When they changed the car recently the new one came without the personal plate. When I enquired what happened to it, I was told that it was on hold until the car was a year old, " otherwise how will anybody know I've got a new car?" Duh!

I have a personaised plate on the Jeep. But it's personal to someone else. It has produced it's moments of amusement. Recently some prat in a BMW parked blocking the road that leads from my home to work. It's a narrow lane with passing places and PratBoy had parked bang in the middle of the road. Several nearby houses to choose from and he wasn't obvious so I tooted by car horn and PratBoy arrived full of anger and testosterone shouting that I was in a 4x4 so I could "offroad around his car" (though a hedge?) Anyway he decided to insult me and the car I rode in on and he read the number plate and obviously decided it was my name so he used it a lot. "Well Mr <insert name here> why is you a tooting of de horn when, Mr <name>, I is axing you why you toot de horn, innit?" and so on. He was BTW as white as mozzarella but speaking like Tim Westwood/Ali G. He seemed absolutely convinced that the registration plate was my name. Presumably in chav world the only reason that a number plate can spell out a name is because someone paid money to have it that way, rather than it arriving randomly with the car.

They're built into the price which you as a punter evaluate in deciding whether to buy or lease. |
