| I've got a private plate on my car. As well as being a private plate it's a private joke based on my wife's nickname...her real name is Sadie but she's known to her friends as Maj... Hence MAJ in the number plate. That was £250 from the DVLA but is worth nothing to anyone else.
I've got a private plate on my bike as well that I bought after I followed a car with the letters DUC....then I realised after following it for a bit that it wasn't DUC but OUC, with the new DVLA standard font the 'O' is squared off and looks enough like a D at a glance without misrepresenting it.
So, in the days before my son's uni fees hit me I logged on to the DVLA site and bought V2 OUC for £399. Had the plate made up at the NEC one year and bumped into Monty and David Cook, they had to do a double take before realising that it was OUC not DUC. It also looks more convincing when it's on the bike because it's set in the right context then. Probably not worth anything like £399 that but since I'm not selling it doesn't matter, and after all, it's only a bit of fun.  |
