I now have the number plate bug, so when the “55” plates were released, I looked for a nameplate for my partner. In June 2005, even before the “55” plate cars were out on the road,

I purchased MM55 HEL at a reasonable price having previously looked for a Michelle plate but finding nothing available that I considered to be any good. I am, for the time being, holding this on a retention certificate, as we don’t have a vehicle new enough to put it on.

My most recent purchase was in November 2005 when I acquired P333 TAR (Peter) for my dad. This is his surprise 60th birthday present in June 2006, although he already has A9 OPT which doesn’t really mean anything apart from the PT part, although we have always taken the Mickey out of him, saying it means Old Peter Turner. I’m sure he will love his new number plate because he has always wanted to improve on his one for quite some time and I thought this was a nice way of saying a big thank you for all he has done for me. I am confident the A9 OPT won’t go to waste, as that will probably be transferred to my brother’s car. His name is Philip Turner, at the moment he’s not interested in personal plates but I’m working on him and it will be a starting point.

About three years ago my dad bought my step mum M5 KLT, (Ms Kirsty Lorraine Turner), so it really is becoming a family affair. I’m the most fanatical one by far and I’m tempted to buy T3 RNA (Turner). It’s available, but I can’t quite justify paying the asking price at the moment, firstly, because it would end up being on retention and secondly I’m being made redundant this year.
But who knows, with that redundancy money burning another hole in my pocket, I might just treat myself one more time!
