"Gonad" Number Plates to be Sold for Charity

Some time ago, we told you about Dave Cook and his "One Ball Rally" charity project. We are happy to say that Dave and his companions are now safely back in the UK. What is more, Dave has compiled a short video featuring some of the highlights of his journey.

For those of you who haven't heard about the One Ball Rally...

Dave Cook is a 24 year old man who was treated for testicular and stomach cancer in 2007. Dave underwent "9 weeks of Hell, a.k.a chemotherapy". But as he says, "For all its evils, this treatment surely does the trick". Happily, He is now clear of the illness and has regular checks to make sure that is how things stay.

Dave wanted to do something to raise money for the oncology services who helped him during his difficult time, and he came up with the idea of a charity journey through Europe. As part of his treatment had involved the removal of a testicle, Dave thought the concept of the One Ball Rally would be appropriate. He arranged a vehicle, an old London black cab, and decided on a route.

Regtransfers.co.uk donated a number plate to be used on the rally vehicle and Dave thought X60 NAD ("ex-gonad") was an amusing choice. Unfortunately, it turned out that the cab they ended up with was too old to be legally allowed to display that number, so another registration had to be used during the journey. X60 NAD will still contribute though, as Dave says he will sell it to help with the fundraising.

On the subject of the fundraising, it is not too late to contribute to this good cause. If you'd like to boost Dave's total please visit the One Ball Blog at http://oneballrally.blogspot.com/, or go straight to the online donation facility at http://www.justgiving.com/oneballrally.

Private Number Plates: the Finishing Touch!

Regtransfers.co.uk teamed up with the exclusive Segrave Club for a photo shoot the other day. Their fantastic cars donned some of our best private number plates and posed for the camera.

We think you'll agree that these cars simply beg for something a bit more individual than the soulless, random string of numbers and letters of a standard car registration. If you drove one of these babies you'd so want it to be competely unique, wouldn't you? And you hardly buy a car like one of those shown below if you were shy about being noticed, eh?
