Personal numberplates

Personalised number plates allow everyone who knows you to track you wherever you go... I knew a rep who drove one of only 3 bright orange Audis in the UK... his life wasn't his own as everybody knew who he was including the Police!

back in the late 80s a friend got a MUFF-DIVR personalized plate. He only kept it a year because of the constant reaction of other drivers blowing their horns and making comments (favorable) about it. I was surprised he was able to get it to start with. I don't have one but they are only about $30 extra a year here.

when we changed our car a few weeks ago we transferred the registration from the old car to the new one purely because it had our initials !

@biggs682 Is that easy to do? Is it very expensive to do?

My current car has a very short version of my first name and then my initials, and I would like to keep that plate, if and when, I buy another car.

I am waiting to see a plate with either 'UR GAY' or '1M GAY' written on it....

Would they allow that even?

Thank you

A link to the right department would be very helpful. I assume your p.a. is not back at work until Tuesday.

There is no rush for this. I will probably not change my car until autumn at the earliest.

[QUOTE 2472499, member: 259"]Seriously, why? I couldn't care less if anyone knows how old my car is*, what's the problem?

*Nearly seven. [/quote]

I accept I should have a number plate for identification but that plate has no need to be date related, so why am I made to have one? Simply because the date system was put in for the car industry not the public.

I don't mind if people know my car's age, the objection is being made to display that age.

I am not the type that would buy a newer car simply as the present one had an old reg (My car is 13 years old on a W reg) but why am I made to advertise it as being an old car where others may judge me?

Rant over

Its easier and cheaper just to get a henna tattoo get a cool hair cut leather jacket and admit your having a mid life crisis.

That obvious is it?
