Mildly amusing or not? You decide!

For quite a while now I've noticed the odd R800 number plate on various different cars.
Never anything Rover related though.
Last weekend while out I spotted a surprising choice of plate on a SEAT.
I wished I'd actually taken a photo of it now. It amused me anyway.
A quick Google has come up with these.

There's a similar Rxx NOB plate round my neck of the woods Chris, think it's R12 but might be wrong. Obviously a hidden meaning somewhere only apparent to the owners of the plates.
There's currently a J reg BMW E30 for sale in Practical Classics with the plate "J800 RVR", sort of tempting just for the plate.
There are a lot of number plates around that are interesting, amusing etc, i never seem to find any though!

I see a lot of clever ones here and there.
There seems to be a new take on them these days. Not necessarily being car or even name related.
PA57YAA is one from an Astra group member that I think is clever. It reads as PAST YAA just incase it's not obvious.

Years ago, I got overtaken (at enormous speed) by a Delta Intergrale that was HHS 004W
When you see it in your rear view mirror, it's "WHOOSHH"

Hang 0n - it must have been something else! Cos that's nonsense.
Maybe it was HSS 500W ?

You were probably right the first time Adrian, especially if it had the "digital" font as the 4s look like "H"s.
Good either way!

Clever either way.
Someone thought about that for a while I think. ?

There's one round my way that is T124 CEE but the front plate is arranged so the 1 and 2are very close together and no gap between the 4 and C so it spells TRACEE.
Also the place i go for my MoTs has WH 04 MOT (on a Transit Luton) but arranged as WH0 4 MOT on a few plates stuck on the side, top of the Luton body. Obviously the normal number plates have to be arranged correctly considering the line of work they're in!

I used to see an Audi parked up, on my way home from work, most nights.
Reg no. G155ABJ
with the spaces put in it and suspect lettering...
It read G1SS A BJ

I saw a good one yesterday on a Citroen (C5?) that was CE55 POT - no need for altered spacing!
That said, given the way some people round here talk, they might think it reads "SEX POT" - how wrong they are!

Black cab with CAB 881E
Weirdly, showing as taxed, but not MOT-ed since 2018?
