Has anybody had trouble with the law regarding number plate messages?. I got pulled the other night for it and they did'nt even notice the dodgy font?
And what cheeky messages have you got on yours?

Nice legal number plates thank you. No italics here nor any disrespectful comments.

I saw one yesterday that said "more boost than cadbury's" on front and something like "fat blokes are harder to kidnap" on the back

Messages on numberplates are so, so sad.

+1. This should be left to the corsa/saxo brigade that everyone's so quick to flame. Not on a BMW that's
supposed to be a classy motor.

To be fair, messages are fine as long as you have the go to match the show...
If your car says you go sideways, do it...
If your car says you have more boost than Cadbury's, try not to let your car melt...

I saw you parked up at Santa Pod, and also saw a group of people pointing and laughing at your number plates. As in laughing at you, not with you.
How many Alpina scripts, badges etc do you have littering your car? They're stuck to the dashboard, parcel shelf and all sorts of other random places if I remember correctly?

A friend of mine gave me a job lot of different Alpina decals and I got in a Alpina FRENZY, came to my senses and taken most of them off!!
Seems the number plate messages are a bit Marmite

Just slightly off topic. Dobbie I've had the rear window dealership sticker replaced and it looks spiffing.
Just as it came from the dealer 20 years ago.

I bought an Orion Ghia off some south coast chav, and it had motorsport vinals down the sides and on the plates it had "LAD". Oh the shame. I did tape over it for a time, but that feel off, along with several other key components of the car.

Theo, the first day i had it your brother managed to accidentally scratch "shit" on the boot for me. He was right to do so. Did you ever see my custard yellow metro?

My brother bought an E36 325i from a post-op transexual bloke. It had "Track Day Queen" on the plates. He'll get stick for ever for that to be honest.

I remember that Orion, my brothers personalisation of the paintwork was most apt.
Didn't see the metro though, another chapter in your dubious car history

The metro was class but utterly shite at the same time. It was a 1275 GTA with Turdo alloys and bodykit all painted retard yellow. But it was blinding quick round corners. Sold it for £50 to a fat twunt who used it for hot boxing.

Sounds like a good laugh, there is definietly something very pleasing about worthless cars. My mate had a 993cc nova which we got to the dizzy heights of 115mph (indicated, probably more like 70) on a steep section of downhill dual carriageway, you could apply a large amount of steering lock and it wouldn't change direction at all. One of the scariest car's i've ever been in, but also probably the slowest.

I had a 1986 Nissan Micra for a bit before I got the touring. Every now and then the steering lock would come on while I was driving it, and would only come off if i steered sharply to the left. Not fun doing 60mph done skinny country lanes I can tell you!

Bloody hell! Must have led to a few unplanned changes of underwear. I fecked the steering coulping bush on my car the otherday after a trackday, could only really turn right due to the way it had disintergrated. Was a long route home.

I used to have 'I'm speeding 'cos I'm touching cloth'.
As an aside - haven't these bastard coppers got ANYTHING better to do?? As far as I'm concerned. 'The Bill' is a rough approximation of what the law should be about but seems totally divorced from reality.
