I periodically contemplate this and have the following observations to share:

Be careful - very very careful. There is a fine line between choosing a clever combination and looking like a w*nker or making yourself a target on the roads.

Don't use your name and birth year - a likely scenario if you just got cut off by a bloke in a Patrol...
"look, theres BOB born in 1965 which makes him 41 years old - hi BOB... you d*ckhead, grow up!"

Don't use anything like "STUD" or "IAMGR8" or any kind of word to blow your own trumpet - your car WILL get key-ed.

Don't use anything too arrogant or antangonistic like "H82WAIT" or "IH8U" - this just gets some people annoyed.

You can try to use something relevant to the vehicle, but then why not just get a Dymo labeller if you feel you have to label everything.

You could try something a bit philosophical and zen but this might also be construed as w*nker-ish.

The guys on Top Gear have no love for personalised plates whatsoever - but in the UK they don't have the choice of combinations or colours we do. Consequently they end up with people trying desperately to make words out of stupid combinations - like B347LES for "Beatles" etc.

Or you could just realise that a number plate is just a number plate and let the fact you drive a Landrover express your intelligence and individuality on its own.

paranoia inc.

:P

get what you like, let the clowns think and say what they like....

Yeah Egg zactly

Stuff 'em....

And you dont think AZZKIKR doesnt invite all sorts of reactions!
When it was on my road car there wasnt an bloke under 25 that didnt want to have a go

My neighbours Patrol is registered as TRAKTA

Friends 80 series (fire engine red) is PYRO

Friends of my sister drive a WRX registered as PIG ETA

Some are clever some are tacky, some pretentious....

I think its clever what some come up with.... And if they have the $$$ why not!

cheers

So who else has got them, and what have you got? Anyone else got any advise on how many numbers/letters you can display on the plates in SA? Also what the annual costs are if any?

Thanks in Advance,

We have READ on our 90. Mainly because it is my name

But that is in Queensland

Ive got LANDYANDY.

i want OFISHN on mine

It all depends on the cost. This per annum stuff is complete rubbish. It should be a one off fee only, regardless of lettering etc. We have MELON on ours as it is my wifes nicname. Only a one off cost in WA in lots of colour combos.
