Looks like the Mini seems to be the most popular and Im well impressed by those who can remember their Number plates for the cars they've owned.
Since my 9-5 is so bloody dull im going to stick the lists in a spreadsheet and do a count up though. I only noticed one tipper truck in the
reply's!!!!

Nothing terribly exotic so far - Except the Davrian I suppose  -
