Default Private Number Plate - What would you choose?

If you could choose a private plate with up to 8 digits i.e, COSWORTH etc what would you choose? no obscene combinations allowed.

I know private plates are not to everyone's taste, I'm at two minds too!

Bear in mind I'm in Hong Kong and have one of a handful of Escort Cosworth's here! Maybe COSWORTH or FORD RS???

"Cossy" looks good, that will be nice and short too....... "COSWORTH" may look pretty long for a plate!

Thanks for the suggestions..... in theory I could get any of those for about 500quid!

We need to submit them, wait for allocation, then auction!

You will never get 10" on the front sitting like that, unless you move the struts inwards!!

If I were to get one I'd want it as short as possible as they always look better I think, like your initials and a number. In my case MCM 1 or something similar. Unfortunately they're by far the most expensive.

There's a fella round here with a Mondeo and he's had full sized number plate stickers made up and stuck on his bumpers so people know what his real plate is meant to read.
I'll pop out in a bit and see if I can get a pic so you can see what I mean.
