2 grand what a joke, i think legally it's supposed to be CDZ 290, so hardly sought after, i just saw E17MMA which i though was reasonable for Ł500, but unfortunately i don't know anyoe caled Emma. But just as a comparison to the sh1t ones we've already posted i think it's more realistic.

I have been offered a grand for my D16 VRS plate several times and turned it down.

Should have bought E16 VRS at the same time but didnt have the funds - some guy from Scotland has that now and is on this site.

My bro was offered B4 DRS way back in the day - and me like a dick told him to sod spending money on a number plate when you can spend that money in the engine for more power.

Felt soo sick seeing that plate for sale for almost 10 times what we offered it for.

What gets me is people who have personal plates that are supposed to resemble something, then because they know full well that it is a load of unreadable bollocks, they write what it is supposed to say in a slogan underneath

We had a twat in work who got a Ł30 ticket for making a 3 look like a backwards E, he decided not to pay and thought he was the bollocks so defended himself in court, the result ?

Ł580 fine, what a prick

COZZ GO

CDZ 2 GO

COZZ 90

ITS A DATELESS PLATE WITH COS CHARACTERISTICS.

95% of private plates look shit IMHO, very few even get close to what they are meant to say.

I'm not a fan of private plates tbh, unless they're funny, like this



Annoying, as my cars normal plate is only 6 letters, so all mongs go 'ooo what's that supposed to say, it yer initials or something'. Even more mongy when people I know ask me, it ends in DGE and they know my name is Sam... Idiots.


Quick Reply: Private plate twats(again), WTF is this supposed to be??
