Memory switched back on .... Might have been Scarlet Green

condor .

My car reg is: XL04DYO
on a show plate it reads X L04DY 0
Perhaps also once a yodeller?

I believe that he may also have said virtually the same thing about people who make a personalised decision about what colour of car they prefer....:rolleyes:

I was waiting to cross a road in Central Lincoln in around 1991 when a Roller or Bentley (not sure which) trundled by with the plate 1RAF. That could not have been cheap.

Best plate I ever saw was on the front of a Lamborgini Diablo and it read T13 VOM. It took me a while to realize that if he was behind you and you looked in your rearview mirror, it read MOV E1T.

I’ve had one in my rear view mirror that said ECILOP. I pulled in let it past. Tasteless paint job on it.

Colleague of mine left to work for a job with the Home Office purchasing police cars. I drew up a farewell card depicting a jam sandwiched Reliant Robin with Bodicea hubcaps sporting the number plate F1 LTH...

Not P1G?

Seen in South Africa:

What would he have said about personalised aircraft registrations ? My reply would be G-OFYS.

…..and a few years ago now and around Cambridge, a “ Roller” (I think) with 10 CC number plate

I'll never forget going through training with someone who had FA51 JET. A bold move while at Linton on the Tucano, and I wonder how well received it was wherever he went next; which wasn't Valley..!

An amusing one I saw parked outside the local flying club was a bright red Ferrari with “R8 PAL”. A commonly used greeting in this part of the world.

Coming the other way today: 32 BA.

A junk car, so clearly not a BA employee.

Sighted my all-time US favourite when heading to my daughter's beach house in the Hamptons - a blue metallic Jaguar convertible with the top down in the High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane of the Long Island Expressway, which requires a minimum of two occupants. Occupants in this case, one man and an Alsatian, with the Jaguar sporting the license tag BOLLOX....

I subsequently asked a friendly state trooper if the definition of "occupant" included four-legged friends and, after a moment of reflection, he replied, "Only if it is a seeing-eye dog, Sir"!:D

I vaguely recall someone writing someplace that there is a “Thing” in the USN that the Commanding Officer of many vessels have “Vanity Plates” with the ship’s pendant number thereupon and they are transferred to new COs.
I have no idea if this is truth or fiction. It may even have been in one of Tom Clancy’s novels.
