Thats a good plate.

I don't have one on the mini, thats more due to lazyness than anything. Not surprised that the vast majority have private reg's though. :)

L3 NLP on our Mini.:D:D

Considered L2 LNP for the Mini but went with L3 NLP and I cant remember why.:I:I:I

L10RNA was available when we bought L2 NLP back in 1986 went with NLP because Lorna didn't want me driving on my own with LORNA on the plate.:I:IRegret it now because its worth a feckin fortune.

Neil and Lorna Poole.:D:D

[ajamesj]

I havea private plate on my Mini too.

[N12 JLK]

Now what could be on our plate:question:
N= Nicol
12= Kerr's birthday
J= Jason
L= Lesley
K = Kerr

The JLK is also in order of being born, yes Im the oldest fart!

[X30YES]

0006JCW is still for sale @ dvla just now......been watching it for ages now:p

[Sheilz]

me too :D:D:D:D
S9 ECY (specy 4 eyes)
Have just been offered HA04MSH but too late now that hamish belongs to someone else :blackeye:

[james f]

im debating R50 JWF for the mini as its only 250 quid

[indigomatt]

I've one too, I mean private plate :D

M - Matthew
77 - the year I was born, n' that is 1977 not 1877...!
R - Ronald
C - Charles
E - Elliott

What a silly name I have :p:D:D

[Mini Ecosse]

S 30 LSN on mini
S 3 LSN on xtrail

(S. Lawson)

[OBN]

Glad I'm not alone with matching plates..

K5 SSG currently on the Mini because that was what was left on it.

My plate since my 30th Birthday was M3 0BN - kept getting pulled when it was spaced M30 BN

New plate for the Mini is R5 BJN, which goes with my bikes R6 BJN, BJN being my initials

[KenL]

I don't have one but the plate we got with our Golf is a good match for me & my wife. I would think about getting a cheap one from DVLA in the future.

I have to say though my pet hate is people who play around with spacing, letter shapes or strategically placed screws.

I saw one numpty yesterday whose plate was N111 A** who had spaced it and placed a BIG screw to make it read N1NA **. Took me a while to work out what the plate really should have been - that's why the police "should" clamp down on this sort of thing!!!

[jayex]

Yip J7 XJC had it for years , its a pain when you change cars tho - the DVLA are sooooo slow :evil:

I'm with you LnL, dont get the whole thing, some of you guys are having a laugh. how people find some meaning in a row of random numbers is beyond me.

If I could get a plate that said PADDY, then maybe but a plate that says P4 IDI is just a row of random letters and numbers.;)

[john]

I have FSK 397 I bought a car with the number on it,kept the number and sold the car for a lot more than I paid for it;)

So who is spending on vanity:)not me:D

[markyc]

Had L5MDC put on my first brand new car and I've had the plate on every car since :D;) Thinking about it thats a lot of transfer fees :eek::eek::evil:;)

[Gordons_cooper_wrks]

Ive got 0G03DON (Gordon).

[johnsop1]

S55 PAJ

Paul Anthony Johnson

thought about getting S66 PAJ for my Aprilla Habana but having one personalised registration is sad enough I think. lol

[Sweeney]

I have "1 RLS"

1 = There for the sake of it...
RLS = Ryan Lee Sweeney

:) reg was bought for me many years ago by my dad.

Ive had no trouble with DVLA as well, on both the plates that I bought from there .

[GP 1536]

I'm sure I had a post on this thread ?? Maybe not.

I would have GP 1536.Enquired about it the other day through the DVLA and they said it was an very old plate that has probally died with the car when it was scrapped.They say that it's not possible to buy it once it's dead. :(

That wont happen.
Imagine if in 10 years time that car was found in a barn and restored, then there would be a double issued number.

Unless you can find the car, and ISTR get it roadworthy, the numberplate will be not be transferred.

MAR 10

They driver did look Italian

[Goldminione]

I don't have a private plate although I was looking at W99AJH for a while.

My initials Alan John Horne

[Kirsty]

I've got one!! P19 EEY (piggy) I have a tattoo of piglet from winnie the poo on my foot and my plate has the same picture. I tried to get piglet but it had already gone!! I'm now wondering whether to call my little purple mobile Miss Piggy instead of Ronnie!!! Seems to be a bit more girly these days HEE HEE!!!

[ianking]

Ive no got a private plate yet but I do fancy one. My parents both have them, dad = NDS 3V and mum = NS 3269. I would like a good but cheap plate that is as close to Ian as possible. Doubt I will ever get King as I was told it was the dearest plate in history. My grandad does have K5NGS though, I may get that one day.

Neil......H2NSF
Claire....N2CRF
Francis L2FRM (Claire's boyfriend..mini convert)
all bought as birthday presents from DVLA at a reasonable price, with no hassle.

Did try to buy S 10 BAN, for Sioban and they didn't realise what it was spelling. When I explained, big mistake, they said it had to go to auction. Bye Bye that plate.

I tried for years to get my Grandad to make a sound like a frog...he just shook his head.

Finally...one day he asked "Why do you want me to make a sound like a frog?"

I said "Because....my Dad says when you croak...were all going to Florida!"

The old ones are....well just old...
