Happy Birthday Kate Moss
Super model and fashion icon Kate Moss turns 40 today and it's hard to believe that you can be 40 and still be one of the most highly paid and sought after models in the industry. Stereotypically a models career is lucky to last into the mid twenties and with the average age of a model becoming younger and younger Kate Moss is certainly one of a kind. Although the catwalk queen has had her fair share of bad press she seems to have really made a U turn in recent years since her time w

The latest dateless Irish registration to be released is the new series of HRZ registrations, which come from Ballymena in Northern Ireland. What many people in the GB mainland get confused by is that fact that although the Industry refers to them as 'Irish' they are technically Northern Irish registrations and the fact that Northern Ireland is part of the UK means that it can be transferred to the GB mainland. This type of transfer generally takes between two and three weeks from recei

Arizona Driver makes a statement with personalised plate As in the UK, when new license plates are issued in the US, they are assessed to ensure they are not in any way offensive, but unlike in the UK, US license plates have other images and mottos on that are different for each area, and some areas have multiple plates that you can choose from. The wording on these plates isn't taken into account when the characters on the plates are being assessed for profanity or offensive messages. Becaus

Back in December we told you about the historic number plate, CCK1 that has been owned by the city of Preston since the 1930's and was being sold to raise money for city funds. Well we have some further news for you. As we mentioned in our last article on the subject, a reserve was going to be set at £22,000 and it was thought that the bids would easily exceed this. The plate was listed on the popular auction site eBay in December, where it failed to get even one bid! Councillor Mar

READ MORE →DVLA number plates
When you're shopping for a personalised DVLA number there are a few things you should know. Firstly, DVLA registration plates are dated, that means there are characters that represent the year of issue. It is illegal to display a plate that makes your car look newer than it is, so you must bear that in mind when you're shopping for a new plate. You don't have to pick a plate with the exact year of your own cars' registration, you can have an older plate, just not a newer one. If you're keen
