Its not a WRX or Scooby one or anything, more a peronalised plate than needs no messing about to make it say something personal.
OK one number could be shifted over slightly but does not have to

Do I buy it?
It can go on ANY car I own over a 55 plate......

Would you? If you had £400 spare right now?

Nuts, I meant to add a poll lol

34srm

wots the plate

TopBanana

No. Give the money to a needy cause instead.

Snazy

I give plenty a month already thanks

The plate wont mean much to anyone, its just my initials and nick name all on one plate

34srm

get it bought then

HankScorpio

I like private plates but not so much the new style.
Having said that, if it's obvious it's "special", go get it but if you have to explain it or point it out, don't bother.

Snazy

Yeah I kinda make you right on that, but is says SNAZ which is what I have been known by since school days
And my initials which are slightly less obvious but personal to me. And added bonus it can go between cars.
Its not ageless though, and actually will make my 07 look like a 55 lol.
But sayin that they didnt make the Hawkeye on a 55 did they ?

Snazy

Oh dear !!

5 NAS may be of interest?
£20,825

I think Private Plates say something - but ONLY if you do NOT need to mess about with the letters/numbers/screw caps!!

If it's messed about with then all it says is Chavvie Wannabbee.

Mine just says P**ETE plain and simple

Ru55e11

Agreed.

Mine says RUS ***W

<Russ>

Snazy

This one will say my initials, with a 5 making an S (not interested in sloping it, or mis representing it)
Followed by 5 NAZ.

So I think it follows the above formula. Im with you guys. Not into messing about with caps and screws to make something that its not.

TopBanana

Yes - they're called 'vanity plates' for a reason.

pslewis

'Some' of my mates think mine spells W4NKER

I, of course, think it spells CLASS

Snazy

lol, vanity eh, well I have to be vain about something, and I aint got much left

Will buy it Monday

Go for it mate, its what it means to you rather than anyone else.

can you advise me if it still costs £80 in fees above the price off the plate itself to get it put on your own car ??

Snazy

Direct from DVLA the £80 fees are included in the price
So in my case £399 inc transfer and VAT.

The Snug Rhino

NO!


MT5 NAZ or similar is NOT a private plate anymore than buying clothes from Asda for someone called George is private clothing!

At the VERY best someone may notice it and point out what a cool coincidence that it (sort of) looks like your nick name.....obviously, that descends from cool to ridiculus when you explain it cost you £400!

Snazy

I think the relationship to EVERYONE knowing what it says, and understanding it, is dealt with by the term "Private" plate.
Some who I care to know will know, others wont, and need not to know

£400 is hardly a shocking sum of money these days now is it

As for the Asda reference, hardly relevant now, is it George
(just kiddin)

At the end of the day for an oldie like me, it just means I will remember by reg when I get stopped by the police for driving an Impreza, or whatever car I replace it with

**please note, this reply was put together with a LOT of Saturday night humour

Buying it Monday, there goes another £400

StickyMicky

MT5 NAZ = not worth £400 IMO

i paid £250 all inclusive for M111 CKV a few years back.
most people dont even relise the last letter is a V and not a Y (nope i never messed with the letters or spacing etc etc either)

jobs a good un

Snazy

Wish I had managed to bag SNA 55Y a couple of years back, but it went for 5k in the end

I think this is a happy medium, not quite ageless, but memorable, and recognisable for those who matter
Easier for "Was it you" posts too lol

PS Thats also not the reg im getting as quoted Just an example made by other poster
Its not much more amazing than that, but suits its needs.

pslewis

Mine cost me £180 all in, bargain

£400 is about 2 days pay for most people - not a high price to pay really?

StickyMicky

2 lou days maybe

Snazy

Indeed, and I promise to work hard, REALLY hard, on both days!!!
There are loads of "cheap" plates out there.
Was originally just thinking of a 5 character plate, so the front plate being smaller would be less of an issue so to speak. But then thought, if im spending any sum, it might as well be something "sensible"

There are cherished plates on sale at the mo, one letter one number, i.e E 6 for sums in excess of £150k...... worth it ??

pslewis

K1 NGS was the most expensive plate ever sold by the DVLA Auction ... a cool £250,000

Now, that I seriously do not get!!

But a personal plate, at reasonable cost, and not messed about with is a luxury that is worth it if you don't suffer financially to have it.

Snazy

Check some of these out, and thats just the tip of the iceberg!

Its a way to make money disappear before getting taxed on it I guess. Investment of sorts.
