Absolutely right. Failure to edit. What I meant to saw was "fex, the plural of which is feces."

Was it a 12 cylinder jaguar? Slick Dozen?
Back in Louisville, I recall someone with a Jag that said "ASKGOD". Not many people had them in Louisville ten years ago - at least not in my neighborhood (jags or vanity plates). They're all over the place in northern va. One I've seen around here is "CGDINME." Seems a lot are religious.
A guy I used to work with had the plate "HUMMMM" (he used to be in a barbershop quartet). Another fellow is VAXWZD or something like that. Yet another co-worker is DRBOBS (play on the hacker magazine doctor dobbs).
I've seen one on the road that says "INTEL" but I don't know if that refers to a chipmaker or the gathering of information.
A fellow once told me of a cool one that you had to see in your rearview mirror to appreciate: 3M TA3

Rapunzel says: we saw a vanity plate which read SLK DZN and couldn't figure out what it might mean.Was it on a sports car? Maybe SLK DZN means Sleek Design!

In addition to vanity plates, some yachtclub nouveau riche used to put small naval signal flags on convertible driver's doors to boast they had a yacht. They didn't bother to find out what the flags meant, until one young lady had a visiting naval officer inform her that her three little flags meant "Permission granted to lay alongside."

owed much to its impeccable delivery by the late and much-lamented Sir Nigel Hawthorne.
I got a pleasant chuckle out of reading your delivery just now.

Max - just wondering if you meant that Derek Fowlds has joined Paul Eddington and Sir Nigel in the hereafter???
As far as I was aware Derek is still alive and well, appearing in the BBC series "Heartbeat.
