Gav - 25/11/06 at 11:22 PM

Today going from Preston to Blackburn saw a Aston DB9 with the number plate DB 9 wonder how much that would of set him back, never mind the car!

An arm,two legs,both kidneys and on top of that sell the missus into slavery I'd imagine!

should have used the cash 2 get a vanquish

i know *SLR* is worth nearly as much as the car

is that number not owned by an overrated football player with the same initials and shirt number?

when i worked in hemel my boss asked me to go to a dvla auction in grantham to get "5 AD" for him £38,000.00 was the amount paid for that one

Somebody I know just got RU55ELL for £78K - not exactly locost!

Years ago I saw a convertible Aston Martin with the numberplate 007

And about two weeks ago in Chandlers Ford, I saw a new Aston Martin convertible gun metal grey with the numberplate 07 not quite as good but no doubt expensive

Cheers

I believe you are correct....

I'm still continuously onto DVLA too release the one I want......

JON 150N

all I get back is updates of upcoming auctions and told too look out for it as one day they "may" release it.

What I don't understand is I am more than happy too pay market value for it, not after a cheap favour just the plate. Typically JON 150W would fetch under £1k at auction as its nothing special, JON + 3 numbers and a letter don't amount too much £££ wise in the scheme of things, not like I'm after JON 1.

Rant over, anyone know someone who can pull a few strings ?

"I believe you are correct.... "

Hey Gav, if it was Mr Beckham, and you had got a pic,, you could have made a few bob riging round the tabloids with speculation he was coming to speak to Blackburn Rovers

where else does the M65 lead!!!!, oh Burnley

Mitch

theres also T4WTU in Blackburn which always makes me laugh when i see it in the rview mirror


Gav - 26/11/06 at 05:19 PM

Carnt say i saw the driver as they were going away from me.

T4WTU, ive seen this a few times, its usually parked down by the mill units down the road from me.

One of the best ive seen was an A8 in Bolton along Chorley new road outside an accountants, AUD1T

I've seen that around about the area too. Though not lately.

My number plate would be M15ERY; but it is gone , strangely enough I saw it on a dark coloured BMW Z3.
