Hamiliton Spends 200 Grand on Number Plate saying LEW1S

[Titch]

You read right: Lewis Hamilton has splashed out more than £200,000 for the personalised number plate LEW 1S. He will now put the plate on his Mercedes 4×4. He can afford it, but if you want Grid Crasher’s opinion (here it comes, anyway), it’s probably one of the most idiotic ways to waste 200 grand we’ve ever heard of - although doubtless someone with even more money and less sense than Lewis will buy it off him in a few years time.

The exclusive plate was already owned by property tycoon Bob Lewis, who bought it for £50,000 last year and put it on his Mercedes. A friend of Mr Lewis said: “He loved that plate but business is business.”
Yeah, like he didn’t buy it with a view to selling it on to Hamilton. It was another nice little earner for Bob, who recently sold his £1m house in Jesmond to Newcastle Utd star Shola Ameobi.

And time to say - money well spent!

That is like 2% of his earnings for a year? 98% to play with so I agree with the comment above (H)

Won't do anything to him?

If I was rich I would spend £200,000 on the plate JAM 3S

[Alan_Carr]

Fair play to him, i'd to the exact same.

[Hitman]

If he's got the money to then he may aswell, he can still sell it on in a few years for a nice amount of cash.

[Scotteh]

Thats sad lol

[cocaine]

at least he's not spending it on other crap

[e5]

lol, If I had 200 grand to throw about, i'd buy a nice number plate. The thing is though, he's just going to get more press attention, obviously what he wants.

what part of switzerland, i am interested :)!

And also, the number plates over there are like this "initial of state: number", and the next one is "initial of state: number+1" if that makes sense?

For instance, "VS 1"... "VS 2"... "VS 3"... "VS 4"...
