everyone calls me Willo and my first name is Matt so thats where the MWI10 comes from.

Cheers

I trust no one will steal my plate ideas D: -__-

Fail lol

XCwillo · 31-10-2010, 05:32 PM

I got a phone call in the middle of making the poll hah they're up now

XB GS 351 Coupe · 31-10-2010, 05:40 PM

I am assuming it's for the XC?

XC-250

XC-006

XC-041

XC-077

XC-1977

Some or all of the above may not be available anyway, but you get the point.

The others don't seem to mean much sorry, they just look like standard issue plates same as every other car, if you need to attach a translation to the plate
no one on the road will get it either.

I have XB-0740 on my '74 XB Falcon.

**Revolver** · 31-10-2010, 05:37 PM

What about 433YHO???

Look at it in the mirror.

XCwillo · 31-10-2010, 05:43 PM

Having only 2 letters means it will have to be a prestige plate
which cost 2000! :|
I can only afford the $400-$500 normal ones which require 3 letters hah :(
QLD's way of doing number plates :(

XB GS 351 Coupe · 31-10-2010, 05:47 PM

Ok, must be different to NSW......same rate here for two letter and three numbers or two letters and four numbers.

Go for THE-77 then for sure, as it means something to your car.

IXC-06

IXC-77

Some more options, I am not sure on Queensland number plate configurations, but again you get the idea.

XRATE-UTERUS · 31-10-2010, 05:55 PM

what about OMG-WTF

**Revolver** · 31-10-2010, 05:57 PM

Yeah THE 77.... Just gives it a bit of aggresiveness.....

I thought that one would have been taken, up, hang on, I just bought it!

Had ya.....

XCwillo · 31-10-2010, 06:05 PM

Genuinely LOL'ing at the moment!

Honestly. The 77 is a damn good choice. It has meaning to your car. A bit aggressive as I said. Its "THE 77" thank you. & You have mentioned on other threads that you may sell the car. In that case your plat is fix able to any 77 year model car, whether it be Ford, ***den, Valiant, Chrysler, or <insert make here>. That is a good idea for an investment should you sell the car & have no more use for the plate....

CODSASR · 31-10-2010, 06:19 PM

what about

pnsher- punisher since its the name of your ute

Because that combo is considered a "prestige plate" at $2395 or there abouts. It has to be a 3 letter/3 number or 3 number/3 letter combo, or 2 numbers/3 letters or 3 letters/2 numbers. anything other than that up here in QLD needs a prestige plate....

Holy crap, highway robbery at its finest!!!

Why would they even consider making it an option for people and then rob them blind for it?

Indeed! Glad I live in Vic where rego (and personalised plates) are cheap. Then again we get our eyes gouged out by dodgy speed cameras

Personally I think "THE 77" is awesome! Nice ride btw

04redxr8 · 01-11-2010, 12:17 AM

077XCO, 77XCO 77XCI are also avaliable.

3 letters and 3 numbers are the same price.

Good luck.

*insert sweet secretary PR voice* "Because all the proceeds made from each plate goes towards road safety in QLD".

And I have to say it's being invested well, look at the Bruce highway, & Warrego highway. All the potholes are always repaired quickly, effectively, and never have a problem with those again. The truck tracks/ridges are w
Always repaired & when the road needs resurfacing it's done properly, efficiently, & as soon as it's needed.

So it's well used, roads are safe, all the work is done. Pigs fed, watered, & ready to fly....

Not sure about SA Riksta, but here in QLD after you pay the excorbitant one off fee for the plate, there are no annual fees for displaying them.

Still, in SA I could get "THE 77" that he's talking about as a custom plate, $200/yr. I could have the thing for 10 years before I've paid what for what a Qld resident would need to - now I dunno about everyone else, but I doubt I'll ever keep a car for 10 years before selling it!

flappist · 31-10-2010, 06:28 PM

How about you save the $500 and spend it on making your XC just slightly less likely to fall apart when you drive it.

You seem to have far more than your fair share if "events".

Go for Willo. It's your nickname, so it's probably te most personalised you can get

74_XB_Ute · 31-10-2010, 09:00 PM

How about 077-EXC
And its available too on PPQ
so when you read it it will be 77 EX-C since its a 1977 XC

Ben73 · 31-10-2010, 09:34 PM

I would like a 1 letter or 1 number, plate. I'd be willing to pay for one. Although I'm sure if someone was selling one they will be charging more then I could afford

302 XC · 31-10-2010, 09:38 PM

Sit on the PPQ site for a while willo
I came up with 302 OXC and whopps it was avaliable (not any more)
Youll be surprised whats still avaliable
My combo $415 and mine for life

Crazy Dazz · 02-11-2010, 04:32 PM

Clearly the plate rules and costs vary from state to state, but if that’s all you can afford in Qld, I seriously wouldn’t bother.

On the other hand, if one of those combos means something to YOU, and makes YOU enjoy the car just that little bit more, then go for it.
Just be prepared to keep explaining it to people, and putting up with their blank look and forced smile when you do.
