Default Personal Number Plates...

Opinions - cool or crap?!

I've seen one that I find amusing - but I will openly admit that other peoples opinions matter to me!

So - what you all say?

Bit of harmless amusement - or terribly naff?

Don't the yanks call them Vanity plates which is rather suiting.

Well the one I've seen isn't my name - but it is extermely childish! Which does kinda appeal to me because its something else for the socialist "elite" to sneer at when they see my car

I dont really care! People seem to have extreme opinions on them being for shallow, vain and insecure people but it really doesnt matter.

I have one and have had it for years. The only negative comments I have had about it were from people that,I would say, were jealous purely because they havent got one and/or cant afford one.

They are the ones that go out of their way to comment on it, its their problem!! F**k 'em Danno

I guess to be fair if I did get the plate it would only be for the people who saw it and smiled..

I guess the people who wouldn't like it hate my car with a passion anyhow!

If you want one get one, they're not even that expensive - paid £250 for one with mine & the missus initials from DVLA.

If you don't like em' dont bother.

Simple.

I personally wouldnt have one, but sometimes they can be quite funny.

saw one on the back of a mercedes as it flashed past doing some abnormal speed...and the plate read

70 MPH

Guy round here with P1 KEE on a RR, maybe he works/lives Swindon/Maidenhead.

I have a private plate which spells my nickname (or one of them ) my wife has one with her initials. It's a bit sad if you have to move letters or add screws to make something look like a word, thankfully mine isn't like that.

I've got one that is perfect for me (HAR816E), and I can hand it on to my son when I pass on...
Took a while to get hold of it, but it will last for ever.

Mine was for my 30th birthday present -- totally non-car related, and will always be very sentimental.

So bollix to those who don't like em - your opinion means nothing to me
