The other day I saw

W11VVW (or something similar - it had the correct place on the rear, dodgy one on the front).

the front looked like:

VVVVVVV

they had tilteed the 1's to look like V's, and joined up all the letters. created a sort of wavey-effect across the plate.

Got to be the most illegal plate i'd ever seen - illegeable from what it was supposed to be.

And did it have a dipstick?

Presumably it means "police please stop me"

It's the latest craze amongst people too scared to illegally alter the rear plate, but still want to look like a complete ****.

Only bettered by the ones that lose the front plate altogether.
 
I'm guessing this car is owned by a playboy called V Mair:

Looks like he may had a run-in with the police and been told to change it. Not sure he quite got the message, though:

Or perhaps he's just changed his name by deed poll... :doh:
 
There is a BMW 7 series that I see quite often that has the plate 'D11 VJD'

Would anyone like to hazard a guess as to what it's been butchered to look like?

A bit like the D 5MYF on Jag round here.

Perhaps Mr Smith has an unfortunate speech impediment :dk:

Malcolm. Kenneth. David. No definitely Kenneth.

On a similar note, someone in yesterday's Telegraph was asking £10,000 for DAU 11D.

The plate they all want was sold by the DVLA in 1991 for £50,000 (hammer price). It was bought by slightly dodgy discount vintner and sometime restaurateur, and now spends most of its time in a garage just off Jermyn St.
 

There is a screw in the middle of the 11 to make it look like an 'A', then the J has been smoothed to look like an 'I'. Until you get really close, it is genuinely hard to tell what the plate says.

I'll get a photo when I next see it.
