Abu Dhabi would be a good country to get free. Rob, Abbu, Abbu, Rob. "Just like that" Spoken in a Tommy Cooper type voice. But would Marcus like me wearing one of his bands titfers?

Then change your house name to A. Dobie Hut. Lampsign Place, Randomroadfuniture, Polgate, East Suffix.

I was going to suggest a hook but the Fez sounded less rude than comparisons with Abbu 'Look No' Hansa, part of the Carl Borgward group of terrorists.

Folk with 'personalised' number plates on the wrong car should pay extra tax a year as clearly they have to much money.

I think you are right Al.  When I was in Rayleigh there was a garage on the industrial estate that serviced exotic cars.  COM 1C was on a red Ferrari.  That's why I remember it.  There were some very expensive plates going up and down the road in those days.

Even I would pay £700 for that!  No interest in personalized numbers really.

Interesting as I saw COM IC on a Roller yonks ago when I was on my way to School, be mid '70's. Tarby in Swindon. Not sure where he lives but I expect near a Golf course.

BOB IP sounds like a pit of a cheapskates number, somehow. BOB 1N would be the one but no doubt rather expensive.

Or perhaps Bob Notrup?

I saw a van on the A2 a few weeks ago with L 1 SFU arranged L1S FU, suggesting either a bust-up or perhaps strong anti-royalty feelings!

BOB 1P looks ideal for Bob - go for it.

The most economical option is to find a cheap cherished number then change your name by Deed Poll to suit.................

Just proves I am no use at this number plate thing being dyslexic. The relevance of the P completely escaped me. Most of the 'words' I cannot see as they are like text speak and not a picsal I recognise. L 1 SFU would go right passed me unless explained.

Got TBM 911 so I only need to change my name and buy a Porsche 911 to have a simply enormous willy, then.

Quite frankly I prefer 804 LOX on a square letter plate, which might find its way onto Buster if he gets built.

I have just cycled down hill to my local motorcycle shop that does MOTs. It was hell coming back though, (bad knees). As I have bought a few bikes from them and had mopeds MOTed there from around 2006-9 I thought that they would know all the answers. But no, they say they have had no information about pre-1960 vehicles exempted from MOTs after 18th Nov.
Strange, but maybe the authorities have told them to keep quiet.

Would the mot centers be the ones to know though? If anyone I would have thought the local DVLA offices would know something as they issue tax discs. I wonder if we are going to experience another government fiasco?  Hope your knees feel better Rob!
