Both my cars have personal plates & both of them you'd have to know me well to realise why I chose them. The astute person will notice that the reg year is totally wrong for the cars but besides that they're nothing really special. It's just my way of finishing off the car & a hell of a lot cheaper than any of the modifications that the Alfa has.

Our last car just happened to come with a number plate with my wife's initials, my initials and the year we got engaged! A number of people thought it was a private plate and a couple suggested we keep it and move it to our next car.
I gave the idea some thought, not a lot really. Pay money, for what? To have one number on my car rather than another number? A pointless statement that achieves nothing other than to say to passers by that you have so much money that you can spend some of it on pointless statements.

I was going to buy Mr Plax a personalised number plate for his 40th birthday as he was going on about it for ages and I couldn't think what else to get him. The bugger only went and bought one himself before I could. The he went and bought a new car that was only a couple of months old. Another boring Focus. So then I was the one that got teased at work because he is so boring and predictable enough to get yet another Focus. My dad never helps by saying they are reliable cars with a great chassis. He is being a bit more adventurous this time though as it's a turbo diesel with tinted rear windows (and a different colour blue.......you should have seen the trauma I had to go to to get him to wear a tie and shirt that weren't some kind of blue! It was a revelation when he agreed to wear a red tie). I personally wouldn't get a personalised number plate as I'd feel too silly and identifiable, but I must say his car does look good.
PS saw a plate on a jag "4 TEA" a few weeks back, thought that was quite good.

This has beem a bit of a revelation for me really, honestly didn't expect cyclists to have PN plates, just shows you can't pigeon-hole people. Now if this was Italy.............

Two good 'uns spring to mind. There's a blonde hairdresser near us who has a Audi TT roadster with V11BRO as her plate.
I was once patrolling a village on foot near to the Leeds Festival, and a Range Rover pulled up near to a church where there was obviously a wedding going to take place. A bloke in a sharp suit got out, and an absolutely exquisitely dressed and coifured, stunningly attractive woman got out of the passenger side. My mate said a cheery hello, and I clocked the plate on the Range Rover: AR51 GET.
I said something along the lines of "Great number plate!" at which the angelic vision of loveliness came back with " Aye, and it foockin' suits him an all, the basstard."

Norm said:Talking of pigeons, when do we get on to discussing the best method for transporting shot guns on a bike?
1)Buy a hacksaw, and some Velcro tape from Screwfix,
2) Cut down the barrels and stock to about 12 inches overall.
It should fit in the place of the bottle cage. Shells go in the zip pocket at the back of camouflage cycling vest.
Display lights at all times.
Job done.

Ortlieb Back Roller Classics, you idiot. They keep out rainwater from the outside don't they???? They must be good for a few litres of blood from the inside....
