When you've got more money than you know what to do with it, gotta spend it on something I guess.

How much was/is LEE 1? LEE 449 is a bit???

F 1, JAG 2, R3NT BOY etc are at least interesting.

If it makes you happier though, then fair enough. Maybe it's car number 449 of a 450 car garage. What car is it? Got a Lambo yet?

Yeah it’s hard to see the point.

All personalised plates, no matter what configuration of letters and numbers they comprise of, say only one thing. It rhymes with anker.

You don't have to see the point... Perhaps there are things that you spend your money on that other people will attribute to people that also rhyme with anker and that's fine but to essentially call people that have a private plate a certain derogatory word speaks more about you than them....

No, I don't have a private plate.

Some private plates scream desperation, when you see odd spacing and screws to make them look like something else.

Others are perfectly fine. For example, my surname is five letters and the second letter is an A. I’ve seen what would be a perfect plate which was my surname but the second character was a 4 and it looked pretty good.

I have a personal plate. It means nothing to anyone else. The spacing is correct, it’s the old style, letter, number, three letters. The only people who would know it’s a personal plate are those who share the same hobby as me and many of those have similar plates.
 
I've a personal plate in the old format as well - letter, three numbers, three letters. The letter is J which puts it around... 1990? But I've had it on 2009 and 2003 cars.

It's got sentimental value as it was on a company car and the business owner has been very supportive of me in life.

I saw a personal plate on a car in my local garage. Talked to the owner and his plate was to celebrate him being sober for 10 years (presumably after a drink issue). So not all personal plate owners are t**ts

Ditto, we have a VW T5 camper with the numberplate T5 XXX.

We inherited the plate off an old MX5 but kept it when that car had to be scrapped.

We thought it would be fitting to put it on the van. It’s just a bit of fun and it hasn’t cost us anything.
 
The plate spells my name without any dodgy spacing or added screw caps. Like I said, I'd only ever buy a dateless plate and not something I have to mess about with to resemble a word. :)
 
I have a personalised plate - 2345 XX (XX being my initials). I inherited it from my father, of the same initials, and I would never part with it. It reminds me of him and his car when I was younger.

Probably worth more than my car though...

I don't know why anyone would waste their money on a private plate unless it contains the word 'BO55' on a rapidly dating Range Rover at least two generations old and ideally still on finance.

I have a personal plate but it's not of my name, it starts with T5, which is the model of the car. It was the cheapest one you can get at £250.

I couldn’t decide what to pick the last 3 letters so I went for WUT. :D

No reason at all, just because.

When I was a student in Edinburgh back in the 80s there was a beautiful, pale metallic blue Rolls Royce that we would regularly see in our area. The registration was CLA 55!
