I am wrestling with the idea of getting one. Half of me thinks I want one, the other half thinks they are just for wankers. Help!!

I don't like them.

I was offered one for my 21st from my parents (either that or £500) - I took the money!!

Personalised number plates are for tasteless, noveau riche, pikey just won the lottery, no imagination to spend it on anything else, show off, sovereign ring wearing, golf playing, rags to riches, pink V-neck owning, buying ponies for your daughter, cut glass collecting, slip on shoe wearing, Old Spice splashing, Gold tap admiring, Fucksacks.

Wankers who drive BMW's and Jaguars get personalised number plates.

Don't do it, for the love of god.

You have my sympathy.

It was bought for me as a present. At the time it was not sometging I would have considered buying, but now really like it.

And I really don't care if that makes me a knob (which is what I used to think of people with personalised plates)

The real problem with a personalised number plate is that it makes you stand out, especially to the Police. The plain fact is that most people don't like them because they're jealous that they can't afford one. However the fact that you have doubts says you shouldn't waste your money. I wouldn't bother myself.

I used to think they were quite cool when only rich people could afford them, now you can get them pretty cheap and you see them on all sorts of chavved up cars.


*waits for Simster to pipe up about his personalised plate*

At the end of the day its a material item that makes the owner feel they are a little bit special...if its a number plate that makes you feel good get one.

Also depends what you are putting it on, a DB9 quality, a Mondeo errr no.

I have one, but it just a personal think, it just happen to be on a old pre suffix letters age bike i was restoring and was relevant to me so i transferred it onto my car.

But would buy a better one if money was not an issue, you have to bear in mind those that buy the posh ones the cost of it is just the difference in the bank balance.

Some people like them some don't and other don't even notice them, those that do notice them and comment on them or criticise them i believe just wish they did have one, or else they would not notice them in the first place.

2 out of 15 (used to be 3 but the pink v-neck went in the 90's)... it's a BHA plate and it was a present.
