Porsche without a personalised number plate?
It just looked wrong!
I stopped to fill up at a local petrol station, when a Porsche Cayman pulled up alongside. It was the distinctive colour that first caught my eye – certainly not for the timid amongst us!
The strong metallic colour was an olive green, with PORSCHE imprinted in large black lettering down sides (in case you have any doubts about what you were looking at!).
I was busy figuring out whether or not I liked the colour, when I noticed the registration number – something I do with most cars to be honest. But especially if it’s a particularly distinctive car like this one. It was an 11 series number plate, so clearly a very new car. But I was expecting a personalised number plate.
To me, such a distinctive Porsche with an ‘in your face’ colour needs a personalised number plate to finish it off. Now, I know that’s probably a biased view – after all, I’m involved with personalised registration numbers every day. And I’m ‘tuned in’ to them. But to me the car just looked ‘wrong’.
I had a chat with the owner, whilst queueing to pay for my fuel.
“You know what’s missing on that Porsche…” I said. “A personalised number plate”.
“Ah yes” was the reply. “I have a few. I’m letting the world know this is a new Porsche before I change the registration number. I still have a few weeks left. It’s a great toy, though” he told me… with a grin on his face. I’ll go along with that.
Well it made sense.
But nice to know the owner plans on put the last touch on it when the time is right.
