

Tommy B · 5 Sep 2007 at 10:03

Can someone explain to me that whole BMW driver thing?

I would have thought people generally despise Porsche drivers more so.

WTF are you talking about?!?! :confused:

It's a CSL being driven around a track, what is so BMW attitude about that?

Everyone goes on about BMW drivers, how it's always a BMW driver that will undertake you and drive like a complete ****** and generally an arse on the road.

I call this the "BMW Attitude" - as it's not the case because any driver can be like that but people always say "BMW Drivers"

but that number plate - C5L FU says to me "I drive a CSL everyone else can shov it as I'm better than them" - therefore - "BMW" attitude, or this stereptypical one.

I like how you can tell what people are like just by looking at their registration plate. That's an impressive skill.

Oh please! Yer I'm really sure he thinks that... :rolleyes:

Or, more likely, it's just a cheeky number plate which raises a smile from everyone who doesn't have some sort of complex

Yes I'm in a bad mood this morning

Anywho, cool plate imo.

Constructive.

I quite like the plate, shows the owner has a sense of humour.

Your probably right, but I was just saying the first impression I got from that plate.

To be fair a driver of any car despite of make and model with a reg spaced so that FU stands out is likely to have an attitude problem, or some kind of disfunction. Assuming its meant to be read as **** you which I'm pretty confident it is.

He's steering in the wrong direction if he wants to hit the next apex

Or maybe, just maybe, its a joke numberplate that is not to be taken seriously like people such as yourselves have just done

Not really. He could be about to turn. Depends on the rest of the corner and its exit as to where you hit the apex.

No, because the C5L should be separated so you can see the CSL reference, and the FU is clearly the drivers initials, Frodo Underhill.
Assuming it's not, it could be a present to a loved one, where the FU could stand "For You" (i.e. I bought this CSL FU) or, it could be that there were no other registration plates with CSL that the owner wanted to spend more money on.

In fact... the word "you" doesn't even start with a U.

or he could be aiming for a bit of the old "scandanavian flick" in order to drift it through the next corner
