ive seen that one before too - I think it was I'm on a transporter?

It was indeed ! A white one. Slightly scene-ified but fairly tasteful.

I think I've seen that as well (probably on the M25).

On a new shape Defender 90 with Collecting Cars livery. What does the plate refer to? Long penis? Can’t be long wheel base

TNK 1 on an original Defender.

Spotted in New York.. not sure what sort of mad man would want to drive that all the way from Florida!

Looks like some extra nipples in the bumper- rv towed maybe?

Towed from the rear bumper ???

They’re for a bike rack or similar.

Thought perhaps for some silly extra bumper or something, not as tow points. America is land of the big bumper after all

I watched the DVLA auction which ran until yesterday. There were some 4-character plates for less than £4k including all fees - which feel like they add a fuck of a lot when buying from the DVLA but it's because the bid is exclusive of VAT; the fee is 7%+VAT and then there's the £80 transfer fee on top.

https://dvlaauction.co.uk/auction/B265/8VYF (£3700 inc fees)
https://dvlaauction.co.uk/auction/B265/8UKB (£3945)
https://dvlaauction.co.uk/auction/B265/2PUF (£3945)
https://dvlaauction.co.uk/auction/B265/9PBT (£3996)
https://dvlaauction.co.uk/auction/B265/9NUY (£3932)
https://dvlaauction.co.uk/auction/B265/6NUG (£3983)
https://dvlaauction.co.uk/auction/B265/4NHJ (£3958)
https://dvlaauction.co.uk/auction/B265/6EBR (£3804)

I think my learning there is that the cheapest 4-character plate (not a Northern Irish plate) is 3 letters, later in the auction and with at least one less common initial in it. Not a surprise. I did ponder bidding on 6NUG and 9NUY because I quite liked them but not to the tune of £4000. I'd rather spend a bit more and get a more attractive plate or have a suffix plate like either of these:
https://dvlaauction.co.uk/auction/B265/OFF1F
https://dvlaauction.co.uk/auction/B265/TOA4D - I think this was a bit of a bargain to be honest at £1942 all in.

Interesting that there's no sniping; any bids placed in the last half hour extend the end time for that plate's auction by half an hour.

Spotted - a Taycan on the M3 this afternoon tailgating and being a prat, reg NOO SWAG

TOY 80Y on a minty Capri.

I saw 8X on a really tatty looking Bentley going into a petrol station this evening. I think it was a 90s continental, but not super familiar with that age of Bentley.

Well it's not as though the owner is using it to commute to work at 80 years old...
