I wasn't really looking for a Personal plate but, when I was on the DVLA site looking for one for my daughter, I came across this one. With this year marking my 16th consecutive visit to Le Sarthe, and it being a really reasonable price, I kinda couldn't resist it.   |

An onanist is...
a man who masturbates
I had to google it, probably because I've never been called one, or it could be because I've got a private plate.
Oh well, back to my sad life...

I have a private plate. I also deserve to be judged.

I have a private plate. I also deserve to be judged. I'm Spartacas too! I have a private 'plate! The very deep feelings the ownership/display of a private 'plate seem to arouse in some people consistently baffles me. I just don't get it. I understand why a lot of people wouldn't want one or see the point - after all, every 'plate is "unique", but the anger I see them generate on-line sometimes, I do find remarkable. There are literally hundreds of pages of ranting devoted to loathing them and looking down on anyone who would fit a private 'plate on Piston Heads. That's just weird. It doesn't particularly bother me what I see on line - in the real world, away from the internet, no one has ever commented on my own 'plate, for good or bad. I inherited mine, so it has a sentimental value to me. My dad owned it for a great many years - it is a three number, three letter (his initials) 'plate, originally issued in 1959. My nephew shares the initials, so I imagine in about 15 years when he starts to drive he may want it for his car. |

Mine was a present for my 21st from my parents, it has a certain sentimental value too.
Oh, and you managed to find some pointless negativity on the Pistonheads forums? Goodness, imagine that...

PH does certainly have its moments! It is a huge site though, so there is stuff worth reading there too. |

I also have one and have no problem with others with plates, i really do not see people's issues as it's just another way of personalisation, it was a gift from mrs fp for my 30th birthday, it says my nickname and I love it, yes I am a W4 NKR but who cares

I think the personalised plate arguement thing can be summed up fairly easily. There are two reasonable camps: those who have some kind of sentimental attachment to a piece of plastic with numbers and letters on, and those who don't understand why anyone would become attached to something like that. However there is a third camp that just contains the onanists.

My private plate was purchased for my 30th (almost a decade ago - jeez!) and I transferred it to a Celica and then my classic Impreza. After that I kept on retaining it for a number of years as I'm notorious for not tending to keep daily drivers for much more than 12 months, and didn't see the point in transferring it unless I was going to keep the car for a sustained period of time. I sold it about 12 months ago, after having enough of paying the Welsh for annual retention fees. I must have paid the equivalent value of the plate in retention fees over the years.
Having said all of the above, I've always got the corner of my eye on eBay and elsewhere for a pre 63 Cornish registration plate, and reckon if the right one came along at the right price I'd probably snap it up and stick in on my Lambretta, which I've owned for years, and can't see myself selling for the foreseeable.
My fiancée made me chuckle the per day when she showed me a photo of a newish Range Rover with a private plate which was T3WAT. The owner obviously had a sense of humour, unlike a few on this thread. It made me laugh, her laugh and doubtless most others who've spotted it. Nothing wrong with that.
