After 2 years I finally got it!
 
1 Attachment(s)
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 :shocked:

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!

Ordered some new plates that are better spaced

Very apt plate for you that's for sure

Billy_RS 01-06-2016 04:20 PM

:cool:

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.

Haha good times! I'm assuming you managed to get it for a scorching price too?

RB26DETT 01-06-2016 05:17 PM

Very cool.... Don't mispace it though

Smooth :smokin:

Did it cost the earth though?

Paul_RS 01-06-2016 10:24 PM

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.

Only my van..... At least the clients at work will know who I am when I turn up at jobs!

Adam-M 02-06-2016 07:49 AM

Actually pretty close to your name, would drive me mental wanting something for two years I'd of dealt with it sooner lol

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 £4800 :shocked: on a website recently so could be a good investment.

RSmark84 02-06-2016 09:27 PM

I used to go to school with a Dave/David Mee. Did he have a South African accent?

fuzzy 02-06-2016 11:26 PM

I was looking for J4 MES for ages as well until it came up and I realised it was well out of my price range!:cry:

Nice one mate, well done tracking him down, I tried to buy FU2 years back but failed, came up recently at auction for rediculous money, always fancied D999 PIG on my cossie
