There are still a few " * 555 WRT " regs available on the DVLA site for £250 and £399. I saw that the Subaru WR team are using WRT plates this season (I think Petter is on S40WRT).

What do you think, as a private plate -- cool or nuff?

interesting one because 99.999999% of ppl will not have a clue what it means. Now at this point folk will dive in and say "ahhhhh, but the reason its so cool is because only real scoob ppl will spot it".......which begs the question why bother?

Why waste money on something .01% may spot?

I have a "WRC" plate on my 22B and love it. I have bought a "*555 SRT" plate on retention for my girlfriend for when we get her a Scoob.

Personal taste I guess but 1 vote for cool from me!

I keep buying plates and leaving them on cars
*300 UK*, *** COS etc why not buy a name plate for yourself ??
You can keep it and change from car to car then instead of having to leave it on there.

I have an S* AWD plate on my car, which at least means I can by an Audi (if I wanted to ). Again, it was from the DVLA.

Talking
The simple thing is to change your name by deed poll to match your car's plate. My neighbour (a solicitor) gave me all the paperwork to change my name to D63 WHH (which was my old Cosworth).

Just call me D.
