Had to google that Foxy. Can't remember them, might have been a regional thing.
Look real cumbersome. |

reminded me of the AA bikes in the late 50s/early 60s.
My Dad was a member with the badge on the frint of the car. Remember the bikers saluting when they saw the badge. |

I think it was a London expression aka, nowadays the AA man is more likely to give the one fingered salute!.

Saw this in either Stirling or Perth. C31TIC or similar.
Good plate if yer a fan but must make the car a target for the nutters. |

People who buy them are F345 PRX

They won't seem a very good investment when we're all using driverless cars.
|

By:
will driverless cars not require a number plate?

By:
bloke used to drive a top of the range soft top beamer around nottingham in the 90s-U PR1X-he lost the car and the plate in a game of backgammon,made me smile.

By:
There should only be one private plate available, and that's 1MA PR1K.

When the transport revolution comes in there will be little point in owning a vehicle so no point in owning such a plate. |

By:
There is a dizzy blonde housewife driving a Range Rover who live in my town with the plate 'ORGA5M'. Why, oh why??

Forum names in caps are similarly dubious imo.

Have to admit to buying two numbers. ________________ now ,why does that not surprise me ?  |

I once saw a black beemer coming out of a Golf course in Surrey ...CUE 8OY
I wonder who owns that ? |
|
By:
Quite happy to admit that I've had two of them.
The first one on my RX8, simply because adding a GB massive plate, into the otherwise stylish grille, would have totally ruined the look of it (they don't show hideous number plates in promotional brochures)! I bought A17 RXB which read as AN RX8.... Cost £250.00 and got this back as additional to the sale price. Second one T16 MPS for my Mazda 6 MPS. This read as Ti6 MPS (Turbo injection 6 MPS). Cost £250.00 but bought back, for £350.00, by the main dealer for his own car. My biggest regret was not buying another one, again for £250.00, as an investment! MY 51 RON.....MY 5 IRON....Just another RON plate, but significant for golfers, and not picked up by DVLA.... Needless to say, that when I made the decision to buy it, just a few days later, it was gone! |

By:
Of course, I just realised that this is an ancient thread, on which I will have commented before!
The other issue with the RX8, was that it was far from ideal to restrict cooling air to the radiator! |

This number is currently on a Bentley Continental GT..... |

Show your vehicle reg number, and I will use my psychic powers to tell you what you drive.....
|
|
By:
I can do that, too, Aunty
 |
|
By:
Perhaps we should keep this to ourselves now!
Interestingly, my e-type is still showing as black, but was completely de-trimmedand re-finished in red, shortly after delivery! Surprising that, over the years, this hasn't been picked up at some point! |
|
By:
You would have thought so, Aunty.

Cue 80Y is owned by Jimmy White I believe.

I know a chap who has a personalised number plate which was a 21st birthday gift from his parents. He hates it. "As soon as dad dies, it's coming off." |

That sounds like motive to me Ramruma.
