How sad is this numberplate?

[Bob]

Riding to work this morning, I noticed the following numberplate on the car in front of me:

0Y 5EXY X

How sad is THAT? I'm sure the money could have been spent on something far more worthwhile on the car (it was some kind of convertible Volkswagen - I only know this as I spotted the badge).

Far more amusing (to my mind) is a plate an Indian/Asian chap who lives somewhere near me has:

5IKH

I suppose the above only works if he is in the car though (he wears a turban)

[wari]

NO-one take this personally ...

BUtt ...

I find all personallised plates abit lame .. a lot lame ... :spudwhat:

ALthough some are cleverr ...

BUtt not worthe the ex-pend-iture if you aks me ..

[bluninja]

Personalised plates aren't as prevalent in the UK as in NZ...and they are normally more expensive. Goddness knows what plaet I'll get when the RSVR is registered....but it won't be RSVR anymore that's for sure.

Personalised plates. 30,000 ways of spelling Wanker.

Only decent one I've seen is QQQQ2

(if it isn't obvious try adding 'Buddy' on the end of it)

[marty]

nup. still don't get it.

[F5 Dave]

how many 'Q's are there?

[jrandom]

One day I will have "5QUID".

Get it?

Best on a small, cheap, crappy bike though.

[Posh Tourer :P]

Very good... although rather pointless to get it on a cruddy bike :S

No, that's the point of the 'five quid' part of the joke.

Getting a personalised plate on an *expensive* bike is wanky.

A piss-take plate on a cruddy bike is the only option that allows me to retain some self-respect.

[vifferman]

In my opinion, personalised plates are a pointless waste of money, unless they're on something a bit special, like a vintage car or something very rare, or on a business vehicle for advertising purposes.

What the hell does this one mean?
DUX 5C
And no, I don't know, but I used to see it frequently and it had me rather perplexed...

There are some I've seen that I liked (but wouldn't have bought them myself), like PUGLET on a Peugeot 205GTi, and ENCWNC (with "SPIDER" underneath, on the plate surround) on a Spider.

I think if you have an easily remembered or eye-catching personalised plate, then you should be very careful how you drive or ride (unlike the HD 1200 Sportster rider I followed last night: 1200S).:nono:

[vifferman]

A piss-take plate on a cruddy bike is the only option that allows me to retain some self-respect.Yeah, maybe. But for the $500 or whatever it costs, is it worth it? I'd rather spend the money on gear or bike parts.

No.

That's why I've never bothered.

Hey, my personalised plate is a statement of my belief in personal freedom, the right to self expression, and joie de vivre. Its my stand against the brutal grinding machinery of govt that allocates us JUST ANY number unless we take control. Its a tiny flag of liberty in the sea of everyday darkness that will engulf us all if we don't stand up and say "I am an Individual and my plate proves it"

Its also a bit of a laugh.

Vote for me for the District Health Board.

whose plate says 0WNED?
was that yours?

[badlieutenant]

Im going to keep my old school black plates.

[Slingshot]

I got a new personalised number plate when my standard plate broke.

From memory it only cost me lie 8 bucks or something.

What do you guys think of this:

50WCC

It's freaking cool!!

You too can get you own $8 personalised number plate.
Just pop down to your local LTSA agent, tell them your existing plate is broken and that you need a new one. Smile nicely at the girl behind the counter and ask if you can choose your own plate out of their box of plates.
Looks like a gem :finger:

[Madmax]

have seen two good ones

2XLR8

INSANE
that one was on a T Bucket
:yes:

[Skyryder]

The only one I want is STLGOOSN, but it has too many letters. Just the plate for a Guzzi.

Skyryder


PS Think I'll change my sig. Got good one.

[Slipstream]

The Trashman, will soon be seen drivin in his Lex-arse V8, with the plates WTRASH ... all was well until a clever wee man, at his work, saw the print out and said "Looks like 'What rash' to me" :killingme :killingme :killingme


I think it is wanky to buy yo'self a plate, but gettin' one can be kinda cool, as long as the plate fits ya.

Did you know that the plate 'DICK' can be made and so can 'ASS' and 'BUTT' but other ways of saying the same things can't. :killingme

Could also be 'white rash'; leprosy. Or 'water ash', although that doesn't make a lot of sense, unless possibly in relation to bongs.


as long as the plate fits ya

Yeah, well, that's all good for the lucky people with flat rectangular places and screw mounting holes on their bodies.

you been hanging around that piercing salon again. :moon: :whistle: :laugh:

[menace]

I have to say from a car point of view, and in the car enthusiaist comunity i think that a liscence is well worth the 300 odd dollar you pay for. (group discount deals there always some around) For a couple resons, if you are building a show car it sets it apart from the rest and it also becomes know AS that... ;)

So yeah i recon they do have a purpose :)

[scumdog]

Im going to keep my old school black plates.

Me too, got three still with black plates, the only personalised plate I have on a car was on it when I bought the car.

btw there is a farm truck here with the plate EIEIO, who can pick the owners surname?

[jrandom]

I miss my Valiant with the black plate, AE2604. Way cooler than some silly $500 a pop wordplay, if you ask me.

[bgd]

If you want a reason for having a personalised plate...

A mate owns 8 (in NZ). He paid a substantial sum for it and several years ago turned down an offer of about 10 times his original outlay.

8 is lucky for Chinese.

Riding to work this morning, I noticed the following numberplate on the car in front of me:

0Y 5EXY X

Can't be, it's got 7 digits.
Lou

[Dodgyiti]

If you cant spell what you want on a PP, because the plate is already gone, then give up ,you missed out, not to worry, its not the end of the world.
I had a PP for years, when they first came out, took a lot of years before I got over what a tosser I was for spending the money [ $250 second hand].
And yes it had the correct spelling :mad:

Can be round Bobs way. The UK have 7 digits, e.g. M432BGX format up till 2001 or thereabouts, it's changed now to a slightly different number & letter format but I can't remember what right now.

[MrMelon]

Nah that's my one.

True - that really annoys me - its supposed to be about personalising etc etc - so why get a plate that looks very similar to something thats already been taken? ie 3s for Es etc

Did anyone say desparate?

I think TS will agree, APXHTR is a good one though

Can anyone get this one? TUKAYL

[riffer]

For all the father ted fans, RSBSKT is still available.

[F5 Dave]

In this increasingly regulated world where non std mufflers are becoming a problem & most any modifications will require certification it will get to the point like in Germany where everything will require TUV certification & it will be illegal to put tires on a car (or bike) if they haven’t been approved for that model.

To be limited to think you are personalising you vehicle because of a limited amount of choices of plate when the rest of it looks like the same box everyone is driving is SAD.

Like Posh sez, people with plates like FAST 5 (unless on an audi perhaps).
-So great, you’re the 6th person to come up with that idea. Neato.

& some of the narcissistic ones are just making people think ‘gee you’re vain buddy’ & there’s some plonker driving some American shitbox with EV1L

Ohhh I’m scared. Pussy. :tugger:

[jrandom]

Black Hummer H2.

Parked in Takapuna yesterday, sprawled over two slots while cages crawled sadly round and round looking for spare parking places.

Heard what I'm sure was that plate being mentioned on ZB yakback a couple of weeks ago, it was on a Monaro or summat.

Anyway the driver of that car needs dragged from the car and shot and his plate rammed up his jacksy going by the comments from people on the show that had seen it driven in a cretinous manner on two or three different occassion, this driver makes cro-magnon seem like Einstien going by his driving style :Offtopic:

To those who think a plate won’t get them more likely to be picked up for speeding or *555 complaints read above.

There’s a turkey in some little shopping cart painted bright yellow & the plate ULIKEIT. Heck makes ME want to stove his doors in & leave a note saying NO I BLOODY WELL DON’T. Cops are human too & you know anything that rarks them up like LWBRKR or 100MPH (you listening Mal?) is going to make the owner a target.

Well personally I think a PP should make you think or match the vehicle like my (non bike) one does. I have no respect for DAVE24 or JOE200 etc. Try mine out


IVXIV

or how about this on a friends car

TI3VOM

Both of these say something
Come on guys think about them and if you know straight away give some others time to guess.

2nd ones easy. Working on the 1st Yup got it.

[scumdog]

Yup got it.

Ist one was easy-peasy, second one? use a mirror :doobey:

And EIEIO?

[MrMelon]

My uncle's got something like IHI1I on his R1. It's hard enough to tell what's what when you're looking straight at it, so I don't like anyone's chances of remembering it if they see him speeding past. Mkaes it ever harder to read since the black mounting bolt is between the I and 1, so it looks like another H.

[AMPS]

My deepest apologies. I forgot about the truly international flavour of the web.

Dave,

Don't need to be so aggressive, be like the state it passes a law and makes everyone more dependant.

I have a PP because I purchased a brand new bike, never been ridden by anyone else, or even started. I figured that spending a little bit more was well worth it. F ZED 1

[Jamezo]

yay, PWN3D is still there, as is JAMEZO

too bad, PMPMBL (somthing I dreamed up ages ago, it was there about a year ago) is now taken.

ASSH4T is there. yeesh, there's probably anything you want, if you are 1337 enough. the more 1337 the population is, the more people are likely to steal your plate, but at least more people will be able to read it. actually, so is ASSHAT. go for it!

so is AZNFAG (lol, any takers?)

so is RIIICE

and GHEY

I can think of so many more...

Ah dad put the dep on the plate, the other day. GURL for my bike.
