Why not go for an MR2 plate...

If your after an 02 year you can register "MR02

"

Always thought something obscure is better... the ones you gave are ok if people know who you are, but most won't... and the reg plate doesn't help. Something dead simple like T1 A?K, which is obviously your initials (easy guess), or something even more prominent, like 3000 U, or similar.

see your point but people who dont know who you still wont know what private reg like T1 AJK means and also the people that do know you wont know what the private reg means either.

thought i may aswell have something that some people will recognise.

then again might just stick with my normal number plate and spend the £250 on something else.

I was tempted by X 60MER as C8MER was sold after I spent too long wondering about it.

I'd have to have a screw through the centre of the 6 to make it resemble a C and I won't feel comfortable doing that.

If they're halfway intelligent, they'll spot it's a private plate, quickly realise that you're not making any words out of the other couple of letters, and guess the initials are yours. Job done.

I did see "MR 21" available the other week... was some silly price like £50000 or something... but you got to admit... would look the nuts as "MR2 1" on your '2! s:D

I'd go with that idea... but then I'm not much of a fan of private plates!

Not so bad if they say what they're meant to say, but I don't like the ones where you have squash 2 characters to make 1, or pretend that a 3 is an E etc.

Alternatively, there's always the old joke about changing your name by deed poll to match your reg!

Or there's the naff option of choosing a forum name to match your number plate s:wink: :wink: s:wink: xx51 ZUD s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

I'm not really a fan of private plates - don't really see the point but I did p*ss myself when I saw W1FEY on a Fiesta with a woman driving.

LOL, i looked at getting that one! s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Personally I'd either spend the £250 making the car faster, or making the plates disappear altogether every time I went past a Gatso...

My favoured one was MR02 SMT

I cant really get one for my name as i dont have a middle name - unless i get "N1 KRS" or something like that.

I will have to wait until the year 2015 and then get "KR15 CLK" s:D

That link only gave all the latest "stupid" type numbers. There are 467 prefix-style numbers also.
Happy hunting ( most dealers quote a price, but are not the original dealer. They will buy from another dealer and put their mark-up on it. The trick when buying from these firms is to try and find who the first dealer is and screw them for the best deal - no sale, no commission!)

Invent a middle name. Far more interesting.

If you check out the dealer adverts in AutoTrader I think you will find two letter reg nos tend to be old ones and VERY expensive.

Some can be an investment, bought mine a few years ago (61ANS) really cringing when i paid for it, but now it's worth 4 times as much,not that i'd ever sell it. s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

I love my plate and despite only having the surname because of marriage I will not change it even though I lack the husband part of the equation. I thought of changing it, but thought sod it because of the transfer fee. I wanted L125CAR, which would of have a fixing screw between the 2 and the 5 with a slight scratch coming down from it which looked just like an apostrophie (?) but it has never been issued by DVLA...boo ...I begged but they would not relent! I suppose some people think that these plates are sad but I do like the fact that mine spells LIZ if you squint at it! Get the plate, I know that the only people who know what year my car might be are those with '2's, and as I have not seen another for the past month or so I am not that worried!

Anycase I have to look my best and like a posh bird with a nice car with the personalised index ( I know I am deluding myself!) so I keep smiling at men in Mercedes at the traffic lights hoping to pull..nothing yet though!

By the way Kris your index spells KNOB, thats priceless in itself!! Great plate.
