PENI5

Knownowt, 11 July, 2008 at 12:39 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 27

There's an advertisement in my Sunday paper for a personalised number plate that reads "PENI5".

Other plates available include W1DOW and GRA5S.

Who would want such a thing? Presumably they are quite expensive. I don't really get personalised plates anyway but can just about see why someone might want "KN 1" or whatever, but "PENI5"? ?

    I once saw a car with the reg plate A12 NOB, and they'd put two bits of black tape to represent the inch symbol next to the 12 ?

    I don't get them either. Strictly for cnuts, imo. Even the 50PH1E kind.

    I didn't get it either. I hate personalised plates. It's an awful lot of hassle as well - why would you bother?

    If I saw that my first thought would be "Yes, you are" ?

    There's one around here that is P15 TOF - amusingly driven by a mild looking middle aged woman.

    I'm sure that Mr Peter Enis would be very interested ?

    Today on the school run (oh my exiting life!) I saw I ABU which I swear that another Hitcher had posted about a few weeks back. Spooky.

    One of my neighbours has HOT 5SX

    It is attached to a Matiz and the owner is in his 80s. I've always pondered whether his kids bought him the plate as a joke?

    When I still lived with my folks I often used to see a reg plate that was A1 NAL. Why on earth would you want a plate that almost says anal?

    My sister's H just bought one and my sister has to have it on her car as his is too old ? It's something like MC54 XXX which is meant to look like their surname, which is MCLA XXX. Except IMO 54 looks nothing like LA so who knows what he was thinking.

    I saw one a while back on a big convertible Mercedes that said R1CH B. Methinks W4N KER would have been more appropriate .

    There is a bloke who used to live down my street who would probably want PEN15. Bearing in mind he had a big sign in the back of his window that said

    "Warning, Driver has HUGE Testicles"

    I had the urge to throw bricks through it regualrly.

    We were behind a 50-something in his Porsche complete with breakfast-bar spoiler on the back that you could sit on it was so enormous, go-faster stripes, the works.

    The plate read

    BAN9 IT

    We laughed so much we were crying

    I doubt he's getting much.

    I think they're alright *shrugs* (actually, I used to think they were the height of nobberdom, then I married a man with one, so I had to challenge my perceptions of the kind of people that have them ?)

    I hate to be a killjoy, but surely PEN 15 is just an advert to get people looking at the site? Don't the DLVA actually withhold all the norty ones?

    I saw P1 LOT near Heathrow a few times, on a Porsche. I ❤️ I ABU !!

    I saw DEA11S today, with tape or something joining the twos '1's to make an 'N'. I couldn't decide which aspect pissed me off more - the mere fact of the personalisation; the tape making it unlawful or the missing apostrophe. Yuk. In fact, is there someone I can report it to? Sooooo tempted.

    Well quite, If they are going to use tape the least they could do is add the apostrophe!
