Most plates out this way are on those cars which are subject to hire
purchase or finance.
It seems that if ones signs their life away to a morgage an extra $350
is not going to matter.It will just take them to 65 years old insead of
60 years old.

I think that if you are too stupid to rock up and ask for your
desired plate, they should press a button to ask the 'puter
to generate one for you, and charge you a *huge* premium
for their, and the 'puters time.

Everyone should be able, and should choose their own plates

"VITEY" would fit on a number plate.  I wonder if I could have that? There
was a cop hanging around on our country road the other day, and he turned
around behind me and I wondered if he was going to hassle me about having
the wrong rego (but I think he was just monstering the speeders).

Worth checking your state's rego site for availability (that plate is
currently
available in NSW for example). Sadly, as I mentioned, the days of free
personal plates is over (except for those of us that got in early :-)
), so for
NSW at least, that in white bordered will be $30 plus annual $430
reaming.

ANNUAL?!!!!! The buggers. I'm not paying that for a number plate. Plus all
the nonsense to transfer the rego and other stuff. Would have been nice
though. I wish I had thought of it years ago.

Yep too much money,bit like the special interest registration,we have
it in Tassie,
Can register a car or truck however only drive for 50 odd days a year
and only drive for the fun of it,all subject to approval by a
commisioner ofcourse.
Which means if you have an old truck and want to drive it somtimes to
carry another old truck,you are going to be battling to get accepted
for Special Interest.
No personal gain is the rule .
Dumb and a waste of money and fuel if you ask me,for yuppie
types....shows what our population is supposed to be brainwashed into
being.......Happy little yuppies!

Been there at the personal plates scene...too much money or finance,or
in odd cases a sign of a fully accomplished person.....will never see a
fully accomplished well off person driving a holden of any kind
however.....ROFL.

More money than sense. They probably took out a personal loan to buy the
plates. I've seen them on absolute shitboxes. The best/worst? was SEXYFX
on a Hyundai (s?) Coupe FX. The car was purple, and so was the numberplate.

Best I've seen was a rather stock looking Mazda 6, except for spinning
rims all round.  The number plate was just N.

The driver?  A woman in her 60's or 70's.  I guess the N stood for Nanna :-)

Those spinning wheel things are so ridiculous, they just do not look good.

Yep, absolutely f.cking hideous.

Saw a yellow Monaro a few days ago a little ways in front of me with a P
plate on, and the driver appeared to be wearing the customary "tea cosy" on
his head that seems to be norm with new male drivers these days. As it was
moving the wheels looked odd, but when we stopped at a light next to each
other I saw it had those f.cking ridiculous spinning hubcaps, and I pissed
myself laughing.

This kid looked over at me with a grin as wide as a cut throat, and all I
could think was "Mate, if only you realised what an absolute f.cking 
brainless twat you look like"......

I happened to see my first set of these coming home Friday night. They
were GIANT because they were on some 22" (guessing) rimmed w.nk of a
"4WD".

I agree. They look absolutely stupid, and I can't fathom how anyone
would think it looks good or "cool". What, am I supposed to be confused
into thinking "Is that car moving or stationary? Man the owner of that
car is f.cking with my head, oh he's SO got one up on me there, what a
guy!"

Well I've seen a set on an otherwise standard mid 90's Camry, that *must*
have been done as a joke? But why would any sane person buy the "high
quality?!?" spinners(they're bloody expensive) unless they thought that
the wheels actually looked good?

On a Monaro. They should confiscate it from him, he doesn't deserve it.

No way. The guy at Autobarn told him he'd be the coolest guy on the road
with those.  He's saving up for a really fat shiny end to stick on his
exhaust pipe next. That'll make everyone jealous.

Got mine back over 10 years ago and cost one off fee, can't remember
what - $50 or so?.

If I ordered (and got) the same plates today, I believe I would cop a
yearly ream out from RTACo/GovCo

Was it a core promise though?...  You can't trust the bastards
otherwise!  :))

Must be about ten years ago that they wanted to charge me $1,500 to
keep a number that had been in the family for decades (an original
four figure numeric plate).  How long they mighta let me keep it is
something else again.

It's like sex... having to pay for it just wouldn't be the same.

I think it was a couple of years ago they brought in a new yearly
fee structure for new custom plates. Athol and I, and prolly a million
other folk got in before that.

> It's like sex... having to pay for it just wouldn't be the same.

LOL!

I'd certainly get the shites if I had to pay a yearly fee for me
personal plates. Looking at the RTA site, some of those fees
are quite frankly, a huge rip orf ...

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/numberplates/pricelist.html

The "metallic" personalised plus plates would need to contain their
own cell 'phone with free calls, and a cable TV set + subscription,
for that yearly fee?!?!

stickers/advertising and standard issue plates.

LOL. Yep, those be the ones.

In that "ouch" picture I posted in the "Gay Cars" thread, you can see
the front plate has tears at the top from countless occurences of the
plate being torn from the bolts. The front plate used to be the back
plate. Had to swap before there was nowhere left to put a bolt through
:-)
