Personalised plate pricing?!?!!?!?!?

[Bartman]

You don't get a refund if the ltsa (or whatever they're called now) say you can't use it?
I'd Argue that under the consumer garantees act, the product must be fit for purpose. The actually say in their (gay as fuck) ads that they last forever.
I did hear that "50killa" was recalled, and was "187 50".

I used to txt my ideas in for shits and giggles, and some I got a reply saying, "sorry that plate is forbidden" or some shit like that. However, some I tried that were properly offensive, didn't carry that reply, and were suposedly still available.
Somehow I think "DIEJEW" and "GASJWS" And "ZYKLNB" Would never be made if you were stupid enough to order them.

I'd quite like "DSTRYU" or "OWNYOU" which were still available last time I looked.

But black plates are much cooler.

original black plates for the win. if i got a personalized plate it would be going on a car with a white plate, it would be silly to remove the black plate.

Black plates are better, you cant get personalised plates done black and its illegal to paint them black. I still see a few cars around with painted plates and have done for many years.

I have a black plate off a long dead 1200sss, if I was to purchase plates I'd be looking for that #, surely you'd get away with that? - running the Black one

^ This is new and an awesome/interesting development that you miiiiiiiiiight be able to utilise if you're clever.

That's handy.
My dad has a VF Valiant convertable with dead plates that are black.

Awesome thanx for that info. Finally common sense in legislation.

[Flauski]

Thats awesome news for some people! I dont have the plates from when the rego lapsed on my C110 and it was re regd. Wish I did, then I might have been able to use them. Although in reading that again it suggests it will only work for people whos rego have lapsed and no attempt has been made to get car back on road.

I guess I will have to stick to my shit white ones with no meaning cause Im not paying $839 for one that says something pretty.

Yeh the prices are crazy!
If i was ever rolling in the money i would get NOA12 for my wagon

Last time I checked, HITLER was unavailable (but not forbidden), someone had ZYKLON until some dick complained about it, can't see what's so bad about a word that just means cyclone in German, there was a big media stink last year I think about a woman with ARYAN1. A couple that run a car restoration outfit in Wellington had some big yank tank painted up like an old US police car with USAPIG that got pulled. They weren't happy!
