Don't you end up paying for plates in both the price of the plates and higher car insurance? Or is that a myth....

Anyway the normal plates on my hippie wagon are very similar to the number on the side of the starship enterprise

Nerdy!!!!!

Had my personalised plate since early 1999.

First got it when I had my last car, then transferred it over when I got the current one - and will transfer it to my next too.

It's a myth - and not one I've ever heard of before at that.

Makes no difference to the cost of insurance

No, once you pay for the plates that's it. Makes no difference to the insurance. You have to pay £80 costs every time you change your car though.

Thanks glad someone picked up on that .

On the one I got for my daughter we have had to pay each year to keep it up Cant remember how much. This year will be the first she can actually put it on her car so now we wont need to pay again.

I will have to wait till I get a new 2015 car to use mine cant put it on mine as its a 2010 model.

I imagine that what we all choose to spend money is relative . Some people spend more on designer shoes clothes and bags than I did on my plate. Some people buy expensive holidays.

Sadly, the DVLA never made it available.

When they started selling 'select registrations' in the late 90's where you could pretty much make up your own under the standard format (i.e. Year indicator prefix letter, followed by any number between 1 and 20 and three letters of your choice), some that would be 'more desirable' were held back to be auctioned at a later date, whereas any that could be deemed rude or vulgar simply were not made available.

no you dont have to justify how you spend your money but i genuinely do not understand why ppl by them."

Some people smoke and others like to go out and get pissed and the same could be said of these activities.

At least with a personalised plate, it may be worth a little extra in years to come, and even if it doesn't rise in value, it will still at least be worth something.

You can't exactly say the same about a packet of fags or a bottle of Vodka now can you - if you've consumed them.

The insurance is the same and its a tip when buying a car if someone has had personal plates in in general they will have taken better care of their car as if they waste money on a plate they generally look after the rest of the car better.

Cant see the point in them myself (unless you play golf!)...so, you have your name (or something loosely resembling it) on your number plate...so what?..I think they are the equivalent of a 'del boy' tie pin...

NCC 1701? Or did you go for NCC 1701A? Not that I'm a nerd!

Not sure about insurance but you have to pay every time you change your car.


"Don't you end up paying for plates in both the price of the plates and higher car insurance? Or is that a myth....

Anyway the normal plates on my hippie wagon are very similar to the number on the side of the starship enterprise

Nerdy!!!!!"

But there is a guy locally who has 'AVE IT ' on his DB9. I want to visit the wrath of gid upon him for such sacrilege.

Or even the wrath of god.

The wrath of gid is not nearly as severe.

But it is much more amusing.

"I think they look silly and old fashioned

How do you work that out ?

Having your surname on top of the range Porsche does make some people jealous

Yes, and it's the jealous people who seem to have keys but no car, and leave their mark on your pride and joy

Luckily when you live in the best part of town your neighbours don't care, just don't go near peasants and shop at Sainsbury's lol ... "

yes....but you live in WARRINGTON....You cant avoid peasants there....and the best part of town is the M62 to Manchester

What chaville, the best part is the other way along the M62, to Liverpool.

"If you drive around this time of the year with the roof down, I think your a knob.

To me it dosent matter what your number plate says."

I'll be a knob without the roof down when the sun is out, come summer or winter.

Partner bought me a plate for my birthday - it virtually spells my first name, but had to settle for a V instead of a U, as it was 10 times more the price!

Some are pretty cool, but for me to get the one I want I'd need to come into a few quid... And prob upgrade my 52 plate Astra! There are some thought that I don't get, although so long as the owner does then leave them to it.

That are a bit of a pain in the arse sometimes with transfers and retentions though as a lot of people who have them don't understand how to transfer them and the DVLA aren't always the quickest or most helpful as I've learnt over the years working in a car dealership, but they do seem to be getting over the hitch from when the local offices were closed and they didn't have enough trained staff in Swansea, which might explain the 9 weeks delay for a poster above as it was a testing time... Think I had 4/5 that took the best part of two months to come through, but now usually within 10-14 days

"My ex bought me one years ago! Now I'm divorced and changed my name back it's useless tried to sell it but very difficult as was 'our' surname and my first name mixed up into the nickname his old army buddies called me! I paid to but it in retention no idea what's happened to it as that was years ago! "

I think its gone retention certificates only last for 1 year then if you don't renew DVLA take it back
