    SW Sheffield is awash with single and double digit/letter combinations.

    Most pass me by but I did like SV 15 FAB on a Lamborghini Aventador SV I saw parked on Ecclesall Road this lunchtime.

    Taking these two out for a run today while the weather is nice.

    The plates on them won’t mean anything to anyone else, but they’re important to me

    A good plate ...

    Was in SINGH S1 NGH that fetched a ridiculous amount of money a few years ago? That is a mis-spaced plate, yet it sold for more than your average car and then some, so clearly mis-spacing a plate does not automatically make a plate shit.

    That is a mis-spaced plate
    Not as you have quoted it, (S1 NGH)

    My view is that changing the placement of spacing/bolts/number shapes or indeed anything else automatically does indeed make it sh*t.
    S1 NGH properly spaced then , would be great, (although it doesn't appear to be taxed or on the MID).

    That is why I put it up as an owner would and the correct spacing. I'm perfectly aware of how it is supposed to be displayed. And according to we buy any car, it's currently sitting on a black Audi A8

    No, the Audi is on the plate.

    I was overtaken on the M3 the other day by a blue Lamborghini Gallardo with the plate "1234 GO". Got a chuckle from me and no dodgy spacing required!

    I remember the DVLA selling Y110NNE at one of their auctions. It sold for £11k IIRC.

    The only way to make it work is by tilting the two ones to make a V but clearly the DVLA were quite happy with this.

    Having seen it a few days ago it reminded me that T1CKS is often around Cardiff area currently on an Evoque. Seen plenty of D1CKS too mostly driving Mercs.

    A good plate ...

    Saw an A5 with THE 600D earlier on the M25 and it looked alright to me.

    Alas the 100% tool driving it lane swapping at speed before swerving across 3 lanes for his exit made him memorable for all the wrong reasons. 148bhp version on checking suggests he’s lacking.

    Missed the tacky merc wannabe AMG style plate this morning, but was waiting to swerve around parts of his car after he ran out of race track ‘talent’

    Porsche had THE 928S on their 928S press car back in the day and I used to have THE 850Y on an old Polo.

    If only it didn’t have the 5.....

    It would make a nice pair with IB 1, originally local to me and the first registration number ever issued in County Armagh, in 1903. Last seen on a BMW.

    ^^^^ That's what I thought. Assume you have seen what the car itself is advertising too?

    Not sure that works on a 6 series, I allways expect a bit of BS from a driver of one of those, despite it being quite a nice car but a bit unnecessary. ..

    Saw 71P the other day, suppose you could read it as ZIP or TIP maybe?

    As i understand it, the really short ones like that are the really valuable ones, so assume it's worth many times more than the 2004 Toyota Yaris it was on

    We're back into shit plate territory here. This is G690 RAL.
    This is rather like the "sleepers" thread on PH where a significant % of folk have no idea what a sleeper/q car is.

    Or just embrace it for the creative license. I am not making a comment on legality.

    I think we all know how the plate is supposed to be laid out and good or shit is a matter of personal opinion.

    For me a good plate makes me smile and this one certainly made me smile!

    I did have to smile at your comment given your username characters.

    Today I was chatting to the owner of LE55 TAX - owned by an accountant.

    Oh, go on, buy a Prius and fit it

    There's a pretty ordinary 4WD thing around the corner with the reg MS 3

    The plate must be worth many times the car to someone!

    I saw one yesterday that appeared to say “I AM SCOTT” but I haven’t a clue what it really is.
