    Never been bothered with private plates, I give the DVLA enough money every year (over £1k in road tax), not giving them any more. The money the make out of transfers, retention etc is unbelievable.

    Also don't want my plate to be something memorable if I'm being naughty... :)

    To me, it's just a bit of plastic on the car that I couldn't care less about. Doesn't improve the driving experience to me. Would rather spend the money on the cars themselves.

    I quite like driving a Ferrari with the proper old-school prefix numberplate, bit of inverse snobbery I suppose


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    I can remember in the 1960s when my mother saw a classified ad in The Times for her initials - 'PMG 1'. My mother would have paid £25 for it, but the seller wanted £50, so she didn't get it. She did realise when she bought what turned out to be her last car that the value of the number plate would have bought her new car outright!

    Lol ... I've had the same discussion with my parents over numbers that they've had and wished they kept on their cars ... If only we'd known at the time what they'd be worth now.
