I hear the Manx Dune Buggy Club is going to get number plates made up through PPQ, just got an email of Brad.
Anyone here going to get a set ?
I have attached the design, I think :thumb

If they do they'll look great !!!

Manx JR ·

Cool......I like the last one the best....
So when can we get them??
:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce:bounce
Manx JR ·
You will have to ask Brad, he emailed them to me last night. I think the design is still open to input.
Brad ·
Hopefully within a few weeks of when we pick a design.

So will they be ready to show off at Valla?
I've given my input, and I'm waiting for the outcome.
Graham
Brad ·
They will be done before Valla but will your buggy be there with them on ?????
:cry:cry
11CAB ·
I seriously doubt the buggy will be there......but won't the plates look cool sitting on the Kombi dash......😀😀😀😀😀
Brad ·
So what does that mean, your XF Wagon will be worth about $100 when you take into account the fact it currently negative, at least once you get deffected 😀😀
Brad ·
Ok the word on from PPQ is that there are 9 colours for the rego number and border.
Brad ·

I like the Black Plates, I agree about the Black Strip though.
Some people may not want Blue on their buggies, Black should go with most!
Brad ·
...
Brad ·
We need to pick one colour for the bottom line "Manx Dune Buggy Club inc and sort the graphic out.
The colour of the border, the QLD and the Rego Number can be selected by the individual from 1 on 9 colours availible.
I am getting teh feel that Black letters for "Manx Dune Buggy Club inc and the red buggy without the Meyers Manx sheild,like above ???
Brad ·
well
Brad ·
here
Brad ·
..
Baja Wes ·
I don't think they will let you have the last one.
Have you asked if we will be able to get a slimline front plate and what it would look like? I run a slimline now...
BiX ·
How much are these costing u guys each, and whats the min number required? just thinking for the VWDCQ 21st bday
Brad ·
The prices are on the PPQ website and weren't VWDRIVERS Club formed in 1968 ?? don't seem like 21 years to me .
Haven't seen any plates uploade for a few hours ..:bounce
Baja Wes ·
how about 2 versions of plates.
the buggy plate, and...
The baja plate!!! 😀
Jamox ·
Clearly the Baja plate is THE only way to go. Is it a real option or what? I don't know whether I will get one but I know what I would choose.
Jamox
Baja Wes ·
if I can get enough people that like the Baja one, then we will produce a baja one.
The only prob is it's queensland only. so sorry Jamox, you'll have to move to the other side of Australia. 😀
Brad ·
Check with your local registartion place, your state may have plates like this and be able to do them for you no probs.
Jamox ·
I'll look into it Brad. Are these classified as 'Custom Number Plates'? If they are, I don't think I can afford to spend the $200 on them. What are "Historical Plates" that you mentioned Brad?
If I am in WA, does that mean I can invent my own one on behalf of the MDBC? He he he he, HA hA.... HOOO HOO Hoo HAH HA HAAA!
The_Bronze. ·
I'm on the RIGHT side of Australia and I still wouldn't be able to have plates like that. Qld is leading the way alright for identity. Would love Baja plates and would be willing to pay for them but here (NSW) individual plates like those cost ~380 dollars a year to keep.
The New England has a new trial plate but as far as I know NSW does not have club plates for any one other than special Vintage Automobile Registration.
11CAB ·
OK there is too many choices going up now.......my personal favourite though is the one with black surround, black letters and the manx club website on the bottom
Graham
Bugged Again ·
This might be a strange observation but why would you have a baja on a number plate that is the Manx club. Seems pretty obvious what should be on there.
Wha tabout a baja bus picture?
Brad ·
You see we are a Buggy and baja club. Manx Australia sold Manx baja Kits so we let them in. I would not want a baja on my buggy so do not expect a baja guy to want a buggy on there baja.
11CAB ·
Surely each different picture is going to attract the $300 artwork fee for the plates....
I think we need to pick one design and stick to it
Graham
Brad ·
They do but it woudl not be fair to not offer the baja owners the same opportunity as teh buggy guys.
The club decided that is we had 5 buggy guys who wanted plates then we woudl get them. Well they have the same rules for teh baja plates. So far:
Buggy Plates:
1- Brad
2- Graham
3- Dyno
4- Rick
5- Kenny
6 - Rod
Plus a few possibles.
Baja Plates:
1- Wes
2- Terry
3- Darren
So they aren't there yet

Who has been playing with My Settings?
"MANX Plate Theif"
BRAD!!!!!!!
Soon you will have cool plates !
I am almost envious, Nah like mine better.
Brad ·
Now would I do a thing like that ? Not for the last few weeks anyway and surely your not that slow 😀:P
I dunno about cooler, My mum stopped writting names on things to help me know what they were when I was about 2. Now you have gone and spent a heap of $$$ on an easy way to remember you one a MANX 😀😀
I don't need reminding
Baja Wes ·
ok, the two plates shown on this page, will be very similar to what we will be getting. However I am yet to decide on the exact Baja graphic as I quickly coloured a B&W graphic to make that one.
I am quite sure we will be getting Baja plates, cos I am silly and I'd be happy to pay a bit extra to offset any costs to the club. I just need to find a balance between how many I think we'd sell, then split it up to an additional fee per plate that I would have to charge club members to get them. So essentially the cost of getting the plates will be paid for by the people who buy them, not members in other states etc.
Brad ·
What say the crowd ?
11CAB ·
I like the very last one but without the two tiny pics in the bottom corners.
Graham
Brad ·
Wes has too much money, so much he took out a perfectly good VW engine and put in a rice cooker
:vader

Brad ·
This is what we are looking at currently:
manxed69 ·
Even though you boys wont let me play because I'm not in QLD, I like the final versions anyway.
What would be the final cost of these plates as a matter of interest? And is it possiable to get a plate anyway even if I cant use it?
Bugged Again ·
I think you guys have found the best looking plate, will have to go get myself a manx just so i can have a plate.
I don't see "The Smart State" on the plate anywhere 😀
Baja Wes ·
I like the little pictures down the bottom, it makes the plates look like a pair
I did prefer the first Baja I posted though, we'll see what artwork we can find in a decent resolution.
Andy42 ·
So do we have to be manx club members to be able to get the Plates🙂 Guess I will have to join just to make it all legit. 😀
Andy42 ·
I was just wondering what plate type these will be. Eg 3 letters 2 numbers etc.
Oh and will they still have the 2 little pics in the corners as they make them look really COOL😀
Brad ·
We are still debaiting the little pictures.
The plates will be either 2 letter 3 numbers or 2 numbers and 3 letters.
Yes you will need to be in the club, so you shoudl join 😀
Andy42 ·
Honest I tried to look into that on the site tonight but where it says click here does not exist. :alien
Brad ·
OK ... all fixed, try it now and it shoudl be fine
wibble ·
definately keep the little pics in the corners, looks great and promotes that the club is for buggies and baja's (or baha depending if your point of view on that one!)
maybe I should be quiet cause you'll make me finally pull my finger out and join the club too!!
Brad ·
Join Join Join Join Join
wibble ·
I have created a monster! your right, site is fixed, and yes we printed some forms out! so yes to keeping the cool little pics?
also any indication on price??
Andy42 ·
The baja plates are fine but don`t you think the two little pics just brings the 2 types of cars a little closer together:thumb
manxed69 ·
You guys are making me really pissed that I don't live in QLD.
I WANT PLATES TOO!!!
:cry
Baja Wes ·
There is some division about the little pics.
I see both sides.
I agree they start to make things a little cluttered, and sometimes simple is best.
But I also think they make the plates look paired, and really show the baja's and buggies point.
in the end I like the little pics.
Brad, I think we need a vote on this one!
PS - I am still not quite happy with the yellow baja pic, I like the blue one better, more stylish. But we will have to take what we can get in the end I suppose.
MikeM ·
Did these ever eventuate?
I'd love one....
Baja Wes ·
yes, brad had some on his car at landcruiser.
Brad ·
Yep I have them also some of our members up north have ordered them and they will be on their cars soon.
They are vcery cool and part from being pulled over by a Cop who thought I had made my own plates up all is well.
He had a good chuckle when he found out we had actually registered the desigbn and it was all legal and stuff :thumb
Hi thought it was cool that I had a little buggy on my buggy number plates... 😀
I though it was cool that he thought it was cool and didn't go looking at my very roadworthy buggy 😎
Brad ·
here is a thread that Dazcat posted pics of my actual plates in while I was Overseas kicking back on a tropical Island for a few months..
