CAL180Y which obviously looks like Cali boy no bids at £200

I can see CAL 80Y starting at £300 but not CAL180Y + £200

I'm not planning on bidding onCAL180Y, however there is another plate I'm interested in. But I can't see where to register as a bidder? I'm already logged in as a previous customer, but still no link to bid.

Cal 180y on £1250 now

 

[Splitrich]

Thanks for the dislike Susibus??????? What's your problem??
I see that a link has now been put in to bid.

Edit: Admin, can you look in gremlins in the system, as Susibus has pm'd me to say he did not dislike my post. However if you look at screenshot below you'll understand my concern.

Saw a Black BMW last week here that had a ZORRO plate...don't know howmuch it coasts here in Belgium , but rather give the money on some xtra options instead
Only the gouvernement/state gets ritch on such nonsens...

 

[Ricotansky]

I don't get it. It will only mean something if you space it illegally surely?

I don't mean to offend anyone, as everyone likes to spend their money on different things, but these contrived plates with weird spacing or bolts in the wrong place to make it look like something else say a lot more about the owner than i think they want it to!

 

[Splitrich]

Why would you want CALL BOY as a number plate

Martin / Admin - Please see my edit to post 9 in this thread.

With touch screens it's really easy to accidentally touch one of the icons when scrolling. I've disliked a few posts by mistake but realised immediately when I've noticed the option to undo the rating. As I've had emails notifying me of ratings from others I'm not sure if people still get the emails when they are undone quickly.

Probably worth a thread of it's own to bring it to everyone's attention, I've noticed some of these negative ratings and been at loss to understand the reason. Probably due to a mistake but it can be upsetting to the poster.

I have removed the dislike icon for now until someone upsets me

The present registration number system has been devised to boost sales for the motor industry and encourage people to change their cars so they have the latest year identifier. This is to the detriment of existing owners (e.g. mine is 64 plate and is now old hat), so it is useful to be able to lose this by buying a personalised plate.

Were I to be able to buy COL1N it would signify I had more money than sense, and would probably send out the wrong signals to other road users. But there are loads of reg numbers available for about £250 which will make your vehicle dateless so can save money in the long term by removing the urge to trade in (if you are the sort to have that urge, and lets face it, it is a part of human nature).

In the case of CAL180Y, at £250 it would have been OK but £1200 or more is silly money
