I think you get to a point in life where you go with what you like and aren’t overly concerned with what other people think.

I like them.
Mine is 04-ZED4.

In the state I live in they don’t require a plate on the front of the car...much nicer IMO.

On my older Ducatis I had 72-DUC (I once had a car full of teenagers pull up behind me in a pull off and asked me “Sir is that a 1972 Ducati?” Must have been a bet...?) on my 1980 900 Supersport I had BEVEL, older Ducatis had a series of bevel gears actuating the overhead valves vs belts. They no longer wear those plates as I now have antique plates on them. Advantage is that you buy the antique plate once and you pay once, no yearly fee as with normal plates.

Some of them are very good. I remember seeing a Land Rover type vehicle with dog / hunting (BASC) stickers on it, and the number plate was AND 51T. If you're old enough to remember, it was the catchphrase of 70s / 80s TV personality Barbara Woodhouse who used to terrify dogs into good behaviour.

There was a Chanel van I used to see around the West End of London in the '80s with "No 5"
And an '80s Aston Martin with "V8".
British Oxygen had a lorry with "BOC 1" that was cool. :thumbsup:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Jimmy Tarbuck's Silver Shadow had COM1C. (For some reason). :lol:

Steve "Boring" Davis had SD 147 on his Porsche 928. 147 being the maximum break, which he achieved a few times.

I really don't have a problem with them, especially if they have a special meaning to the owner.
