PO11UTION

[Earl Aelfheah]

Saw a big sporty looking Mercedes driving down Lordship Lane yesterday with a personalised number plate of 'POLLUTION'.

[Loz]

Isn't that too many letters/numbers?

[skipper]

God, that's cool

A fair few years ago I saw a Ford Escort Cabriolet with it's roof down. It's occupant was a tanned, long blonde haired lady wearing a low cut top (this is not a sexist comment but she was very very big busted) and a short skirt showing most of her legs. Her reg: 505 EXY

I was genuinely taken aback that anyone would wish to have such an obnoxious number plate (you may expect it of Jeremy Clarkson I guess).

Many years ago I saw this one. Not on this car though. Not sure what would possess someone to buy it.

Someone like their no: plate, probably, Henryb.

Definitely the best I have ever seen belongs to an elderly retired gentleman from where I was living until recently. He would be the first to admit his personality is like that of the T.V. character, Victor Meldrew. His reg no:

AR51 OAP. Priceless!!!

[El Pibe]

ah, good old pen15

For a while it used to be sported on a car in the town i grew up in, though i suspect it probably moves about quite a bit.

In fact I strongly suspect there's more than one around!

Looks like henry's photo is from Malaysia.

Isn't there an online database you can search for registrations?

I used to know the chap who drove this http://drivesome.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/funny-number-plates-u-tosser.png .

He figured people seeing him were thinking it so he might as well say it.

Speaking of him, this amused me particularly as the BEEB denied it was deliberate. Really?

Someone did a DVLA check in the Guardian comments section and discovered that the plate does indeed belong to a Porche. That's not to say Top Gear didn't do it on purpose, but it does seem legit.

The Beeb sourced 3 cars for Argentina and since anyone under the age of 40 probably would not have a clue when the Falklands was, chances are it was pure coincidence- lol

Lots of options out there -- http://i.imgur.com/WxLZKR3.jpg

I saw EGO V12 on an Aston Martin today

I knew a guy who had TOO 5LOW on a gold Lambo Contache & a "My other car's a Porsche" sticker in it ( he also had a red 928 )

He was a tool, a funny one tho

[JohnL]

Too much of a coincidence - someone did it

And Clarkson was driving it - never have guessed
