Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

<div class="bbWrapper">A couple of &#039;birthday&#039; plates.

The Range Rover was probably <b>F14 MES</b> (which is on a black RR Sport), but the other one is anyone&#039;s guess, as none of the likely candidates has ever been issued by the DVLA. Closest one out there is <b>M7 NGE</b>, currently on a Porsche 911.</div>

The only thing I could make from the plate is that it&#039;s trying to say BOLA or BOWLER?</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper"><b>MOCAS</b>, I too saw ROK11 = ROKI 1, parked up on that square behind Edgeware Road near Maroush. Bloody cops with guns on the same corner, looked like he wanted to shoot to kill me just for taking a picture of a parked car.<br /> <br /> I didnt risk taking a second picture!<br /> <br /> Saw this parked adjecent to the SL, looks like it is meant to say SHERY. Then found out that this is what is known as a 458.

<div class="bbWrapper">the nicest car and plate combination was <b>DC 1</b><br /> <br /> on an old white rolls corniche, driven by an old boy, also on the same road just off edgeware road.

A hotel in Monaco, great job on the beeb, still racing cars, a gorgeous girlfriend... I doubt he really cares!</div>

There&#039;s always at least two armed officers out front, and another two guarding his, erm, back passage. Usually the latter two conceal themselves in the mews, but every now and then they emerge onto Connaught St to put the wind up the tourists. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></div>
