Default My New Plate

With all due deference to JP53, I would like to show you the new plate I purchased a couple of months ago:




My original reg was a BU51 PHA, and I was asked several times whether it was a personalised plate. As the PHA part was meaningless to me, I thought BU51 ROV "Busy Rover" was more appropriate. By the way, I was born in 1953 too!

Nice plate :lol:

Isn't it wonderful that we all love our cars so much that we buy them these nice new plates! I'm glad I don't have any kids, because they'd be feeling left out...

Thanks for all your kind comments, everyone - much appreciated!

JP53, how stupid am I, I thought the "53" on your plate referred to your year of birth, not your birth date (March 5th). That makes you ten years younger than me........and I actually owned up to being 55 in public!!


Kind regards, David
