I was out cruising friday night it was about 5:30 and i noticed that there was a heap of cars here with Personalised Numberplates Not just on the lappers cars but on family cars . Now there is only about 25,000 - 30,000 ppl in this town and it looks like the ratio from personal plates to standard plates it high.
. . . Whats It Like Where Your From . . .

Warrnambool is such a beautiful place. I’m usually down there about once a week, as for the number plate thing, it’s probably the demographic of people there. A lot of people who want something different.
Do you know of Davway, I think he’s from down that way? Cheers, Danny

What are some of the costs involved in getting personalised plates? I'm thinking I may get some, but I don't want to burn too much money on something that is purely asthetic.
I live in the Hornsby area, and there are a few personalised plates getting around but not many. As Full Noise said, it could be dependant on the demographic of the area which determines the ratio of personalised plates to standard issue plates. Hornsby is just plain old middle-class suburbia, and most of the people are fairly conservative, which might explain it.

You can also order them online. I have custom plates. They call them "Personalised Plus" now, Slimline black on white, and they cost me $400 a year PLUS rego.

I have custom plates. They're the coloured letter letter number number letter letter combo. Cost $110 or so + rego each year.
There's several my way but its usually the Fast and The Furious crowd that have them. Quote:

Not exactly personalized plates, but on the jag I have PUR-009. Mates want me to get SHAGUR hehe.
"TURBRO" is probably the one I've laughed the most at. But obviously huge ammounts of (mostly crap) personalized plates around sydney.

A guy I know from work has "DESCENT" (NT plate) and just got his GF "XESLARO" (read it backwards) She doesn't understand it, which is probably a good thing.

I have a set of plates stashed away, they look standard issue. The plates going on the XD will be future issue as well. It's way cheaper that way.

We have 5 cars all with personalised plates. There is alot of these plates in our area, on all makes of cars.
I would have to say that the ratio of newer fords is higher than Holdens |

Gambits fiancee recently got 'MI55 XR' in purple on her Phantom XR. They look great, but alot of people ask her 'what the??'. So I know where your coming from Krissy, with dills not knowing what your plates mean.
We have the same problem with '1XR 330'...like how hard is it??? : |
