Someone I know has BU58 OSS on his Audi.

He owns a bus company.

So he IS a Boss then.

It’s a shame he couldn’t seek out and buy BO55 BUS and didn’t have to butcher the spacing.

There's a house near me with black Range Rover Sport and a black Ford Ranger pickup with.....

BO55 ABC

and

BO51 ABC

Boss and bossy .

• not ABC*

Plenty of other "Bosses" in this area ,Range rovers being favourite "bosses ride "

There's "EV11 MUM" and "EV11 DAD" not far from me. I think they're quite clever.

As this one cause a few tired keyboard toddlers to have a paddy, I thought I'd share another one that I see regularly.

Clearly a Star Wars/TIE Fighter fan. Let me know if it needs explaining, Ari.

A woman delivers takeaways locally in a green A45 AMG with 3D BO55 plates. Someone posted on the community Facebook page that she'd run over his cat outside his house, on a small side road on a housing estate, got out of the car and looked at the cat and then just driven off.

It's hard not to tarnish all A45 owners with the same brush, but what's the correct way to deal with a run over cat that's a gonner?

- Stare at it.
- Move to side of road.
- Put on kerb.
- Take it home in a TK Maxx bag.
- Post a picture on the local FB group and say dead cat is here.

It's not cut and dry for a poor feline.

Knock on the doors of some local houses and make enquiries as to the owner, is the sensible and moral way to deal with it.

It baffles me how someone could kill a cat with a car on a residential cul-de-sac. I don't want to veer off topic, but I would knock on doors first and, if I couldn't find the owner that way, take it to a vet to be scanned for a microchip.

A real BOSS would have slung the deceased feline in the boot and conveyed it back to the takeaway for inclusion in the next order of 'mixed meat' whatever, ensuring a BOSS bonus from the boss man...

I thought the evil mum thing was obvious but I don't know next to nothing about Star Wars or MX5's.

Jedi something.

Should have found it earlier....

To be fair £4k in 2017 probably isn't far off 18k in 2023's money the way things are going.

Personally, I'm from a rural area and I was raised that If you kill it, you eat it.

Cat is an acquired taste.
Swan on the other hand…

Its fascinating why people feel the need to effectively add another badge to their car via a personal plate. Particularly the B055 ones (or whatever) as referred to in the original post.

I wonder how many of the owners would also wear a badge on their jumper or something saying Boss XYZ (or whatever initals they have)

It's just all a bit 'look at me'.

Harmless really but quite interesting all the same!

You have to add a badge in the UK so if you have to run a number plate then people like to personalise. I guess it’s the same reason why people started to dye their mammoth skin clothes or paint their caves?

A real BOSS plate owner would have run back to the safety of their metal box , where they feel safe from retribution for ALL of their motoring fk ups.

It all would have been forgotten at the next junction, where they can deliberately get in the wrong lane and brake test a few people from said safety.

Yeah JEDI and 30E is (if you squint a bit and add a bit of licence) the shape of Darth Vader's TIE fighter.

I think maybe we're all missing something; there's the old saying "dress for the job you want, not the job you have". Maybe the reason that people with BO55 plates are almost never actually a BO55 is that they are merely wearing the plates for the job they want?

More strange passive aggressiveness from 'almost says something if you shut one eye and squint with the other' numberplate fans.

Weird thread, think I'll leave you all to it.

Variation on the theme spotted on a 'fake' Range Rover this time.

Remarkably seen within a few hundred metres of the infamous 4D gel plated (presumably to add to the overall pretence) 'BOSS REF' posted earlier in the thread. Must have been attending a 'BOSS' conference (in the numberplate world if nothing else).

Cue our resident handwringer posting 'stalking' and 'have you nothing else to do' type comments even though he clearly spends most of his time constantly stalking this thread.

I like numberplates. I read the good plate thread, I read the bad plate thread. I often even spend time looking up plates and fantasy shopping which knobbish plate I could buy.

However, Even to me I wouldn't have noticed this as a boss plate.

[av185]

I did say it was a variation on the theme......

Half the driving instructors where I live seem to have PA55XXX. One of them has 2 Audis in white, one has pink graphics and is PA55PNK, the other has blue graphics and is PA55BLU

A friend who owns an S15 200SX has S15 WTF, because no one knows what it is. Someone else has S15 FTW.
