What a load of crap :(

I personally don't see anything wrong with having the odd swear word on number plates. But we don't want to offend anyone over the age of 70 who might gasp in shock horror and then regail the grandkids with stories of "evil drivers with bad number plates".

Substitute the O's for 0's

M0F0C0

Though it still looks the same, they may see it different?

Last year i concidered 67 FKD - GT-FKD - GET F*C*D, They approved them, but decided thats too much attnetion for me

You have to imagine here in qld its either 400 3 letter and 2 number combos, or 2200 for anything you want - so us kids, we get creative with our plates!

They have already thought of that.. The list of banned plates is huge.. even plates that when seen in a mirror spell something that is on the banned list is banned!

Can I hijack your thread by asking some suggestions about plates for my car?

Same deal as MOFOC0 we can have up to 5 letters but it must end in a number, I want a themed plate, I have a white XT BA lowered on big black dished 18's with tinted windows. ie the car has no colour at all, only white and black.

So whats white/black/tough and quick? (no its not a joke... there is no punch line.)

it could be a 5 letter word with a zero for the hell of it.

Any ideas, like "zebra" only tougher and quicker

the other thing with SA pers. plates is they put the SA logo between the last letter and the first number.. so MOFOC0 would have read MOFOC.0 :(

http://www.brodix.com/BF Series.html
as for calling you a MOFO, it was showing you why the plate was banned.
as the letter from TransportSA said "on careful examination of the combination you have requested, I have decided to decline your application on the basis that it may be misconstrued as an offensive word".
Not because its FOMOCO mispelt. or because Ford said to all the licensing departments "don't let anyone put that on their plates damnit"

I think you have forgotten that what you write on these forums, usually stays on these forums. you should make records of what you type on here, so you can keep track of the stories.

You don't honestly sit there and wonder why some of us don't take you seriously do you??

If you'd replied to my post in a slightly more civilised manner, I wouldn't have posted this...I suggest you also browse ebay for 'sense of humour'.

aaaannyyyways, back to the topic at hand:

Dan (theboss290), INIAL8 is available

Doc, I had the plates in NZ PHLTHY

over there personalised plates are $400 one off payment (well they were 10yrs ago lol) and thats ANY 6 digit combo.

keep the ideas coming :

They're still there Brett, but they're gold letters on a black plate (too fully *** for my liking), and I don't want to pay the yearly fees that come with them.
Pity, they're cool plates (VIOLENT)

in SA its $172 once off iirc (thats 6 characters total, letters followed by numbers, at least 1 letter or number)

for anything fancier than that its a yearly fee of almost $200 i think.
