There are some brilliant ones about and if I don't get the set one then I'm going to be wasting hours on there searching for the next best thing.
Clive's brother is 50 next month and now Clive has got me searching for an appropiate one for him as a pressie..I think we've become addicted

Ego`s /flaws dont come into it... if it did , it goes across the board..you cant say someoen who spends 200 is doing it for a bit of feel good factor, but someone who is buying one for 20,000 is doing it because they have a flawed charater
As in all walks of life, one lives to ones standards... its that simple..if you can afford it.. and you want it why not buy it.
Does the same theory apply to someone who buys a house for over a million apposed to someone who buys one for 100k.
Imo, spending 1 million pounds on a house will generally get you something far far far more worthwhile than spending 50,000 on a PNP. A better house will generally mean a better standard of living. What will an expensive PNP add to your life?
And I never once said....

I'm not telling anyone what they should or shouldn't do. All I said was what I'd be comfortable doing and why I think others get them. Is that really so bad?

Plus I thought number plates with 'Z' in them were not original British ones?Lionhound - that's one reason I forgot! Do they really go up in value? Is it a risky punt tho? I know the original ones from the DVLA did, not so sure about them now?
