I've got to get this!

[4SRKT]

I'm getting a new car in the new year, and this numberplate is available for just £16.98! Should I get it?

Hellfire !!!!

Is it road legal, or is it just a showplate?

If it's road legal, it's good fun!

I don't know. I'm not really going to get it, it's just a joke. I'd have to pay to get the car re-registered anyway, assuming the number hasn't already been issued.

Would be great though to get it and hang it on the front of a 37 or something on a tour or diesel gala! That's if I ever manage to book on another tour that doesn't get caped, loco fails or whatever

To bore you a little, that would only be allowed on any car first registered in the first period of 2010 or newer, as you cannot use a registration mark to misrepresent the age of a vehicle. Also, that price doesn't include the mandatory fees that DVLA charge for switching registration marks, which when I purchased on in about 2003 made the cheapest plates £250. And lastly, it is illegal to misrepresent a registration mark by having it made up as MY 10RDZ which is improper spacing, or by adding the black screw head at the bottom of the 1 to make it appear 1.0RDZ. This carries a penalty of upto £1000 and removal of your right to the registration mark. Bearing in mind how many people do those last two things with personalised plates, as well as changing the typeface, I'm amazed Police are accused of targeting motorists for money. If they had some tip-off reward line for this I could put £6000 their way easily, and for the record, my plate of K17 VTR was never misrepresented in anyway as I was too scared of these rules (hence why I remember them)

Yes, IMO people who think it's clever to use illegal spacing, screws or fonts, deserve to lose £1000! It's a numberplate for god's sake, it's not supposed to spell your name.

The spelling is incorrect, a Z is for under 12s.

Firstly, the whole thread is a joke, so don't take it too seriously, and you appear to have ignored what I wrote in post #4 despite having quoted it. Secondly, I didn't change the spacing if you look closer.

Perhaps, but using an S is less obviously related to bashing. People might think I was in the House of Lords rather than an EE fan!

I think most bashers use the letter S apart from, as I said, the under 12s and youtube veg who think flailing seminars in front of plastic units is 'kewl'.

Sorry, wasn't aware that I was not allowed to pass on general information within this forum. I'm well aware that the thread was a joke, but I was making some observational comments. I'll try not to do so in the future.

No, you're alright. It did read as though you were taking it too seriously though.
