Personalised numbers plates - why?

[Driver]

I've never been tempted to have personalised number plates on my car. Plenty of people do, however and it occurs to me to wonder why.

Understand - I don't have any strong feelings either way but I'm interested in what the attraction is. Do you have your name or your footy club on your rego plate?

For me - Why waste the money.......

[echnidna]

They oughta be triple the price,
let the twits with too much money pay more & keep costs down for the rest of us

Having said that, only wankers have them

G'day,

(careful Al's in here and he's got a personalised plate :shh

It's those with Toorak Tractors that have the 3 digit number plates that I'd laugh if they got stolen, but that's my twisted view

I have custom plates for my SS Impala.....LOFREQ......its too cool for school.

I don't care what people think either way, nor should anyone else.

I have no problem in having personalised plates, I earn the money, I spend it how I want.
Next youse lot will be telling me what sort of house to buy, "you cant have that sort of house because I cant have one too".

Or you cant drive such and such sort of vehicle because I cant drive one too.

I have one also but I was lucky as it is a standard plate that happened to be coming up in the normal sequence a couple of years ago so I grabbed it.

My brother discovered a few years ago that it only cost $11.00 to change his name by deed poll, so he saved $300 on his personal plates, by changing his name to:

NKA 734

I guess he'll have to change it again when he changes cars.

NKA - that wouldn't be short for Nakalaka, would it?

When I first reg'd my '45 Harley, some 20 odd years ago, the plates I was given came up POS 45. Never a truer omen has been given. It's a '45 and, to some poeple's eye, a POS. Pity I lost those plates a couple of years ago, when I had to let the rego lapse.

But she's my faithful POS and when she's back on the road I will be asking about getting those plates back...

Was given mine for my 21st birthday pressy 26 years ago.

Been remade twice.
