May, Hammond, Clarkson Personalised Number Plates Moments

The V14 GRA numberplate is registered to a yellow Fiat 500 Abarth. Absolute don driving around in that hahah

They're all so young here. Time goes by quick. But I still love this trio. Absolute conversationalists!

Starting at 0:30 is one of the best examples of why I loved their news segments so much.

“Big man in a suit of armor. Take that off and what are you?”
“Genius, billionaire, P147 boy, philanthropist”

Best number plate I ever saw was about 15 years back, when a BMW 5 series drove past with H17 LER.

To this day I have no idea how he got away with it.

Jeremy knows quite well that number plates that even look personalized can be very dangerous.

Something I thought was ridiculous is they banned the entire SN07 run, replacing it with TN07, because SNOT is apparently offensive. But they allowed xx69 plates for the second half of 2019. I'm sure you've all seen the BJ69KFC Fiat 500 on social media for example.

The hamas joke aged like fine wine fr 😂😂

Off topic but i want to share that clarkson has confirmed they are doing another season for Clarkson's farm.😄😄

I wonder if anybody in Britain has the number plate "CPT 510W"? If someone does, they should try selling it to James May

Here in Colombia we can't really personalize our plates. Three letters, three numbers, your town name, go. However, it's got some amusing moments, like a Mercedes C-Class with the Bogotá plate BMW-666. Or the most amusing of all, some Police SUVs with the following plate sequence from a little town called Timaná:

GAY-001
GAY-002
GAY-003

And so forth. They might be armoured, but they always get a chuckle when their drivers appear in the cities.

That James May golf joke hasn't aged well given Hamster now plays golf.

The most ironic vanity plate I've ever seen is VAN17Y. It belongs to a very modest lady I know from my orchestra, who drives a 10 year old Nissan Note. But the best part is how she acquired it: she imported a car into the UK from Ireland back in the 80s, and the DVLA just assigned that plate to her car! I bet it would go for a bomb at auction.

This is funny and interesting because a few years ago the Nova Scotia (Canada) government took a man's personalized license plate away because it was GRABHER. Which was his family name, Lorne Grabher. It was all over the news in the Maritimes and he took it to court and lost. He then appealed and lost that, and then tried to take it to the Supreme Court of Canada and they refused to hear it and so he couldn't go any further. The province was roughly divided in half with the support or opposition to his case. It was a huge thing here.

You forgot when they had the Dragons Peter and Theo on, and Theo revealed he’d bought Peter a personal number plate: W411 KER

[PicnicAtTheTesco]

There's a bloke somewhere with a Peugeot 1007, with A1 NUS, if I ever meet him he's getting a beer

Best number plate issued by Victoria Australia was 1BJ 4ME!

3:23 Now that i didn't expect to pop up on top gear

My friend Verity has V33 VER. It caught my eye because that’s Max Verstappen’s racing number and his shortened name in the position graphics. It’s obviously not a rude one but I’m staggered she could afford it if the prices are the same now as they were when this was made.
