Won't let you get this one

That's an interesting one, because PEN15 will come up as a normal car plate eventually. What will they do about that one?

Back when I worked at motor reg, and the three-letter-1-to-3-digit plate series was coming up for manufacturing, a memo went 'round listing what wasn't going to be allowed. It was a list of all the three letter combinations they wouldn't print. "God" etc.

I don't recall them thinking that far ahead...

something for the ladies B00BYS is available

If you narrow the spacing of the L and I on CLINTY you get something rather rude

The business argument doesn't stack up. Sign writing far better value.

Private plates just say "I've got too much money and not enough imagination to do something better with $900"

Stacks up very well thanks.
My wife has a plate on her car but no sign writing and she's drawn in many sales as a direct result.
She changes her car every 2-3 years on average and she's had that plate for 15 years.
It also didn't cost no $900.

Yep, we did the same thing, for the same reason, and we did it fifteen years ago too. More than paid for itself due to the awareness it raised and the sales it generated. No regrets.

I have a personalised plate on my bike as well, but i didn't pay $900 for that either. When i purchased the bike in boxes eight years ago. the plate was included in the deal. It was a bit mangled, but I ordered a replacement through the Remake 0800 phone number, and it was only about $20 from memory.

I agree that personal plates are too expensive and far too many are, shall we say, far too subtle for most people to know what they mean, some, too, are plain dumb! I'd never spend that much money on a plate if not for business, unless I was super rich and had a specific type of car that could wear a unique and clever plate.

As a business, it is a business expense and the GST is claimed back of course. I discounted magnetic signage as it can scratch the paint if one is not very careful and can be removed by unscrupulous types. Vinyl signwriting has its place, but I wanted subtlety and a plate is very clear and easily seen esp in traffic. Message plates keep the car tidy and stand out like the proverbial. Of course, if I change my vehicle it is far cheaper to transfer as well.

Hey when you've got a car as classy as mine, you want to keep it looking smick!

I applied for 24NAK8 but was told I could not have it as it was to close to "NAKED"...?
I didnt get it..

Oh you naughty 4nak8r! Just goes to show that it might all depend where your mind is... If the closest they could come up with was NAK being close to "naked" then one wonders just who does the vetting

[Her_C4]

You may get two but can only use one on a bike.

not for much longer!

Fans of Fred Gassit cartoons might very well find my plate offensive.
Those who have seen it know what I'm talking about.

Hahahaha, my furry Pussy friend. Understanding the context is important to "translating" your plate.

Oh dear....

Seriously - you couldnt make that shit up....

[Maha]

Really?
Would you have me beleive that it will be a one plate order and the possibility of a cheaper plate?

Or does she mean a 2nd plate on a bike will be made mandatory - to be mounted/read from the front (by speed cameras?).


(In other news, I got a P.P. for my bike this year, and they only sent one.)

Yet you payed the full price for two.
I will never see the logic in that...
If you payed for a set of new tyres, would you expect to get two new tyres?
