Followed it this morning on the M25, a Silver Noble (THE 57IG Reg), sure it wasn't Ben, but someones paid some money to stand out in the crowd.  :)

Nice reg  :y

reasons i wont get a private plate, i dont like to stand out in a crowd, never draw attention to ones self.

Bl**dy Hell, 10 grand he paid for it, just googlog it.

Exactly Richie, I can't see the allure in these plates :y

Not as sad as our resident street busy-bodies (we call them 'The Buckets') who have the following plates.....

Him = W house number DAD
Her = W house number MOM

And then there's the daughter (Sam AKA super-bitch) whose plate reads.... you guessed it! W house number SAM!

So .. going by the picture .. when wil he be booked for contravening registration plate laws ???   I see at least 3 reasons and I know nothing !!! :)

my number plate has 1 letter, followed by 3 numbers, then 3 letters.  Thats enough personalisation for me  ;D

I could buy MO--STE for £799. Quite cheap but...no.

i could have a personalised number plate if i wanted,  i just need to change my name to "sp03zjz" by deed poll  ;D

If you drive a Noble you're gona get all the attention you need & the plate will just add a small amount to that ;)

I had the registration W17ORE after I got divorced,the police didn't take too kindly to me rearranging it to include a european 7 so the 17 looked like an H.Never caused me any harm and several ladies seem to like it. ;D ;D :y :y

Some have more money than sense, others do it for the laugh.

Nearest thing to a personal plate I had was on a VX coupe, it was MBR1P. Trouble was my initials aren't MB and I wasn't dead, still aren't as far as I can tell :D ;) ;D ;D

I have one, it's on the Mig. :y It was bought for me by my parents for my 40th Birthday... :D :D :D

No, Ben Collins is the Stig, well the main one, there’s about 7 of them for Outside Broadcast, and a couple of them are female drivers, probably saying too much here. :-X,

Watch the episode with the parachutist trying to land in the moving car, it was originally filmed as the Stig as the driver of the car, but they had to re film it as stiggy couldn't see the parachutist with he’s helmet on, so it was released as Ben Collins as the driver.  :-X
