So, I was going to ask the question in a thread of its own, inviting the knowledgeable and jobsworths...... nothing wrong with them, one just needs to choose the level of risk you are prepared to take on.

In the ongoing dilemma of spending £300.00 of my hard earned, and safely stashed English pounds, which are about $420.00 of those American Dollars we love to spend on our toys.....

I may have come to the crossroads of spending, having to decide if spending the cash on a vanity style personal plate as shown below is worth it, or does one stash the cash.

Another question for the Legal, MOT and Police types on here, is whether firstly, an American style plate as shown below, is permissible on an IMPORTED TRUCK which this is, with space for an American,license plate.

OR

Does one stick to the English style, as fitted at this moment, with a slight edit on the top line of two, so it reads S10 0 and TRK on the lower line.

As my one mate suggested, as long as the Dartford tunnel ANPR cameras, and police patrol car mounted ANPR cameras can read and interpret it, surely, the fact you,are in a bad mood and did not get laid for a week, should not really come into the argument

I have sent an email to States-Plates whom @pauly recommends to see if they would be prepared to space the second 0 a 1/2 space from the first one and the T which would optically allow you to read it as S10 0 TRK as shown.

All such silly, vain stuff, but hey...... it beats betting on horses, and crack cocaine and $5.00 hookers.

Or does it?
