I'm more surprised that having model lettering at an angle isn't illegal .

Car in front is annoying me big time :P


Love the reg plate :D

At one time (circa 1985) I saw a genuine Tennessee license plate ("Tags" as they call them in the South) : "PHA QUE". I cannot believe they issued it. "Vanity plates", as they are called here, are subject to recall if there are complaints.
The other day I saw one with only two characters (on a big S-class AMG Benz, hate to say) at the airport's charter aircraft parking lot.
I had "PROVA" on my Alfa for years, now have "ATOMIC" on my Passat. I want to get something witty and German for the A8 but there seems to be a general lack of short (<7 characters) German words. let alone witty ones!
My brother had "TSCHUSS" on his Porsche for years.

Legal? Schmegal!
 
Not sure my new plate will past muster on the legal front either, at least not the way I want it spaced - TE51 AMY.

I'll let people guess how it'll be spaced and why ..:D

First one is an obscene insult (read it out loud only if you're alone). It means "to copulate" and then "you".

PROVA plates are on every Italian car the manufacturer is testing. It means "to test" or "Testing". They are officially issued and the Italian police supposedly look the other way because they know it's a professional driver road testing a new car. I always read car magazines and saw them in the photos from the stories where they sent a photographer to the factory.

Tschuss is a casual greeting in German akin to "Ciao" in Italian; it means hi and/or bye. Pronounced "Chuss" and I've heard my German wife say "Tschussy", too. I think it's mostly a "goodbye for now".

It is currently on retention, should any of you guys want to make a bid for it! :)

It's been valued at £775 and this has the fee already paid up! +++
