Personalised number plates

[PrincessWellington]

Why would someone pay money to have a misspelt version of their name on their car? Or words?

E.g. M41HEW, A11CET, OF55IDE T

I get the initials ones, not that i would want one, don't get this.

I have a theory though!

Not me then Jenai as I have called no one a twat.

But designers aren't shy in having their logos on show, sparkling. Anyone interested in fashion/handbags/watches would pick up the logos instantly.

I know sod all about cars, and wouldn't know what was expensive and what wasn't.

Lol, was just about to say the same Sparkling.

.....not that I know a whole lot about fashion either.....

The point is the deliberate drawing of attention.

You could drive a ferrari and be a twat and drive a ferrari and not be a twat. The difference would be between revving it at the lights, speeding through tunnels, winding the window down and grinning like a moron at everyone and just driving it around without a thought to what anyone else thinks just because you love the car.

Its all in the way you carry yourself and interact with the world, not what you have.

Not just a competitive egotistical twat...but a competitive egotistical twat who can't spell

Define class, Red.

Cars in general are wasted on me I think. DH is always swooning over this car, that car but it's hard to enthuse.

And I am the last person that would want to draw attention to myself.

Normal car and no PP for me.

this one even

Sparkling I agree.

A car needs some basic things - 4 wheels,engine - that sort of shit.

As long as it goes,the rest is fluff.

What's the point in having a Ferrari if you can't rev it at the lights, speed through tunnels, wind the window down and grin like a moron through the sheer joy of it?

I think the 'class' thing, is definitely about whether you are doing it to 'prove' status, rather than just being and feeling that need to prove your status.

You can be classy and poor (and indeed working class) - you certainly don't have to be rich or middle (or even upper class) to have class. Its not about having money, more about having the confidence to know you just can exist without having to justify or constantly have to show the world you are X, Y or Z.

I love my personalised plate. My DH gave it to me on our wedding day. It spells my initial and full name. He had the same one on his car (different initial, obviously not exactly the same plate). The thing is, to anyone who doesn't know our name, it looks like a normal number plate. And it actually makes my car look 6 years older than it is. But I don't care - I love it!

Moron is the operative word there Jenai

I hate the word chav, but they do make me think chav.

Seasicksal, You need to get your facts straight before you go spewing a load of rubbish.

David Beckham had P10 DRB - I wouldn't think he gave a shit if anyone thought he was a twat!

They are not as bad as fake Louis Vuitton handbags though - that is the height of tackiness!!

But I wouldn't know a fake/real handbag Clover.

Thats not a bad thing though really

DH has one with his initials, his parents bought it for his 21st, i dislike it intensely, he wanted to put it on the family car (i drive it 99% of the time) i made him put it on his manky old work van instead!

His parents have their initials on their cars though so they don't see it the way i do, which obviously is fine and i don't judge them for it, i just would never have one or equally drive a car emblazoned with my husbands initials

Not to worry Sparkling.

A handbag is for putting stuff in.That's all.

If you like it,who cares what its name is.....

It's always entertaining to see a bloke driving his other half's car with a right girly PP.
