philmayfield 6,128 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I once bought a pickup truck as a factory run about and that came with different registrations on the front and rear! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Thankfully their is a bit of a backlash against the mucked about plates using bolts & letters for numbers etc ... does make you look a bit of a plonker, I love spotting them. Fletcher Gate car park .... what a ....! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,128 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Not only does it make you look stupid but it is a good reason for being stopped when the police are not very busy. That’s when they discover the fact that you’re over the drink limit or are carrying ‘substances’ for ‘personal’ use. It’s always better to keep a low profile especially if the lady sitting next to you is not your wife! Please note I don’t speak from personal experience and have never been stopped. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,128 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I only wish, no pray, it was Margie. I have 3 plates, two on family cars and one on retention all of which allude to my surname and none of which I bought for more than £250. I’ll leave you to guess! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,128 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 My wife’s car ends in MAY, but not mine and my son’s three plates, one of which is on retention. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Is it M4 MOG. ( MOG being miserable old git - by your own admission - BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IT!) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,128 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 People with Morgans strive to find a MOG plate but It’s not that and I don’t have a Morgan at the moment. I wish I had but could I still get into one? But, yes miserable old git would fit my wife’s description of me! The Morgan in the avatar is E33UGP and still survives.

philmayfield 6,128 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I would think Lynx Jaguar would be seriously interested in that. Probably worth more than the car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Always my thoughts Carni. Or maybe drug running. I always cringe when I see four chaps in a BMW, and wearing baseball caps and hoodies etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
