Don't really think about it, across the road have 3 matching ones.

My aunt has something like

M40 JJS) married 40 years Janet and John Smith)

(divorced 2 years fecking ex husband)!

Must add mine doesn't spell a word. I do think that's a step too far...

TheSeriousOne · 02/12/2008 15:59

Really, SNAF, cos I don't think M1 DW 1 F 3 is actually a number!!!

I love mine, We already have one for DSD1 and will do the same for the other kids too.

i recently saw P1shee which in my mother tongue means 'wee wee'
not even urine, but wee wee.

Snaf · 02/12/2008 16:00

Yeah well, that would be why I said 'or similar'...

right back atcha. Jeez.

Lulumamawanker · 02/12/2008 16:01

I think they're ghastly and vulgar and nouveau-riche.

MadamDeathstarOverBethlehem · 02/12/2008 16:02

When I was driving NASTYB I also had enormous fluffy, red, truck dice hanging from the rear view mirror.

Yes that car was the epitome of good taste, and as it was a Saturn it was completely recyclable too.

AMumInScotland · 02/12/2008 16:02

I can't see the point in them myself, never felt any desire for one, but I don't see that they're any more obscene than any other un-necessary expense - we're being asked to "spend our way out of the recession" after all, so what difference does it make exactly what needless objects we buy...

What sci-fi book is it where people are required to buy pointless small empty cubes and then have them incinerated?

MorrisZapp · 02/12/2008 16:04

I swear that my old local Chinese takeaway van had 'MSG' on it's numberplate.

Don't know if it's tongue in cheek or not!

(Rice Bowl in Leith Walk, Edinburgh, I swear it's the truth)

SoupDragon · 02/12/2008 16:07

UnquietDad, you don't need to add numbers,
T055ERS works just fine. But unfortunately isn't available so someone might actually be driving around in that car. Probably in a black BMW X5 with blacked out windows and bull bars...

TO55POT has gone too

Gateau · 02/12/2008 16:08

Christiana, is expressing her opinion; she thinks they're shit: that's her point. Pretty obvious, eh??
Unquiet Dad sums them up well.

jesuswhatnext · 02/12/2008 16:08

oh, i will admit to being ghastly, vulgar, nouveau-riche, tossy, wanky whatever you like - i'm an essex girl with a performance car, it would just be rude NOT to have one

(not my fault you poor gits can't afford one )

Lulumamawanker · 02/12/2008 16:09

she asked if she was being unreasonable..

don;t see why it is any more obscene than spending £££ on a handbag or shoes or whatever

Lulumamawanker · 02/12/2008 16:09
SoupDragon · 02/12/2008 16:10

There are 2 I can't choose between for myself. Both are £980. I would, of course, have to buy a newer car to put them on but hey, it's only money.

SantasNuttySTaff · 02/12/2008 16:10

BitOfFunUnderTheMistletoe · 02/12/2008 16:22

Nah, not really, sorry! Missed you on Saturday - was looking forward to a giggle about thinking you were MN's resident bumsex expert! You were right about the fog though, it was one scary drive ...I suppose I am glad DP didn't have to borrow his ex's car though, in case my mangled remains were identified as W4NK3R's...

BitOfFunUnderTheMistletoe · 02/12/2008 16:24

Ooh, MorrisZapp, I used to live at the foot of the walk, and it was known for terrible punning shop names too - my friend owned a hydroponics shop called Sunshine On Leaf, geddit?!
