Club Arnage

Saw this in Emsworth.

The driver was a very sexy and sufficiently endowed young lady.

A guy in the town i work in had a yellow Renault 5 GT Turbo with B16 NOB on it  ;D

I followed a very new and shiny Merc with no badges but 4 big exhausts off the M27 the other day......... Plate RO51 LEE. I imagine that it will be at The Great Dorset Steam Fair.... behind the nasty old crones fortune telling caravan. Still cool though.

I wonder who owns ANU5, C11NTS has been sold, PEN15 was owned by a bike racer in the 80's, P16 PEN and P19 PEN are sold, there is a horrid fat ginger bird in Pompey with G1NGA on her ford KA, Paul Dainels owns MAG1C... Max Bygraves turned down fortunes from Merc for MB1... an old brickie that I know scrapped a BSA Bantam with 1UP, my dad could have had MK2 for £50 back in the 60's but didnt...
I would go on but I dont want to bore people..... and finally... at the auctions in Southampton I watched a polo coupe go for £200 with A968 POR and didnt bid cos I was scared ??? was only 19 and had the cash on me. A few years later, on the ferry back from LM, there was a 968 Club Sport in the times car ads with that number... "available by negotation". TWAT >:(

Is LEF71E still out there?

That reminds me... Scrap Dealer Red Bentley Turbo in Bournemouth pulled over by the police.......plate B16 WAD.
and a pic I saw somewhere of husbands and wifes cars in a driveway.... SUC1N next to  A9"NOB.

Anymore for anymore

oh... and a Datsun 160Jsss coupe that was local... SAF1R... sure Safir made GT40 replicas back along?

My Turquoise Austin 1100 had HOT 769L and a Honda Acty Van we had had RFX 50X, would have saved my parents alot of ££ if they had put that on retention and added a bit of tape... but I have REX21K on the VW which is cool as it was for my 21st.

Looked at a micra for my ex years back... the girl selling was hot as hot hot hot.. and the reg had VAJ in it. strange I remember that ;D

Seen a few MUF... but only on 70's stuff.

and finally... looked after by a garage in ashley and used on classic runs round europe and the like............. XK150... with WOG1
Very PC ;D

FAL 1C, once owned by John Entwistle.
FU2, Fiona Richmond, I believe.

FU2 was Fiona Richmond's car, a Black Roller convertable. Not sure on model.

At the LMS at Silverstone last August there was a new Audi R8 with the reg......JU57 TRY.....nice one!!!!!

And one of my customers was a scrap dealer and his reg is ION.He said it was for iron,he has since retired and now says it stand for "I owe nothing"

Saw a Bentley (Arnage I think) last year with P4Y UP on it, must have been a debt collector.

6URU on a land rover looked good, first reg I remember is L GR1P, saw that in '73 on my way to school, sawe it again a few years back.

Also at LMS Silverstone was a yellow corvette with BL03 JOB.

Next door neighbour (ex dentist) has JAW 5 on a Bentley Turbo.

I remember that, he was parked next to us .....

when I was a kid at school, one of my pal's dad had VIP1 - we heard a few years later it had been sold for £100k!!! I think that Jimmy Saville owned RAD101 and I've seen a Porker with TUR130 on the M25.

I remember back in the early 80's at Le Mans the Rothman Porsche team were using a Porsche 928S as their runaround car (or it may have been Bells car I'm not sure) which had the registration THE 928S.

For those who know (or should that now be remember) Gales Ales from Horndean there should be a number plate somewhere which reads HSB 5X. SB was the registration for one of the Scottish regions and there are other HSB plates around.

Im sure that corvette was parked behind my tent last year in LM. Just parked the van next to a golf with VW 08 NEW on it.

A Brit expat' over here has RO5 BIF

My mate Palmer's scoot.

My accountant has P45 BAD

I saw DEK 1T on a Capri in the late seventies in Lancashire, always impressed me.  ::)

Saw TUR 80 on a 911 turbo back in the 80s , TUR 130 just isn't the same.

BAR81E sold on Ebay last month for about a grand, bargain for someone.

In the 80's I frequently saw '911 SC' on a 911 SC and 'All 928s' on a 928s running around Bucks

I liked AC 427.  I met the owner, he'd sold the Cobra and put it on a Clio Williams.  That must be a hanging offence.

I can understand that you might have to get rid of the Cobra, but why keep the plate

My Dad's old rep used to have a Nissan Sylvia I think and was often pulled over by the Police.  Not sure why but his no was 999 ALT.   (True story - He bought it to take the proverbial)

This threads got me hooked on number plate spotting now  ::)

Passed a Fiesta on the way home with AF04ORD on it.

The fact that we do not have letters only numbers in Guernsey has lead to quite a few interesting numbers including 911 on an old original 911 also beemers with 318 , 325, pugs with 206 etc the Bailiff gets to use a car with 1 on it and the Governor uses cars with G1 and G2 (only time we have letters) his official chauffeur driven car does not have any number.

Oh and as the advert (HSBC I think) a chinese chap does have No 8 he also has 88, 888 and 8888. 

>Martini..

BL03 JOB lived a few doors down from me 'till  a year ago - indeed a LM regular!
I saw V121 DAY on a Mondeo recently and W00 5H on a Ferrari was a regular sight some time back.

I remember being stuck in traffic behind 67" NOB on the north circular many years ago!! slightly awkward few minutes as I was taking my mum to visit my aunt.

D.A.

Spotted on a Zafira VXR doing the school run:

BO55 MUM   ;D

Another interesting one.

Ronnie Wood has a white and black  mini cooper with the registration of " THE 60 S"

Years ago I saw an MG B with GO K1D.

t.

Saw a 3 litre espace with TRY 1T

So I tried it, liked it, waited in a layby for him to come past, and then tried it again.

And there was the Mark 7 Jag

 MK
V11

Here in Germany you have to stick with the first part to your hometown or better to say County

I live in the county of Limburg/Weilburg which is indicated by LM
So possible Le Mans related plates are easy to get as you have one or two random letters and 1 to 3 digits

LM-GT 1 (Corvette Z06)
LM-GT 2 (Ferrari F430 Scuderia)
LM-HA 24 (Houx Annexe - Carthago Megaliner camping car)

Just have to win the lottery and luckily I've seen none of the GT plates yet - most of the people take their initials and year of birth...

there was a red 911 going around in wokingham until about 4 years ago with B19 NOB as the plate...

There's also a Mercedes that goes round with the plate CRE8IT

In my younger days (many moons ago) working in the filling station at Stresham Services on the M5, my favourites were:

4 KEW (say it quickly)

4 KOF

911 EGO (on a 911 of course)

THE 928S (on a 928S4)

Does UBL 956 on the Zodiac qualify?
OK, it's a stretch, but it does have Le Mans connotations..   ;D

Saw an Enzo outside my office with the reg ENZO or 3N20 not sure which and "ABOVE" on a Porshe
I've got a photo of Max Bygraves standing nest to his Frogeye Sprite with number "MB1"

How about this one.....................

I known mine is very good working order but!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once saw a very shall we say "inviting lady" driving an Audi with the plate YE 51 FKU, and yes she did look like a hooker!!

A guy i work with has just bought a passat with the reg L33 DFH on it.

I like to think the previous owners name was drinking for holland  :P

I saw H115NOG on the M4 yesterday which was spaced and shaped to read HI I SNOG.

Didn't fancy him much meself though...  :o

131 PP on an MGB, LM 04 sticker in back window. Pic to follow! ;D

Saw a 911 with ADD105S so I waved goodbye as here sped away

Followed a Renault van home today with TR07TER - wonder if they are market traders or horse breeders?

Cadbury Ltd used to (?still do) have  CDM1 on a Granada which was issued as replacement company car on a monthly basis to the best performing salesman.

ahhh, men, fast cars and wishful thinking..... >:D

Someone.... or DVLA, has P16 PEN and P19 PEN.
C11NTS is also unavailable for some reason..... and someone must have ANU5.
There is also an XK150 locally with WOG 1... I think it was posted on CA after the classic ;D

Many moons ago I saw HOP 1 N on a rather nice convertable driven by a very attractive young lady.

From memory (so that's a little dodgy)

In Southampton the was a mini OSH 1 T , Roger Clark had 1 GO, Paul Daniels has MAG 1 C and Jimmy Tarbrush has COM 1 C and there was another mini about with RAP1D, I'm sure there are lots off very crap plates around all the drivings schools nab PA55 so it looks like PASS we have a school near us that is APASS you can guess what that look s like?

As it says on the tin.

Nick Masons Ferrari 250GTO with the reg 250GTO.

My Dad is always gutted about missing MK2 for £50 in the 60's... but he didnt have the wedge at the time.
The brickie I worked for was also gutted that he dumped a BSA motorbike with 1 UP on the front mudguard!

PP

Plumbers merchants vehicle with the reg LOO 5ALE.

I'll post the pic of the new Team Impala LMPX car later on, it looked like it was prototype nr 37.
