Custom Number Plates "AFK" ("Away From Keyboard" a kind of tongue in cheek joke at my own lifestyle). Suits any Nerd, Geek or plain jane/joe with no life and addiction to the web and a twisted sense of humor. Polycarbonate, black with white text. for sale $400 ONO
ahhaah funny sheet!
i already know there was a thread about licence plates, but this is about the ones being stupidly expensive, but i just found this description funny!

number one would be worth heaps they are the only ones with true value though all these other ones like geoffrey etc for 25k is bullshit, i saw IBM advertised for 2.5 million. My uncle collects early edition plates he has a few one on everything he owns which is quite a few cars earliest is number 80. In SA thats worth about 25K if it were NSW it would be near 100K. He has had the plates for a long time though.

Man, Vicroads charge $28 for standard plates, $400 for custom.
Do you know how much beer $370 buys ? ! ? !
for the not-so-good-at-maths, that's 10 slabs.
I know which I'd rather take home with me . . .

Whats the go with NSW RTA charging minimum $130 for any new plate that you order, if you choos ethe letter and number combo.
I was thinking of getting LAZ14A for me hachi but $130 per year is just revenue raising bullshit.

I just went and ordered some last week. The ones on my RA28 were DAZ-18T. The previous owner's name is Darren.
I got the slimline white plates with a combination of letters and numbers more befitting my size and age.
Cheers, Greg.

Think I mentioned somewhere here before that's the first custom plate I ever saw. Would be around 20 years old now. First saw it on a red 3 series BMW in the late 80's. I even remember the street I saw it in.
Among the dumbest I seen from memory is 'YNVME4'

at the end of the day it is personal choice sometimes personal plates top off the car esp when your building a nice show car. I could never sell my personal plates and even if i did i would still been known as FLYNSX.

It definitely becomes an identity thing. When it's used in that context, there's nothing wrong with it.
Using plates to make a statement/s though, is entering tossbag territory

see, yes i pay $240 a year to have my plates 'SILYCAR' but the thing is, my car goes into shows and everyone in adelaide knows the car.....
its good when your friends with cops.... if they see your car they know that your the only one who should be driving it,so if it ever gets stolen or shit they will get pulled over automatically!!!
also good coz you can mention your car and everyone knows you... and good for friends to mention at different places - then they get discount.. friends of friends prices!!
bad coz EVERYONE knows you and you cant do anything without the rest of the state finding out.....
wouldnt change my plates unless i sold the car

As silycar stated the good thing about custom plates is will be well known around especially in the car scene but the downfall to that iz u cant do n e fing without the whole state knowing about it!
either way itz the car owners choice, the plates making a statement can be pretty ghey sumtimes but if its used as an identity thing i dont c any harm in it!!! shame the rta iz making a killing off us!
I have a set of plates on hold in sydney $400 for the year plus $10 holding fee n I think theres more on that 2 for the first year???

Ages ago I was playing around on the RTA site and saw DRIFTR was available....then about 6 months later saw it for sale inthe Sydney Morning Herald for $10,000....man i'm still kicking myself.
Also IJZ25T for my Soarer was available for ages and I messed about too long thinking about it and now it's gone.
