     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    Having just transfered a custom plate to a car, it surprises me that my Insurance company charges £19.50 to update a single field in the database.

    I changed my address, and worked out that they were charging me over £1 per keystroke. Bastards.

    Was overtaken by a black Merc on the M4 yesterday, number plate P90 AXE. Even though I don't like calling my guitar an axe I thought it was a pretty cool plate. Then today I saw TH15 ROX on a Beemer.

    Just looking out for LE5 9AUL now.
    I'm a bit late to the game, but, I've owned that plate since 1st Sept 2009, I had it on my office calendar for 8 years waiting for the day to pounce on the DVLA.........just about to put on my car again and pick up my guitar again funnily enough. I was looking for an old thread on a Les Paul forum where I'd previously discussed it and came across this discussion......

    I always make up phrases for my car number plates - Not necessarily sexy as per above - But certainly some instant catchy 'message'  - Kevin 69 Lenny is my current plate/message

    One of the coolest I have seen was A8LUR on an Alpine A310 In Cheshire.  A long, long time ago I used to have 37JON.

    I don't like personalised number plates
    I especially don't like fairly low value ones where people have tampered with the layout or letters to try and personalise them because it smells of trying hard to be cool and it just isn't ..........the automotive fake-Gucci bag............when,
    738 RRY  Gets doctored and put together to become TERRY 
    S10 DSS  becomes SIDS'S
    bit pathetic....says I couldn't  afford SID 5 .........but I want it so badly so here's one I made earlier !
    I guess they figure the ego boost is worth being pulled over and fined a couple of times per year

    I had a lesson in buying reg numbers from a mate of mine, as he had done it often before.

    He told me to make an offer to the company, then stick to it no matter what. Also do not keep looking at it on their site as they can see the amount of hits it’s getting.

    So I put an offer in and they said no, they said there was absolutely no way their directors would be accepting the offer.

    A week later I got a call asking if I was interested at their price and I reiterated I wasn’t.

    My mate told me not to worry as all I had to do was forget about it and in a couple of months he guaranteed they would ring me and take my offer.

    Out of the blue about 3 months later I got the call and got the plate at the price I offered to them. It was £5000 off their asking price.

    So if there is a cherished plate you fancy but the price is high, it may well be worth sticking your offer in and just forgetting about it

    There's a black AMG Merc I have see occasionally in the (Dulwich/Streatham/ Brixton)  

    G1LL4N

    It couldn't be Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, could it?.

    No it couldn’t because that’s not a valid number plate.

    It's some variant that "says" Gillan" when I see it. I'll look more closely next time.
