The Anonymous Widower

An Unusual Car Number Plate

I was in Cambridge yesterday and I saw one of the world’s worst cars, a Bentley something, with the number plate HAS 2 NOB.  It is in fact HA5, but then the banker who owned it had made the plate illegal with unapproved spacing.

The main reason I call the Bentley one of the world’s worst cars, is that it only does about seventeen miles to the gallon.  For lots of reasons, such as climate change and saving fossil fuels for future generations, cars that cannot do more than forty miles to the gallon should not be manufactured.

Now if you think this is jealousy, you couldn’t be further from the truth.  If I wanted a Bentley, I could definitely afford one, but I certainly wouldn’t be seen dead in one!

I’ll stick to my Lotus, which incidentally weighs only forty percent of the Bentley.  Just as in people, being obese is not a good thing.

I think it would be interesting to see how which car to lap Nurburgring fastest in the hands of the owner.
