What other car series are out there, that are as good or close to Binky?

It was SA10LLY.

Well after promising to not spend more than £2k, my final bid won it and after all fees I have been relieved of £5678.72. Wife took it well considering it was for her.

Well I have set a reminder to place the bid, so let’s see.

So DVLA are even more of a bunch of money grabbing barstewards, rather than sticking to the essence of an auction where the highest bidder wins when time runs out. If anyone places a bid in the last 30 mins, another 30 mins is added to auction time. It will only end when no one places a bid in last 30 mins. They say it is to give anyone interested the opportunity to counter bid, but I think it is actually known as 'lets leach as much out of the public as humanely possible'. Stinks like those companies that do the auctions where you can bid in 50p increments.

Evening.

The plate I wanted is already at £2153 after all the fees added on. I got outbid and stupidly re bid. So going to wait till end of auction to bid again, but if it goes up much more then I am out.

Is it with the DVLA auction? As that starts tomorrow at 10am and it is open for 10 days before you find out if lucky. If it is with DVLA, never knew they done a timed one.

Or is this just a reflection on what the media are feeding us. Yes, countries are taking very drastic measures to get ahead of it. But more people recover from it than die from it. Still not acceptable though. Interesting site that shows real time data on the virus. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

I think I am am going to need more than luck, as it is a very popular name. However, what I may have on my side is no one (I think) has enquired about it. As for limit, I might set that at £2k and hope for the best. It's Head Office's 40th so trying to do something different rather than the usual stuff.

What was the outcome of this? I only ask as I registered interest with DVLA for another private plate for my wife, I think it might have been end of last year, or in Jan this year (not really sure). Got the email last night that the plate is in their auction starting 16th March. I am thinking that I won't get it as it does spell a name.

Episode 30

Evening. Have you got a Supra or just looking?

I do not think Mawby can, the threads lost or gone for good. I think, although it might be another thread where he states nothing he can do about missing threads, they have been deleted.

Silver all the way, imho the wheel in black look ghastly.

Hope you’re next shites are hedgehogs. I should maybe go and frown behind a tangerine and see if that makes me famous. Admirable intentions, but all she is doing is sprouting rubbish, blaming everyone, and as usual the hairy arm pitted tree huggers fall for it as it is the latest band wagon. A bit like an episode of songs of praise, no decker would attend unless the cameras were there. That little jump start is nothing more now than a political puppet. She is on about saving the planet, but she has a horrendous carbon footprint herself. Double standards and all that.

Ahhhhh FFS, that Greta bint gets everywhere. Can we leave that mental off the forum please.

Site was down (for me) mid afternoon today.

This. Although traders I think would probably offer a lot less than £15k.

As already said, do not sell yourself short as people will take advantage of your inexperience. People will low ball you, give you all excuses then get it and sell it on again for a massive profit, as Peter said watch out for vultures. Pay £10 membership and look through the classifieds and get a rough feel, you might never use the £10 again but will at least guide you. (unless the classifieds are available read only for non members) Run any offer you get on here, you will soon be told if it’s decent or a kick in your balls.

I think I am going to write off GWG as putting the Supra aside, the cars they have done this series were just utter garbage, it is getting silly now Take that new style VW beetle, on what planet was what they done to that car acceptable? Next they will be sticking fish tanks, toasters etc in cars, pimp my ride esq

Assume some issue are back? Or work being done. Search actually does not work...........go figure, all these years of us telling people to search and now it is actually fooked (was searching for the Binky thread, nothing returned but it is there is off topic) Also click on 'New Post's' returns nothing, even though I have replied to threads 30 seconds prior.

I went through the exact same. The 2 companies are basically fishing for custom. Unless the DVLA issues it then they are as stuck as you (so I believe) I wanted a reg plate and contacted DVLA to see if it was issued and got the exact same emails back as you. So I waited for them to put the reg plate up, and it only took 4-5 months for that to happen, they emailed saying what auction it was in and when and how to bid. So now I have my personalised plate thanks to me enquiring like you have done above and the DVLA auction. The auction was live was 7 days and no one else bid on it, so got it for £279 all in.

My mistake.......carry on.
