Bannatynes Number Plates

Some time ago I discovered that Duncan Bannatyne had his own number plate sales web site, believe it or not, via a conversation we had on twitter.

Initially, I contacted him to ask whether he knew if Theo Paphitis' twitter account was genuine, as I know Theo to be a fan of personalised number plates. I didn't really expect him to reply as, obviously, he's a busy bloke and, even back then, had tens of thousands of followers so would have been receiving a great deal of messages and requests.

Well, reply he did and the ensuing conversation lead me to 'Bannatynes Number Plates'.

From memory, I believe that all the vehicle registrations on his website belong to him so there won't be any 'dealer in the middle'.

I wonder if this is legal?

UTD BOSS..?

A Birmingham car dealer traveled to Old Trafford hoping to do battle with his footballing idle, Sir Alex Ferguson.

Thar Khan, a 36 year old Manchester United fan, fortunately had an easy pass in his bid to buy UTD 805S, which he managed to do for 3,237 pounds during the closing stages of DVLA Personalised Registrations Spring Auction.

"I can't believe buying UTD 805S was so easy!" said the elated Mr Khan, "I came up here hoping and expecting to battle against Sir Alex himself. To me, UTD 805S has to be the ultimate number plate for any United supporter and I've bought it for a snip! It's a great investment."

In total, DVLA Personalised Registrations will generate more than £3.2 million from the three day sale with all the funds going to the Treasury.

Better than 'L' plates

Assured driving instructor Alan Wales is so confident his students will pass their tests, he has come up with the perfect way to advertise it on his car.

The 51-year-old has been teaching people to drive for over 30 years and bought the registration plate PA55 ABL, as it clearly resembles the word 'Passable'.

Mr Wales, who is based in Leatherhead, said: "I want to get as many people as possible passing their tests this year - hopefully the number plates will help."

"My driving school, Mid-Surrey School of Motoring, has already got an excellent pass rate but I am confident my new registration will help raise this further," he added.
