My Pinins number plate.
It was on it when I bought it, the seller wasn't interested in keeping it.
I've seriously had people think it does have a V8 under the bonnet, as if!
Makes me chuckle and will probably keep the plate if I sell.
Don't you love mates, apparently RBP stands for either Right Big Plonker or Right Big Penis!

Some nice car based numbers about on here. I had a good find a few years back. A few months before we got married I stumbled across SU51 PCY. Our surname is Pearcy and my Wife’s name is Susie. Doesn’t mean much to anybody else but I thought it was worth a punt. My son has S3 PCY and I have S10 PCY.

This license plate came with the car when I bought it. The previous owner - a gentleman in his late 70s - had bought it himself with the car over 9years ago. I can only assume he wasn’t really into personalised plate and had no idea of the value.

Might I have seen your car at AV yesterday? Or was it FER550M?

Never easy to get a decent plate in the Republic of Ireland, think I've probably lost this now if I ever go back. Plus Waterford is now W and not WD....

I bought this in the DVLA auction on Tuesday.
Think I got it for an absolute steal.
For those who don’t know me. My nickname is Bucko.

I was squinting at the plate trying to make it say something before I read your message. All now clear! And, frankly, a relief from 'ball-cock', which is the best I could come up with.

I've never bought a plate from the DVLA auction before but might have a go when the next one comes around. I fancy a 'dateless' one, not too fussed about the actual letter / number combo but going for one with U, X, Y or Z in it can work out a bit cheaper as very few people have these as their initials.

Yours etc,
