As I've previously said, I'm buying your plates.

Either that or stealing them. Especially once I get my R

Back on topic though: I have 090-OVW. Pretty obvious (PM me if you don't get it

). I used to have my name but everyone knew who/where I was. One time my best friend got a text message "Who's the old guy driving Alex's car?". It was my dad (not that I need personalised plates to have my car recognised

).

NSW is Ucking stupid.. rta wanted $200 initially then $440 PER YEAR to retain it.
I'm more than happy to pay $4-500 for a one of fee, then keep paying rego as it is... but seriously? WTF..

Hahahahahaha...What a joke...IMHO the ugliest car Porsche has produced!! "SUCESS" would be more appropriate on a GT2 or GT3 RS!!

I prefer plates that are totally anonymous and hard to remember. One day it may just save me from getting caught for doing something I shouldn't have (not that I would ever doing anything illegal

)

If your plate is really easy to recognise and remember you are making it easier for a member of the general public to dob you in if they don't like what you are doing, and as others have observed, your friends and rellies can keep track of you (well your car) too much.

What would really suck is paying heaps of money for a plate you really liked, then some low life steals your plates and you then have to hand them back in and get some new ones (in some/most states you're not allowed to keep plates after they have been stolen, as it creates too much trouble for the police having two sets of the same plates floating around, with one set in the hands of criminals).

not VW related, but here's my GTP.

I'm stunned at some of the prices quoted.

This one is a one-off cost of around $450 in WA

looks like QLD is most expensive then. RAPID GTP is a $2300 here!!!....

I have OWD11E on the Audi Wagon. Bought an audi with a days rego and the plates years ago and have been swopping them between cars ever since. It predates the system, so no fees for me
