Dub_nut_g60 0 Posted December 25, 2006 Today i got given a £1,000 cheque together with £500 of premium bonds as a present 'from' my late Grandpa. with that i would like to buy a couple of things that as momentos. I have always thought about a personalised registration so am thinking of using some of the money for one, but cant really decided!! dont want to spend silly money, and would like to keep the 'J' plate, but not essential! My favorites so far are: J700 DUB J900 DUB J60 AVW (not quite G60 but close!!) J90 BRB (quite poignant as Grandpas initals are/were BRB and he was 90 when he died) C3 RDO (possibly slightly out of price range though) J666 GGO (-edit-) Any thoughts or other suggestions???

_Monkey 0 Posted December 25, 2006 A plate is on my list too, allbeit very low down. You can get a plate to read Jxxx GGO that looks like G60 and is a fair bit cheaper :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted December 25, 2006 Im quite a fan of the DUB plates as well as the G60 one. Id do loads of shopping around, youll on when you find the one you are happy with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
double-6s 0 Posted December 25, 2006 I was thinking of L66 POT :) 250 quid! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted December 25, 2006 dont get one car related. even though you think you'll never sel your rado, you msy do, and they are gettig rarer. get one thats personal to you, one that could be sold on should you desire to. Also worth noting that you cant make your car appear new than it is with a private plate. so anything newer than a j prefix for your motor wouldnt be allowed on the car.

Its not something im going to rush into getting, so thought id ask for your guys opinions and suggestions! so if anyone does come accross something that looks decent then let me know!

G60Jet 1 Posted December 26, 2006 Have you tried searching for old serfix plates along the lines of AND 1XX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AB 0 Posted December 26, 2006 think a plate is a good idea but like some of the others i would get one that is personel to you, i have brought one that says my daughters name and she can have it when she drives (16 years yet) but you can carry it with you and it means more.

lukeage 0 Posted December 26, 2006 VRS1CK has to be one of the best - albeit not for G60. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

craigowl 0 Posted December 27, 2006 We have COL1N in town. Just seen N11CCO. Personally, I would not have one - I think they are pretentious crap. But I am an old git and agree 99% with what "Grumpy Old Men" say! :ignore: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gogsboy 0 Posted December 30, 2006 Any thoughts or other suggestions??? Cheers Andy How about one name related to yourself, rather than the car? If so I have L30 AND, which was bought off....you guess it, an Andy ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craigowl 0 Posted December 30, 2006 By all accounts Colin is a decent guy and good business man. I could make an exception to displaying the ROS1E plate if it comes with a mature, cheery, bosomy English barmaid type of gal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
