I pick my new car up in next couple of weeks.
I spent ages dithering at showroom and in end settled on car, but just before i shook on the deal i said "oooh whats the number plate?"

the dealer asked if i was going to change my mind on car if it had the "wrong" letters. Apparently he had once lost out on a sale because the female buyer didnt want a plate that read XXL at the end.

I once had a car that ended HRT but apart from a bit of mickey taking by friends i had no problems having that reg.

anyone else had any good ones or would you not buy a car based on its plate?

My ex had 1 ALD. He did say that if the 1 had been at the end, he could have sold it to the chairman of Aldi.

i had a girl in tears the other day i had her new car delivered and the plate was

DN11 URD,

i still don't see the problem but she was mortified :-p

I had one ending MRN so I called the car The Moron. (Some people would say that was a description of the driver...)

I would think twice about a registration of STD.

My car is an advert of Kentucky fried chicken :)

and I had a friend who bought a knackered old mini for a couple of hundred purely because the numberplate was ACE 911T, which he sold for a small fortune to a 911 turbo owner.

my boss last car ended in YAU, i remembered it by using 'yellow aging underpants' he used to get very annoyed with me when he could hear me booking it in for services etc

There are some combinations of letters that would totally stop me buying a car.

I would not drive round with letters on my number plate like ...

FRT

CRP

PXY

Although I wouldn't mind ...

BTM

My son bought a car with the existing numberplate of A4 JIM which he sold to an audi owner with those initials. He made quite a lot of money on e-bay.
