I change my name by deed poll to my licence plate whenever I get a new car. Much cheaper.

Several years ago I registered to bid on the DVLA auction site with a view to buying PW58 , I had a figure of £5k in mind. Bidding went v. quickly and surpassed my figure in seconds!
In hindsight I’m glad I didn’t win it, I’ve grown beyond these things and frankly I’d feel like a dick driving around with a fancy number plate like this. Maybe its an age thing, but the less attention I attract the better, I’m happy to fly under the radar when I’m out and about.
There are loads of drivers who drive with PW58 plates without feeling like a dick. Mind, they didn’t fork out £5k + for the privilege.

Why on a car?
Get t-shirts printed with PW58 (or whatever) far cheaper.
Saw AUD 1 on a black Audi last night. Correctly spaced as well.

I saw TZ 1 a few years ago on a poverty spec Jag XF and remember thinking it would suit a certain wristwatch manufacturer and internet forum owner. I assume it belongs to the wife of a prominent local businessman who's had UZ 1 on his various Rolls Royce over the years.
Just checked and TZ 1 is now on a 2016 VW Polo, so no doubt a case of the plate being worth more than the car.
Exactly! Wasted if he is not a plumber.
Saw this car today with a couple of gents sitting in the front. Needless to say I took the photo subtly!
At a Heathrow hotel today…
Must’ve been pricey.

Illegal plates, impound the cars!
BA53ARD on a blacked out Merc G Wagen in Clitheroe yesterday. Being driven like a granny! Obviously thinks he’s “ard”
No picture as someone was in it at the time but I saw "MB 1" on a dark coloured Rolls Royce Silver Seraph outside work yesterday. Previously owned by Max Bygraves and purchased by Regtransfers for £100k in 1998 according to their site so probably worth a fair bit now...
Local corrola has
LS10WRY on it
Probably an art fan
My lad spotted this on Twitter
Needs a little bit of squinting and acceptance that it's not perfect but I reckon that's quite clever
Local carpentry company around my way called Kalinka carpentry has KAll NKA on one vehicle and K411 NKA on another.

Seen today on the M40 heading north. Canary yellow Porsche GT4 - Plate GT04 EGO
In Ayr earlier & saw B1 FFY on a Tesla Model 3.
(The boys from Biffy Clyro have houses locally. No idea if it's one of them, though!)
