[digger]

nice plate!

I checked ezyreg - where you can design and see what your plate would look like, see if its available and what it would cost etc.. (see below)

In SA that plate is $255 per year + rego!! (same cost if on historic rego!)


Best option is one for $180 once off, but must be letter then number combo of six digits..(eg 1 letter 5 numbers, 2 letters 4 numbers, 3 letters 3 numbers etc etc)
