This one would be awesome.
Edit: Why won't it show up?!

I know someone with this plate

His surname is Diaper but it always amuses me.

My friend recently bought a Jetta and he got new license plates for it, not personalized, and his license plate says 43-J374 Which is basically Jetta in 1337. Awesome.
 
This is an actual DVLA plate, formerly owned by a UK motorcycle racer, who's name I don't remember/never knew.

Wasn't a motorcycle racer. He raced the front-bit (technical term) of big lorries. Lives/d in the next village along to me. I've been seeing the pen15 numberplate for years. Suits him down to the ground ('allegedly').
 
I know this is a little off topic, but this post reminds me of a story I heard a few months back, while in the UAE, where the license plate '1' sold for 14.2 Million USD. :eek:

On my car, I have a "Low-Number Reserve Plate" which is very difficult to obtain here in Massachusetts - political connections can secure one, and/or various government jobs - but since 1997, the state RMV holds a lottery so 200 members of the "general public" can vie for one. Low number plates are NOT vanity plates (which must start with two letters), but rather plates that start with numbers or a letter but have less than the six digit norm. My particular plate dates from the 50s, and has been passed down to me from my grandfather. My father has a low digit number as well, highly sough after items here. Both plates are family heirlooms; people find it odd that one could have such an attachment to a set of numbers / letter combinations.

Mine are in "X 9999" series, and "999 X" series - but Reserve Plates can run the gamut from "1" to "99999," mush more impressive than any vanity plate IMO.
 
Wasn't a motorcycle racer...
Actually I am right, it was Steve Parrish; he was a motorcycle rider from '71-'85 before moving to manage a motorcycle team and race trucks (so you're not completely wrong:p) from '86-'02... and still finding time to blow up a brothel in Macau!

He fell foul of the law while he had the plate registered on his motorcycle.

...I've been seeing the pen15 numberplate for years...
For the last 3years it's been used by the marketing manager of regtransfers.co.uk on their Smart car.

Didn't have my camera with me (not a good idea in traffic in any event), but one guy in Ontario has somehow received the plate WANKER.

He better take real good care of it, because I doubt they will issue him a new one any time soon.

:D
