Perfect! hahaha

Carjam has no knowledge of said plate though . . .

[Tigadee]

Sorry, it was 94YAS = gay as

:whistle: Almost bought it too (didn't realise what the plate was warning me of at the time...)

IAMNO1 on a Valiant Ranger, obviously going for I am number one.
I read it as I am no one

ACAVX2 on my neighbours puke bucket falcon. Everytime I see it I think, WANKERS. Best one was on a chemists beemer in Orewa years ago. DRUG5. Got stolen heaps I think.:Punk:

Fooken cool plate! A5LUT.

Happily put it on the bike.:yes:

I had FGT599 on a car a couple of years back...not as bad as that one in the paper, but my brother kindly pointed out that is was short hand for FAGGOT...

A girl I went to school with in 7th form (over a decade ago now...) got a new car, i can't remember the numbers, but it was ANL###. Because a teenage girl isn't going to get a whole lot of stick over a plate that reads anal....:confused: was pretty funny.

Weird plate on a neighbours' car some years back: 4YOICE.

My girlfriend at the time had all manner of weird ideas of what it meant...turns out the guy was an optometrist :facepalm:. Way lamer than our thoughts :blink:

i went to school with a girl like that...

[angelindisguise]

my old ninja had A2BYT so mum automatically assumed it was a personalised plate cuz my name is ange = Angela to bite :blink:

[Hitcher]

The saddest personalised plates are the ones where the original has been taken and people have to resort to some l33t version but think that it's the original. Sad. Truly sad. But I guess that nongs and their $820 are easily parted.

I also disagree with the PP people allowing spaces to be inserted. But then poor old AJ, who has missed out several times over, would have to use a plate that says 11AJ1I, rather than 11 AJ 1I.

The purpose of license plates should be to provide clear and unambiguous identification of vehicles, not to indulge the egotistical whims of their owners.

Didn't want to start a new thread so hi-jacked this pre-existing one instead. Subject is still the Herald's Sideswipe column.

In today's Sideswipe (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sideswipe/news/article.cfm?c_id=702&objectid=10829870) there was this bit


Wallet, check. Phone, check. Dad ...

In Memphis, Dad was left at a rest stop and no one noticed he wasn't in the van until they'd driven 160km. Everyone presumed he was in the back but he was still at the gas station, calling his own phone (which was in the back of the van). Dad finally reached Mum in the van by posting to Facebook. (Source: WMC-TV)

Now there was the case people in NZ got upset where a kid had escaped from a van in Masterton and mum didn't notice until Porirua as she thought the kid was still asleep in the back but this is a full sized adult and not one that climbed out a window.

Still the most disturbing part is making contact via Facebook! Was she updating her status whilst driving "now 100 miles from last stop, wished hubby would answer his Fing phone"

Yeah. I've wondered before if some people think their PP has to have both numbers and letters. Otherwise, why bother with the crappy l33t version of whatever they wanted?

Porsche Boxster?

I've heard of this guy, and from what I've heard the plate fits.

[Asher]

What about paying 70k for a shit plate.

That stupid plate has been on trademe for over a year, when i first saw it on TM it was on for $100,000 starting price. Obviously an idiot trying to make a lazy buck.

Although having said that, I had an asian ex (Yes her ethnicity is necessary to point out lol), her father had a very expensive Mercedes worth a couple hundred thousand. He paid $70,000 for a personalised plate for the car. Apparently asians consider low numbers good luck and for some reason the letter "H" as well.

Any guesses as to what a $70,000 plate looks like?

"1H"

:facepalm:

Best I could think of when I saw it was when you see him in the rear-view he was saying HI.
