Snoop Nice Wheels!

Whilst leaving the Army Air Corps Headquarters at Middle Wallop this evening I spotted a superb number plate on a Range Rover.
"A2 YNX" in a lovely script type font so it appears as "A LYNX".
Very nice.
Will anyone own up to it or does anyone have any others to share.

One of my favourites, owned by a Bookie was A150 RAN. And a few years ago, I saw FAT 61T driven by .... you've guessed it! AT least he could be self-deprecating about his stature!

There used to be a Jaguar running around Henley-on-Thames with 150BEL and another car with RAD10 1.

I once saw a taxi with 130LOX which I rather liked and a very smart Transit van belonging to a well known perfume manufacturer with the reg NO 5.

Rub it in!

Years ago I spotted KYJ311Y. A nicely lubricated machine.
And have also seen H13NDA on a ........ You've guessed it.

Amazing how the digits merge to give the right message, usually late at night, bleary eyed and very, very tired.

Kettering! But I think, if you order a car from new, you can get whatever you want (and is available) no matter where you live!

I've emailed the DVLA to see if I can reserve it or buy it when its released but not heard back from them!

No doubt it will go in one of their over priced auctions!

Round here in in the Ribble Valley area we have DEN 1S, another with
MEN 1S I have seen TEN 1S in Bolton and I have SEN 1S a friend of mine has SEN15, a nice looking blonde lady drive a Soverign with D1 ANA, and a large lady drives a Range Rover with 44 DD never got close to her though, However I think the strangest I have seen was on the Gt Howard Street along the Docks in Liverpool driven by a rather large handy looking sort of man who was of Carribean origin driving a large Merc 500 with the reg N1 GAH ( I saw the irony as he approached me, always wonder if he saw my smile) but he could be called Gordon

The best one I ever saw, which made me take a long, lingering secong look was on a blue Renault Clio Williams in Macclesfield driven by a Pamela Anderson lookalike. It was B10 JOB.
