My Boss has "L9" on his car. He got it as a swap for a bottle of whiskey about 60 years ago, it might be worth a fraction more than that now:becool:

But You'll talk for a long time before you convince me that the main reason for a private plate isn't to show the size of your bank balance.
When they are available from £150, it's nothing to brag about. :biggrin:

Oh, and just to show that there are some nobbers around who feel the need to pose, a local business owner had a private plate with the initials of his business on it. One of my Trafic Cops discovered that he displayed it on two different vehicles, one his business van, and the other a rather nice classic dish roof Merc.

My traffic cop gave him a Vehicle Defect form telling him to get the plate off his Merc and to display the proper reg. With blistering arrogance he told the cop that as everyone knew who he was locally, he would keep the private plate on the classic thank you very much. He even made a complaint to me about how the cop was picking on him, because he had already spoken to him about it several times. He considered this to be harrassment.

I explained that he had been given two or three chances to put it right, and that I thought the cop had been more than fair. He told me I was siding with the cop, and that we were all corrupt morons.

That afternoon one of the cop's colleagues caught him driving the Merc and seized it on suspicion of being stolen. As he was new to the team the "Everyone knows me locally" didn't hold water, and his refusal to cooperate led the the cop to suspect the car was a ringer. After being examined by the stolen vehicle squad it was returned to him, re-registered with a sexy new Q plate.

Yes indeed, they can afford them as well. They charged £70 per hour four years ago plus VAT, during daylight. If you asked them to estimate the cost of a job, they were happy to oblige... it costs £70 per hour plus VAT for the estimate. A perfect illustration of the mind-set of some prat plate owners, perhaps?
