Or ginger.
First I saw ginger, then I saw the N word.
You couldn’t pay me to drive around with that plate.
How about not having a sig at all?

nope - i see the N word long before id even consider the word danger. it’s just nothing like danger. i expect it’ll remain unsold.

If you could ignore the numerals it would look like DNGER which could be Danger. Though you’d probably be better with a number with a 4 in it:
DN04GER
DN54GER
DN14GER
DN64GER
DN24GER
DN74GER
OK, maybe not 😂

I could buy the postcode for my old house (and village) - exactly, since the second digit was a zero and the space is in the right place. But I didn’t because I didn’t want to put my postcode on my car.

Now I don’t live there I’m tempted to buy it and then offer it to my old neighbours for a lot more 😄

That's what I was referring to with the ''change" ;) Think I've been watching too many 'Al Jokes' shorts on YT.

Maybe this needs its own thread, but I came up behind this yesterday, and from 50m away I was like “something looks really wrong with this shizzle” :?

How TF can you be happy with how this looks? :roll:

There are no screws so that’s very lazily fitted.

I noticed recently that the rear plate on my Audi isn’t quite level. It was fitted new by the main dealer I bought it from and is screwed on so I can’t adjust it. It’s nowhere near as bad as that Volvo so I just ignore it mostly.

If it has the coloured plastic buttons over the screws you can slot the holes in the plate slightly to make it sit level and the cover will still hide the screw.

You’d think dealers would have a jig for plate drilling but many still seem to get it wrong.

probably just come unstuck on one side. theres no way anyone would go to the trouble of paying money for a crap plate then stick it on like that.

I’m sure they just do it by eye every time 😄

Realise my post reads as if not using screws is lazy; that’s not what I meant. I don’t like screws.
