This puts the word "bargain" into perspective

We used to have a kiddy who raced around our town in a very tastefully modded (NOT!!!), bright yellow Focus with a plate that ended in "NOB". I always thought that was quite appropriate... :lol:
Of limited interest, but this was a bargain; they normally sell for around £500 or more!
Personalised registration plates are, in my opinion, the height of vulgar ostentation. Who cares if the letters match your initials?Quote:

Some years later (this would have been about 25 - 30 years ago), he was approached by someone whose initials were 'RHW' and was offered £3500 for the number. My father declined the offer!
Given the number of compression drivers, these could be quite a bargain

I'd be dubious about hooking them up to some big tube amps as the seller suggests as there's a good chance you'll never hear anything ever again. :eek:
Indeed, such shit is the ultimate in vulgarity... 'TWAT 1' would be most appropriate for people of such an unfortunate inclination ;)Quote:

However, your old man was mad not to take that dafty's money off of him. Clearly, having gone in at £3.5k, he'd have gone much higher...
I'd have squeezed as close to £5k as possible out of the idiot, and then spent it on vintage claret, cutsie party frocks and loose women, not necessarily in that order... :eyebrows:

prestonchipfryer, do you see anything missing from this picture? :eyebrows:

Man ! I was thinking about changing my name to my car registration number .:mental:
You know . Something like BLO4 SSU . ;) But the wife didn't want to be called Mrs SSU.
The figure might have been £3000 (I was rather a long time ago), but my father simply couldn't be fussed with all the bureaucracy and paperwork required to change a car's plate.Quote:

It's ok for me Dave, Ebay & here :)
Odd, everything else seems to be working ok... :scratch:
It must be a localised problem because I'm having the same problem on all the comps in the house on both networks (One supplied by Orange and t'other by Virgin)...
ebay off for me as well. missing out on loadsa bargains.
It's all ok here.
I've not been able to get on to Ebay this evening, nor was I this morning. So it's not just Northants
OK for me all day and this evening.
Can't get in my on-line banking though (Nationwide) says that they have problems.
Very odd, it's still fine for me :scratch: Must be the ISP that's causing the problem?
:confused:
I think that for £3k+ I'd have put up with it! ;)Quote:

If we are on a thread drift about registration numbers this one made me smile at the time.

An unusual registration number ! - T1 WAT by Mark G. in England, on Flickr
We where in Bamburgh in Northumberland for a few days away (ages ago, September 2010) and it's never easy finding a parking space in the village centre near the Victoria hotel in the evening and I spotted a space at the same time as the driver of the Black Discovery, the Discovery beat me to the space... then I noticed the registration number :lol:
(Sneaky picture taken of discovery reg number with mobile phone while no one around :eyebrows:)
If people dont know where Bamburgh is it is here,

Lovely beaches and scenery.
google maps street view of that very street which has a different black discovery parked in the same place, spooky or what.:eek:

(Plus having it on my car now causes much merriment as people try to work out the relevance to me...) I also have a very good one for my own initials, but that is on my wife's car, and again causes head-scratching as people can see it is a private number but bears no relation to her. :)
I reckon that "1 RHW" would be worth well over £10k these days - I'm no expert, just a hunch - but I love seeing a "classic" plate.Quote:

Yes it's not to be taken seriously, but lighten up guys, it's only a bit of fun!
I'm sorry Alex, but I can see both points of view :rolleyes:
I think I'd rather spend the wonga on something other than a bit of plastic at the end of the day, you know, something useful ;)
Fair 'nough matey - but in reality registrations are a pretty good investment these days. :)Quote:
