|  Number plates gone mad.
Why oh why do people get number plates that match their cars model? (ITS WRITTEN ON THE CAR STUPID!)
I saw a GTO with X123 GTO M5 123 on an M5 and TVR 123X on a fiat chinquetento (Maybee the last one was luck of the draw?)
Am I missing something shall I go out and buy A3 4UDI ? Or why don't I get W47 NNE and just remind myself of my name when I see the car!

I quite like private plates if they're witty. I cannot stand it when the digits get moved about and yellow and black screw heads are used in the wrong places.
THe best I've seen was T13 VOM on a Porsche 911 Turbo. | |

HDI T13 VOM - "MOVE IT" I like - I took me a while and I had to hold up a mirror! That is a clever one.

TITAN dont think its a teenage thing. it more personal. me i never minded that my prelude was 17 year old. and those who know their cars are able to give a rough age to it anyway. plus you cant put a newer plate on a older car.

If you don't want everyone to know you drive a car that is 14 years old...then why drive that car?
I'm 20 and I think personalised number plates look tacky unless they are clever...even still I wouldn't have one. I'm proud that my car was born in 1999...the 'V' on my plate shows that and I have no intentions of removing it.
