    I reckon they are outta their minds - it appears that nowadays P Plates are only for those with more money than a bull can sh*t
    Nah, just more money than sense...

    Perhaps, but it's worth noting that those plates listed haven't sold yet. Maybe the market has spoken.

    This is a real custom plate in Victoria.

    Try explaining what this one means to your mum.

    Now *that* is classy! Any i.net-literate following you would be more than likely to observe the 4 second rule I suspect
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    My wife and I have personalised on both our cages and they were about $400 each back in 97. How do they justify over $700 now?

    It's the laws of supply and demand. To see the future go to the UK where they can cost tens of thousands of pounds.

    I got mine for less than $500 for my car when I first moved to NZ. Then transferred the personal plate to my bike in 2006. I still have the car plates if I want to put them back on a car at a later date though.

    Check it out below:

    What's the value in having a plate like that when, for a few hundred dollars, some loser can register V8K1W1?
