Geeky number plate spotting - anyone else suffer?

Before the new plates came in I used to add together all the digits on the numberplate, then add the digits of the answer together to get a single number. It used to drive me crazy, but when the new numbers came out I managed to break the habit - I think adding together just two numbers wasn't challengine enought for my head so it stopped its compulsion.
 
Must be something about Shefflied, coming back from the Meadowhall today I follwed a car with the number N228FKU, I kid you not.

Saw this in the station car park at the girlie meet. Unfortunately it was a Ford Focus or something similar and not a TVR/Lamborgini/Ferrari/insert 'cool' car here :(

Related fun from the USA. A website used freedom of information laws to get copies of letters of complaint about number plates from Florida and Wisconsin.

One was quite innovative...the plate was 6Q 2Q. A little tape was added to make a minus sign: 6Q -2Q Which is 4Q.

That is way too much thinking for a joke number plate. I feel as if I'm missing out haven't noticed a single geeky number plate.
 
There is a plumbing company near us and on the van it says LO0 2 TAP and an adhesives company with G1UED
 
I actually work in vehicle removal for a living, and im always memorizing number plates... I can also remember my parents cars number plates back from when I was like 9.. right up from an A reg Maestro my dad had upto their 4x4 and my mums sports car
 
When the new registration system came out, where the first two lettters apply to a certain region (well the first one is the area and then the second letter applies to the DVLA office) I set myself a challenge to see if I could spot all the combinations.....AB, AC, AE, etc.
So I went on the DVLA website, printed off all the possible combinations, and made them into a sort of chart. I had a little piece of paper in my car and if I spotted one when I was out, I would jot it down and then put it on the chart when I went home. I got almost 3/4's in the year and a half I did it due to various trips around the country.
I can still remember some of the regions now, like S is Scotland, C is for Cardiff, and W is for Bristol (B isnt Bristol because I think Birmingham got priority)
Go on then laugh :D
