I'm afraid I don't understand the facination with all this! They are just tin boxes on 4 wheels with a number plate on them.

Never a truer world.....10% off to that man, just pick a product !!

Seriously, it all leaves me cold - I get teased here, as I seem to have an auto - blind spot - most cars look like variants of an early 90's sierra to me, and as for all the whistles and bells....ZZzz.

But, many people say the same about Danish built AV products...

Here in the UK I was offered K9 BLX for £950. I thought about buying it but no way would I use it on my own car. It would have been purely for financial gain. Was it a good offer? I don't know anything about plate valuations. It's a terrible number though but I'm sure someone would like it on their Lambo or something.

K9 BLX (DOGS BLX) Good/bad investment?

Just to add the information...

Germany: xx - yy zzzz

xx - Town abbrevation e.g. D for Düsseldorf, B for Berlin, VIE for Viersen (my place ;-)

yy - 2 letters

zzzz - up to 4 numbers

yy and zzzz are random (no extra costs, just pay for the making of the plate), if you desire your own version (if available!), you need to spend an affordable extra 20€/27$.

Here in Switzerland the possibilities of numberplates are quite limited. Every canton has his two letter abrevation. Basel for example has BS, Zurich has ZH. So the Numbers always begin with the two letters. Then depending on how big the canton is, there are more or less numbers availeable. Normally low numbers are very loved and also expensive. For BS 5 , someone paied CHF 15'000.- as far as i know.

But there are only numbers availeable, no letters or combinations of letters and numbers. So not that spectacular here

In Adelaide, Australia we have different styles of number plates to choose from, which in my opinion is a litle more rational and individual. It can change the look of the car.

I personally love the 'prestige' square Black plates with 3 or 4 numbers on them in white. With these plates, the less numbers, the more dosh they cost you. Add to the exclusivity, subsequently, these plates are generally seen on BMW, M-Bz, Jags, Lexus etc...

In actuality this plate works like add-on to existing license plate. You keep your original plates but can replace with these.
I forgot how much is random plate cost is but it's less then $100.
Here in US we are usually changing our plates with cars...

"I'm not, and never would, knock anyone for owning one though (except the Guy who drives round my home town in a hairdressers car with the plate "BIG DAN" (actually stylised B19 DAN) who just deserves to have the p$%Â£ taken)"

What constitutes a "hairdresser's car"? I assume it's not one that produces a series of bangs.

Puncher:

Henry:
A Chelsea footballer recently bought this number plate for £1.4million: FU 9. He claimed there was no closer number plate to the strong English swear word beginning in F and ending in CK, and not the word firetruck.
He should be sterilised to prevent him bringer forth any new (insert you own noun swear word here) into the world.

Nice one mate!
