Young lad showing off springs to mind, Susan.
Must have a very good job or otherwise he's paying a big car loan with it?

Yes Floydy like a lot of his generation it's on the plastic but he does have collateral in his house and as he said if things turn upside down he can always sell it . He works hard has no wife or kids and loves cars

My son arrived in his new boxter porsch ( I think it's called that ! ) yesterday also with his personal number plate .

A lovely looking car ( he parked beside my little 11 year old sea't ) even I loved it . He opened the Porsche passenger door as I fell unladylike into the deep leather seats trying to righten myself without looking like a grey haired overweight ole biddy . Son starts the engine it roared or purred not sure which and we set off on a show off drive . I'm trying to sit low in the seat as I dont want to embarrass my lad driving his old mum about . Thank God it was raining or he would have pressed the button to remove the roof for the world to see us both . Some may have looked at the old lady with her toy boy and others looked and thought the young lad with his rich old lady .

At one point he pressed a button and the twin exhausts roared and pushed the car with such a shove I hung on to the door handle as he laughed at the joy of owning his new Boxter Porsche. What a smashing car and quite powerful , I'd hate it as I couldn't control the beautiful beast .

Arriving home I managed to push the passenger door open making it a bit difficult cause we were on a slant then I hauled myself out of the seat legs splaying and kicking trying to get upright out of the sloping car finally son grabs my arms as we both tug and pull to get me out of the deep bucket seats . Embarrassing or what ....neighbours watching through net curtains.

Son worked hard to buy his beautiful Porsche he earned every penny and deserves his moments of joy even with his personalised number plate .

P.S. once upon a time I would have sexily put one stilleto heeled shoe onto the pavement then slid ladylike out of the Porsche with a gentle push of the hips as I alighted looking glamorous.

I'll say no more

A*5 0LE can't fathom out the letter R is as a number 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 or0 nearest is the letter 4 is my guess

Show plates really mess up legit plates and illegal on the road

why put "baby on board" in the back window of a car? who driving behind cares if they have a baby on not, Nothing special, all families have a baby at some time or other.

Realspeed, my understanding is that the original thinking behind the "baby on board" sticker was to alert the emergency services of the fact in the case of an accident/fire, etc.

I have a personalised plate...a 50th birthday present to myself and it went straight on to the car I bought from new 6 months later. As it looks like any normal plate, with the same set of letters and numbers, it doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb, but is completely personal to me. Why? Well, why not? It’s one thing I am very proud of and will retain for as long as I am driving.

I’ll leave Emjay or Carol to answer what sort of person they think I am.
