it isnt to bad i figured it was a bit like an investment.

if you look at the sight you should see what   51NGH when for.....................£210,000...........there are some people with really to much money around.

plus all the figures stated are only hammer price you have to add on vat, auction house fees etc.  but still i think i did alright.... :mmmm

Nice plate mate

Mine H10T RX - £250
Title: ..
Post by: GerbilStuntFarm on April 22, 2006, 04:21:02 PM
Glad somebody snapped it up, saw it on the dvla site a few days ago. Think the reserve was 2100? Fancied it myself but absolutely no way could i afford that this year :)  I think \'TUN3S\' was there too, reserve something like 800 - 900. Also JOE 9T was at an auction a month or so back, which was groovier than groovy.

Apart from those nothing much has caught my eye. Which is lucky considering my bank unbalance.

Anyway congrats, knew as soon as i saw the topic what you\'d bought :)

mine cost me £300 from dvla website, took it off my merc but my rex is too old to put it on
shame, certainlly gets glances of so many different types! would suit the mazda

plate reads M19NGE

also have 643 MHO on retention and 767 AML on my aston

M19NGE is still my favourite for the smirk value

nough said!

REX 7 must be one of the best for these cars, solid investment as well

Post by: D1 WTF on April 22, 2006, 06:17:51 PM
that is what i though,  
i also have another plate on retention which cost me £500 which i bought with money given to me for my 18th Bday.  G8 SJK, they have only reasontly in the last couple of years figured these plates out and classing them as GB (great britain) plates therefore not selling them at the standard £250.  (SJK is my initial)

If i didnt get REX 7 i was going to put that on my car.

i cant wait to have REX 7 as a stick on plate on the front of my rex! though.. :)

I have H8 TRX on mine which I have provisionally sold, just waiting for the V5 and stuff to come through (been over 4 weeks now)
I think it\'s a pretty cool plate for a rex but i\'m much more in need of the money than I am of a nice combination of letters and numbers! Wish i could afford £3400 for anything let alone the plate!

finally got round to putting it on!  well sort of.   got some plates for the rear and the front.  

although it aint finished yet.  i am going to narrow down the rear plate so there is less yellow.  and the front is only on temporary as i am waiting for the stick on to be made.

Today I saw N44KED on a merc :)

A mate of mine has a plate on his CSL that reads FAST AS can\'t remember what it is exactly but that\'s how it looks and reads.

Might be up for sale at some point will post on here if it is as would suit an RX :)

Cheers

When my wife had the MGF she wanted to spell "NICKY" and we managed to find  N1 CKY for the nice sum of .................... £42,000  :spank

So instead got N17 KCY which you might think is pap but looks quite cool for £250
