Default After 2 years I finally got it!

Been after this plate for over 2 years, an old boy had it on a van local to me but I could never pin him down.

Finally last week I pulled into the Esso near my house & he pulled in behind me!!!!

It turns out it was on the van when he bought it from Scotland

2 years to get hold of him and within 2 minutes the deal was done.

What do you think? Won't get much closer to my name!

It was funny as I asked him he's name & expected him to say "John Porter" or something & he said " Dave Mee " ...... Meant sod all to him.

I don't get plates that say your name. Do you wear a name badge on your clothes?

No it wasn't to be fair, I liked it as it is obviously my name but would have only paid so much.

I didn't loose any sleep just kept seeing him drive past me or parked in a side road where there's no houses!

I see that J P07TER sold for Ł4800 on a website recently so could be a good investment.
