      LOL, don't tell the SNP or they'll be fighting in the streets to get that one. Maybe that's how they got away with it, it was Nicola Sturgeon's car.
      Couple along my step dad's road are FN--SXY and FN--HSY which usually makes me smile, especially since they live so close and nope, they're not personalised plates though maybe should be, to stick on that pink horse box Clarkson reckons Jordan owns.
      Used to be another not far from the same spot which I always thought was a shame being 1 number out or Tolkien nerds would have paid a fortune for it. It read EA14 ERU but if it'd been 15 then it would have made perfect Tolkien relevant sense, and yeah, aforementioned nerd here though not one who'd buy a personalised number plate. Ever. Glancing at number plates as you pass them to see if they're funny though, passes the time on boring journeys.

    Something I thought was ridiculous is they banned the entire SN07 run, replacing it with TN07, because SNOT is apparently offensive. But they allowed xx69 plates for the second half of 2019. I'm sure you've all seen the BJ69KFC Fiat 500 on social media for example.

      They didn't exactly 'replace' SN07 with TN07, but had to 'invent' these 'T' series marks (including TF TJ TN)
      as Edinburgh was experiencing a shortage of marks due to increased vehicle registrations that period and witholding SN didn't exactly help. These T marks have not been issued again since 07.

    Here in Colombia we can't really personalize our plates. Three letters, three numbers, your town name, go. However, it's got some amusing moments, like a Mercedes C-Class with the Bogotá plate BMW-666. Or the most amusing of all, some Police SUVs with the following plate sequence from a little town called Timaná:
    GAY-001
    GAY-002
    GAY-003
    And so forth. They might be armoured, but they always get a chuckle when their drivers appear in the cities.

      In Germany the first one, two or three letters are the town or municipality your car is registered to, then there's two letters and three or four numbers. Everyone gets to choose the letters and numbers on their numberplate, but of course you're somewhat limited by the first two letters. Doesn't mean that people won't get creative, I think the best one I saw was AU TO 9001, so basically car over 9000.

      Most jokes are for a particular time and culture. I read a review about a Japanese man doing stand up comedy. The Japanese people in the audience laughed uproariously, but his jokes were not the least bit funny to English speakers.
      He made a joke about a man who dropped a piece of tofu. He picked it up, "And he ate the tofu!" All the Japanese people laughed at this, but it's not funny at all to English speakers.

    The most ironic vanity plate I've ever seen is VAN17Y. It belongs to a very modest lady I know from my orchestra, who drives a 10 year old Nissan Note.

      @@am_pm.17 You can reassign a personalised registration, called a "private plate" in the UK, to another car so if you buy a car with a private plate, you can transfer the registration to another vehicle. Doing this, the previous bearer will receive its original registration back or the next available one. You can also retain a private plate in case you don't have a vehicle to transfer it to or are saving it for a later purchase. Doing that, you get a certificate proving your ownership for when you want to use it again.
      In the situation of the 80s -> '10 Nissan Note, the woman in question could have either been transferring the registration between every car she's owned over the years or she retained it over those years.
      As to why the DVLA assigned a private plate imported to the UK from Ireland without some outside influence, I have no idea.

The first issued plate will be number 1, the second is 2, ect. ‒ this means maximum 9 can be issued with the same letters ‒, for example: MAZDA-1. 😊

      At least 1 letter and maximum 8. Also, it only costs €1.000

    In Germany you can’t really personalise your number plate but you can choose what letter/number combinations you want so you can have your initials & date of birth for example. However some combinations are banned, mainly due to associations with the Nazis, e.g. NS (National Socialist) , KZ (concentration camp), SA (Sturmabteilung), SS (Schutzstaffel) etc. Also some communist acronyms like STA-SI (in Starnberg near to Munich) or KG-B (in Bad Kissingen) are also forbidden. The district of Schwedt had the code SED up to 1994 when it was abolished when it was merged with a neighbouring district They reinstated their own code in 2014 but this time they had to change it to SDT…

    In China, there used to be a numberplate style consisting of a white background with a blue tint on the lower portion of plate available from 2002 to 2003. They have since between discontinued with the biggest reason being that these types of numberplates could be customised as NNN-NNN, NNN-LLL and LLL-NNN. Controversial examples include: USA-911, PRC-001, IBM-001, WTO, SEX, the number 250, and the big one USA-911. You were also not allowed to include CHN on your plate either however, you could somehow put PRC on your plate.
    As of now, any plates that were in this style were changed to the standard blue 1992 plates.

    Those nice people in Swansea have a scheme which allows you - for a fee - to transfer a "cherished" number-plate from one car to another. My father transferred this plate through about six cars. When he died, I inherited car and plate - and I've already transferred it once.

    I've seen some interesting ones before. Including DIVORCE (on a taxi), GEE PAD (make way, on a pickup), and ZUPRA (obvious what that one's on). I've also seen a photo of NO WIFE (on an Italian supercar). I'm actually thinking of getting MPOSTOR, MPOSTER or MPOSTR if one of them is available, considering the changes I'm making on my car.
