ok, add some U's!

What about the plates?  Would Ecto-2 make sense? or would it be a regular number?



I feel sooooo pedantic even raising that. Rest assured I was thinking of saving you potential hassle!

I Googled Ecto 2 and apparently it was a gyrocopter or something in the Real Ghostbusters cartoon and is a motorcycle in the new movie. No particular number suggests itself for a UK Ecto vehicle but I'd guess Goon's comment makes sense.

Nice, I'd have a set of the Uk decals.
I go to pieces so fast that people get hit by the shrapnel.

Didn't think the UK did vanity plates, but apparently they do, although with limitations:

few different styles but I don't think ECTO-2 would be possible

Something like E3 CTO should be possible I'd have thought?

Would the UK telephone number really be monochrome?  ;)

Now you're just being ridiculous Paul!   lol

To be honest I've no issue with it just saying Ecto 2 or 3 or whatever. After all the reality of a UK number plate being feasible probably isn't a big deal considering it's attached to a vehicle carrying people who catch ghosts for a living!

I think the only limitation for UK plates is the 7 character limit.  So four characters followed by three.

ECTO is easy... the last three digits could be a number or something clever if it comes around to me. 
It could be: ECTO TWO or GHST ONE
