I'm not sure how it works but you can keep your private reg if you want. The reg which was on your car to begin with is reassigned back to the vehicle if you sell it (I think) and your private reg is then allocated to your new car. My sister has had the same reg on her last four cars.

Oh, thanks for that! Makes it easier to remember I guess! I am useless with numbery things. Though a car that belonged to a now ex member of my family, someone had written in biro just above the drivers door, the number plate of the car. I can still remember it, oddly, I think it stuck in my head because I had never seen something like that before. I think it was a Ford Escort, it was a Ford somethingorother anyway.

 Saw this one a few days ago. Not sure what it had fallen off, but it's brilliant. I can imagine Gene Hunt going for a plate like that... |

LOL!
I saw a pretty good one a few days ago, and forgot all about it until now.
It was on a car that I wouldn't describe as speedy exactly - I forget now what it was, but it was certainly not something that conjures up the image of speed, whatever it was.
And the plate read - V 12 I BET (V121BET). I almost choked ;D

There is a chap around here that drives an old yellow Rolls Royce with the registration plate TIT 1S I NEED THAT FOR MY CAR (when I get it)! Anyone who's ever seen me will understand why. In fact, there are photos of me on this board that explain why... And I love the V12 one ;D |

One of my faves was just after we'd met John Cleese in London, a car drove past (didn't see the driver) and the number plate was S1 LLY... it had to be him! ;D

I saw RO55YYY the other day. Don't suppose it belongs to Jonathan though.

Wouldn't his be W055YYY? ;D
Perhaps it was Francis?

That occurred to me at the time but that would have to be RO55III and I don't think they use I on registration Nos.

There's one at my old school on a mum's 4x4 which was V 8USY ;D And there was a car we were going to buy until we noticed that the last three letters of the plate were YUK  |

We spotted at a garden centre today and by strange coincidence, MOH had seen it a few months ago round the corner from his place, about 15 miles away! I assume it belongs to a different Jeremy...  And this one was at a garden centre that specialises in compost!  |

Seen on my travels:
AI. VEY (with the full stop) which was deliberate as the E was actually an F with 2 studs at the bottom to make it into an E, so no doubt as to the religion of the owner!
I don't know how they'd configured to other 2, as they'd obviously played about with the way they were put on the plate, and looking at them now I can't see how it was done. However, they clearly came across as
BAT BOY
and
TYGER T

One I saw a couple of days ago while on the way home from work.
A rather elderly Land Rover with the plate MY LANDY ;D
I'm assuming that the plate is actually meant to read MY ?4 NDY and has been put onto an older car. It made me chuckle muchly.

I found one the other day, a Rangey that had B1G G4Y as the plate. And a mate of mine got stuck behind one whose plate was JIZZ 3 ;D

Saw one today on a BMW convertible with the plate PEN 18, where the owner had fiddled about to make it look a bit like PEN 15. It just made him look like a bit of a pr1ck.

Well, as far as I'm concerned, BMW has always stood for "British Male W*nker" anyway.

Saw a flash new Merc with the registration 'MR F1T'. I saw the driver though; the plate was lying, he was a bit of a M1N GER. Ah well, perhaps 'MR TW4T' wasn't available...
