I ended up with my initials on the Glee as the list of numbers the dealer had at that point happened to include them.

And it wasfree!!!!

My Mum (Mrs Thomas) rode a Honda moped Reg plate
MAD 1T

I was not happy when she sold the moped as I would have bought it just for the plate.

I don't otherwise recall personalised plates for bikes. Are they allowed?

I have a photo of that very reg taken on the M25. It was on a black merc, a CLS I think.

OK, so I'm toying with the idea of purchasing a private registration

If your initials are AH then I have one for sale

Well, I decided to splash out and buy a plate. ML** BRY; ML as it's going on an ML, two digits and BRY as that's me name, like. Not a lot of dosh to be honest at £435 all in. It will also have the bonus of making my new car look old... (and it's £435 the wife can't spend on more handbags).

I'm such a tart really

£435!!

Now I understand. Mine was $75.

Well the one I wanted is still available but not used. I suppose the fellow registered it so he cold sell it to someone like me. No chance.

looked at another a couple of days ago and it will cost me £492 all in + £235 as it is to be re-registered from Northern Ireland

Told him to go eff himself :violence-uzi:

Funny thing is the first one was available from DVLA just a few months ago. I think once you do a search, it is logged into a database and the bloody site owner immediately registers it as someone has shown an interest.

I'd rather keep the current registration as it was private to the person I bought the car from so it will be of interest to someone at some stage

I refuse to pay for anything over £500 as it is just showing off really.

The "clever" ones or those that attempt to spell someone's name are always lost on me and I have to ask my wife what they actually say. Spending hundreds of pounds on one is clearly good value for money then....

loggamatt · « **Reply #33 on:** July 21, 2013, 15:35:13 »

I would say you have more money than sense... but then, there's a thread around here somewhere where I spent hundreds of £s on essentially a coat hanger... so, Hello, when you have money, who needs sense right?

stibbs · « **Reply #34 on:** July 21, 2013, 16:01:38 »

Give the bloke a break....
Who are we to debate spending hundreds of pounds on what others think is rubbish?
How many on here spend a fortune on a bike specific Sat Nav when a car one works perfectly well with the correct fixings and can be used in the car too

? You could have saved yourselves less than he's spent on his plate

Live and let live.............

I DO have more money than sense, and I'm VERY sensible

I looked at D10 FAN many times over what must have been a couple of years but couldn't ever justify the £500 to buy it.

I was surprised it was still available for a long time after he was diagnosed with stomach cancer in 2009

No surprise it had gone within a couple of hours of his demise.

RIP RJD

Linky for the youngsters who might not know who he was.

A good plate that for lovers of the little rocka

I saw him a few times with Black Sabbath and then with his own band Dio, cracking singer with great stage presence.

It's just a money making scheme around here. It doesn't cost near that much to get it 'processed'. There are people who speculate with private plates here, like you would with domain names
