It says MELMO to you and it’s from your mother :thumbsup:
I wanted a K3 *** reg many years ago but only K33 ***was available ( pre internet days) I wish I’d bought it now.

Just bought myself a private plate direct from the DVLA. Went for DR (my initials) Z4 99. Am I ok to run it with those spacings? DR Z4 99?

Depends on how @rsey the police car behind you is :headbang:

I got pulled for displaying KM02 AMD as KM 02 AMD. All totally legal font etc and the space between the M and 0 wasn’t as big as the type on here had put it, whereas others have clearly manipulated/mis-spaced ones and never get any hassle. When I originally posted about this someone replied saying in a certain area they were issuing fixed penalties by post for mis-spacing but I’ve not experienced that personally. I had a producer and had to get my new plates stamped by an MOT centre

    G29 M40i Thundernight with Ivory interior, all option packs (here for a while, hopefully :oops:)

    It is illegal with the spacings. I have mine as S7 00 AKH. Not had a problem so far, but I ordered a set of legally spaced ones at the same time and keep them in the boot. If I get pulled I can show Mr plod that I have the legal ones to put on.

    Heard talk of them clamping down more lately as they rely on ANPR which struggles to read mis-spaced plates.

    But then I live in the fens; we have our own laws up here (ie none apparently). Bigamy up here is just called marriage. It's also illegal to marry someone not directly related :lol:
    All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

    F31 320i. Good car.
    E89 20i Now fully dried
    Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!

    Total genius, mate (as are so many of the other brilliant replies on here, btw).

    And I've gotta say - I love the fact that your nickname and plate are "tug". That's either genius, or bonkers - either way, hats off to you!!!

    PS: Did you go to the meet recently at Ockham Bites / The Black Swan? You'd have been very popular after dusk, whether you liked it or not :thumbsup:
