My late father once bought a Daimler V8 car which happened to have the reg: 1 RHW. Those weren't his initials but he retained the number plate for successive cars as it was easy to remember. He was offered a relative fortune for it by someone who's intitials were RHW, but declined.
I can understand the vanity of those seeking plates containing the initials of the owner, especially if it is preceded, or followed with a "1", but plates which supposedly spell out a name or message are IMO naff.

TOG - "Terry's Old Geezers".
Now we know what you listened to on the daily commute.

Oh I dont know. I wouldnt mind my initials followed by 1 until I saw the general price that would cost. I dont think its available anyway.
Its a status symbol and I only think it gets naff when they try and spell the name of something using letters and numbers.
so I think the point Im trying to make is if it can be tastefully done when some would say the whole thing is a bit tasteless.
I suppose you are likely to get a bit of attitude from them in a road rage incident...Do you know who I am.

TOG actually comes from the 60's childrens program Pogles' Wood ... here's a pic of TOG...:

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Given the prevalence of selfish, discourteous and just plain bad drivers, the obvious personalised plate to go for is FU 2.
