Alright folks,
I'm gonna start this off by saying that I don't consider myself to be an arrogant knob
.
All's it is, I've been looking at personalised plates lately, my missus suggested it because she got one last year from https://www.netplates.co.uk and she loves it (but she also loves The Notebook...).
Anyways, come 03/02/2020, it'll be a decade since I got Rover, my beloved Discovery so the missus says she will buy me this plate https://www.netplates.co.uk/dvla-plates/buy/f3-rov
I'd normally tell her to sling it (in a nice way if poss) but in all honesty a part of me loves the idea. I'm so sentimental with most things, but Rover's been there through so many up's and down's I pretty much consider her a family member.
The difficulty comes from when I've had a look online and seen that the general consensus seems to be that you're considered a knob if you drive with a plate that's related to the car model... Which is so bloody annoying, to me, I will know it stands for Rover, the name I gave her. Yes, obviously I named her that because shes a landy, but nobody else will know that...
Imagine you're driving down the street and see a copper coloured discovery 4 with F3 ROV as the reg... What would your thoughts be? Would you even think anything of it?
Once I give her my answer, she's looking to buy it ASAP while it's still available, so any help at all is much needed! I'm hoping to give her a straight answer by Monday... Perhaps that's achievable, perhaps not.
Cheers all.
