Private Plates

[shayes]

I was given R6VED by my now wife and if you squint slightly and look at it a bit sideways it looks like revved which for a car nut seems appropriate, soon to go on my recently acquired CLS 500

Funny how some things work out. My BMW850 had the Plate K55 RGT. I then bought the CL55 and realised the plate was made for it being a Kompressor 5.5. I then found K50 RGT for the BMW which as some may know is a 5.0.

So parked side by side I now have K50RGT & K55RGT relating to the correct sized engines and obviously my initials
Nerd or what

25 - My date of Birth
MRN - My initials

Never noticed this thread before, just had fun reading through and noting the remarks and opinions as much as the actual registrations, lol.

Personally I'm not much of a fan of contrived names for example, but metaphorically raise my hat occasionally in appreciation of creativity and humour that doesn't rely on screwheads and modifications. Less is more.

Initials and a significant number? Not for me but why not? Trade/Profession-linked? Same. My wife is a needlework/dressmaking/quilting/etc guru/teacher/designer/consultant and she has "SEW" slotted in to an otherwise unremarkable number/letter combination, also deliberately keeping the correct date letter not to disguise anything.

We have always been massive fans of Queen since the way-back days, and this is on one of mine ... just an ordinary age-appropriate registration on a nice old MB unless you happen to be aware of why it isn't, or notice the artwork in front of you at the lights and then connect the dots ...

I've had a couple of people comment, though what I really like is that it is so invisible that even in the car park at Queen conventions it takes someone to spot that the logo isn't the normal Euro-flag that is assumed on first-glance with all the rest, before they might take a second glance at the actual registration. When that has actually happened a time or two it is very enjoyable watching their expression go from puzzled to a smile of realisation like a mini-sunrise

And lol I did once have a 5-figure offer for it at a convention, and I believe that Brian May has a nice S124 so do you think that maybe ..... ?

You honestly had a five figure offer for this plate? I would've snatched their hand off.
