I got one to hide the age of the car plus it's now personalised to me.
I don't care what people think about it, if I did I'd be hiding in a boring golf trying to blend in with all the other sheep. :D

I'm a big fan of personalised plates on Zeds..

They (zeds) appear to age very well and like a nice girl who uses certain touches to disguise her age the pp render a timelesss quality to them!

I like them but have never bought one myself.

Mine came with P9 YEP from the previous seller. He reckoned he paid over a grand for it.

In two minds whether to keep it or not when I sell my car to put on my new one. Most really good plates are expensive.

I dont think i'd ever buy one myself - pretty sure there will always be something better to spend £300+ on, even if its just fuel!

though if i buy a car that happens to have one on already, then so be it. bought a porsche boxster recently and the plate is Pxxx BXR so seems appropriate enough.

I saw a 7 series on the A1 recently with the reg "P1ORN". I would love to know what he/she does for a living. :D

Wish i had got N44LLY at the same time, i found it and offered £1000, they said no £7000 :roll:
Makes me think my plate is worth more than the car :tumbleweed:

I've got a couple, they were cheap direct from the DVLA and bear a passing resemblance to my surname, just a bit of fun
