Failed its test for the plate last summer. Was he a pimp or something? If that is his surname I feel sorry for the man. We had a guy at work who's last name was minge. He always used used to correct people and say it was pronounced min-gey.

does anyone get pulled for stuff like that anymore? I see so many cars with blacked out from side windows, so dodgy!!

I have one, but its on a gold chain and I only wear it round my neck while making love and listening to early 90's Hip Hop.

I would guess it depends on the area / if theyre known to police.
I have a friend who seems to be a police magnet - completely legal car but seems to get pulled over a lot for it. Where as the rest of us seem to be fine. Just a weird one.

I never thought I would have a personal plate, but snagged one last year with <my initials> 04 OOF - it makes me chuckle, my daughters (as gamers) find it funny, and my wife thinks it is silly
It does not look out of place on my 740Ld

Some private plates are great , Stobart for example have S708ART on one of their directors Range Rovers but I fully agree BO55 type plates, just no.

I guess it's a form of self expression. Some people get their face tattooed, some people get a private plate. I have a private plate, but so far have resisted face tattoos.
Regarding value, I got mine for £400 when the DVLA started selling plates directly, about 15 years ago. If it's now worth less or more, so be it. I'll never get one which better resembles my name, so I'm keeping it.
I actually like those 3d/4d plates, in a standard font. Someone from motors pointed out that they're reminiscent of those old plates from many years ago, where the digits were glued on. Half of the time 1 or 2 digits would have fallen off but you could still see the outline!

M1 NGE was the best plate I have seen. Used to be parked just outside 'spin in' records, Manchester in the early 90's

Classy guys.
Shouting about his 40 grand car (seriously, who pays 40k for a VW) whilst there's a 300 grand coach in front of him.
As a bus driver, unfortunately I have come across this before. My way of dealing with it is just to bang hazards on, turn engine off & feet up on dash. They soon move.
Took me so long to get this... BMW M1? M1 Nigel? Nigel's M1? OHHH. Got there in the end.M1 NGE was the best plate I have seen. Used to be parked just outside 'spin in' records, Manchester in the early 90's

40 grand car. What a baller in his diesel VW with R badges on finance. The plate, the t shirt. What a bell end.

The coach driver should've asked someone to watch him back if his excuse for not moving was he cannot see behind him. Regardless of who had right of way, the coach driver was working at the time, with his employers details emblazoned in huge writing on the coach. He should have just moved.
Of course the VW driver is an idiot. I would've just moved out of his way and done a massive overbite grin as he went by.

I've not watched the video with sound, only skipped through it. I've prejudge the guycry, but surely even retards must realise its much easier for a car to reverse compared to a coach, and also I've always found the bigger vehicle wins.
