'M3' Dream Come True

Gavin Smith of Fleetwood Computers in Guildford, Surrey, had been looking at personalised plates for a long while and couldn’t decide whether to buy or not.

He really wanted one with as few numbers and letters as possible. He openly admits: “the only reason I wanted a small plate was because of the ‘flash git’ look - but those come with a price which I couldn’t afford.

“I searched for registrations that resembled my name, but again couldn’t find anything,” said Gavin. “This was partly because I couldn’t use my surname, Smith, and S is newer than the year of my car.”

Months went by and Gavin decided that maybe he should look for something for his company, so he searched for FWC, the acronym used by Fleetwood Computers when watermarking pictures. He eventually found M8 FWC.

Gavin’s dream is to own the E46 verson of an M3 BMW convertible but he said to himself: “What’s the likelihood of getting M3 FWC? Not a chance.” But surprisingly it was available, so he just had to have it.“It was one step closer to owning the M3 and when I do get the M3 it will look great, especially with my company’s initials.”

Within three weeks of ordering the registration he assigned it to his car. He got the new plates made which are are now fitted and says, “They look great on the BMW. It’s just a shame they are not on an M3... yet.”

Gavin very graciously thanked Regtransfers for the “excellent service” he received when purchasing his cherished registration.
