Must admit i'm not into personalised number plates at all. Some are ok, but generally most of them are very gaelic. Quite why anyone would want everyone to know their name and what they drive is beyond me. Exactly who cares!?
With that said, at least it's better here in Aus than in the UK as the cost seems quite reasonable. Some examples of UK ones include:
M444TFF (meant to say MATT F)
J10DIE (meant to say JODY)
Even worse in the UK are people using the screw that holds the plate on to make part of a letter (an example is someone painting the number plate screw black and putting it in the middle of the letter C to make it look like an E)
I have seen some pretty funny ones:
RU16QT (are you 16 cutie?)
XE55VE (excessive and it is on my mates liberty that competes in dB drags)
HAV32C (have to see and it is on my mates car)
SXYRXY (sexy rexy on a WRX around the corner from where a live)
the list goes on for so long. Sydney is full of that stuff lol
Sorry, but I have had my KC-**** number plates for 21 years that my parents bought for my 21st. But I too also think that some of them are wankers. eg IM2SEXC. And I can tell you, she wasn't 🙅
I did see about 15-20 years ago on a big 4 wheel drive that I was behind - TIVOOM. I thought, WTF does that mean? When I got past him and looked back in my rear view mirror, I worked it out. Say it backwards.
That my 2c worth, Kev
I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!
My number plates on the bugy are BUG33Y, they were on it when I bought it and I like em, I new a fella in Newie who had those FIGJAM number plates about 10 years back, he was a sales person for a well known home builder, had them on a Fairmont last time I saw him, I thought they were kinda good but can imagine them upsetting some of the puritans and maybe, just maybe, loosing him a sale, yeah some are kinda good others just "why?"
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!
I agree, there are acceptable personalised plates and then there are the stupid wanker number plates. Such as sxyrxy, totally agree with you colonel on that one.
Here's a couple of funny ones from overseas.

Bajachris you have too much time on your hands,but very funny.On that note do you want to buy a workshop to fill your days with lots of joyous things like this? you do tend to see lots of humorous things on the driveway. Cheers
Another bloke I knew long ago had GT327 plates on an MGtc, back about late 60's early 70's had heaps of offers for em but wouldn't sell, got me why as they meant nothing on an MG.
