Maybe you should go for P33 NIS :lol:. (jokes)

I've got someone in my village with the plate 'P15 EAD' Hopefully it's an uncanny mistake and they're 'EAD' are the initials, but it just looks like P1ss head to me :shrug:.

Dirty plates are always the funny ones, still wouldn't want it on my car though :lol:

This thread did get me thinking; I have had my private reg - P3ETE - for years, and never had a clue if it was popular or not. So I checked the value on one of the reg trader sites, and they reckon it is worth ÂŁ5,500 - not bad for a ÂŁ250 investment all those years ago! I dunno how accurate that valuation is, of course...

I don't have any plans to sell it, but it's always good to know what it might be worth!

Any plate that spells out a name, especially a first name, or a surname like Khan, Singh, Jones, Smith are worth small fortunes.

Hard to come by for starters, but S7EVE and ST3 VEE etc all sell upwards of a few grand.

It's worth giving P3ETE a list on auction but have a reserve of say 10k on it, hard to turn down 10 grand - unless the plat holds huge sentimental value to you (And money isn't much of an issue...)

That's actually a phenominal plate :eyebulge:. No joking that's jumped to #1 on my list currently. I'm still annoyed it's a full plate, which is a bit of a pet peve of mine.

Still, it's a double barreled meaning. STIG SNM - STIG stephen N Mander, or Say No More (More youthful meaning to it...)
There's only one Stig round these parts young pretender :paddle: ;)

Despite the Top Gear association, it's been my nickname for far longer than that character's been around.

Just wanna be you matey ;).

Jokes aside, it's a cool plate, but it punts itself #1 on my list because SM 57ANG is a plate that'll only ever work on my Mustang, if i have a lapse of sense and buy another car over the Mustang down the line, plate loses it's effect.

You're better off with a plate which implies your name at least so that, as you say, you can transfer from car to car - unless your name is Stig Manders? ;)

That's why I went with ST16 TOY. I have several vehicles (and several private plates!) and this will always be on my 'weekend car', so opted for something that was instantly recognisable for those that know me and wasn't partiuclarly associated with the car.

That said, it's probably money better spent on mods (or trackdays) anyway!

SNM is my initials :frusty:. But dual meaning with 'Say no more'

I'd like a plate that was Number Number SM or Leter Number SM - if anyone finds one tell me please :D

He's bought an Ecoboost. :D
Not because of money reasons. Well, slightly. I wasn't willing to pay 3,300 to insure the V8. And the additional running costs.

I'm not 330k on a plate loaded. [MENTION=17540]NornIron91[/MENTION] maybe letter number S M is cheaper?

Longer than Stig Blomqvist?

(penalty points if you have to look that one up)
