I sometimes see reg numbers that spell out funny words. I wonder if you could buy the reg number you want, rather than take the one you are given, and other people might see the joke, but I doubt it.

On my way down to england, near Abbingdon, I spotted one such number on a van.

HE54 GAY

It would look great on a black Audi TT.

He he he,
Saw 13 OND on a XJS that became BOND. The best ever plate/car combination I have seen was MR B1G on a Fiat 500 parked outside the casino in Monte Carlo.

Saw a bloke in a car last year on the way to Tayport by Dundee and they were driving an Audi A4 with something like S345 FUD. It was the last three letters that had us laughing loads. It's a derogatory Scottish descriptive where I come from.

When we were discussing what number plates that might be available, HE54 FUD was suggested.

Abington, where the M74 and the A702 meet up.

Cant think as to why he would want that number, not even his own initials
