Personalised number plates ..... Bit of fun? Or a bit naff ?

I don't have one here but did have one when I stayed in the states where (in Hawaii at least) you could make up your own up to 6 characters as long as it wasn't offensive or used previously.

I got KL 123 (initials and first house number) and the plate now hangs in my home office. A friend had a bright green VW Beetle with the registration FROG ? .

Totally against people moving spacing, placing screws or dodgy fonts.

Edit... forgot to say it cost $25 to choose your own plate including making them. Apparently, convicts make them. Urban myth, I'm not sure.
 
My wife bought me one for my birthday, in between her buying it and my birthday I went on a rant about how crap some were! Luckily mine is just our surname so to most looks just like a normal plate, although many think it's to do with West Ham - WE12 HAM.
 
I'm not really into them, and do laugh when I see them some old runaround which is worth less than the plate.
My missus has one on her Mini but it used to belong to her Mum so it's a personal thing for her.
There is a guy in Glasgow who runs around with the number plate AR51 OLE. I took a photo of it as I didn't think anyone would believe me.
There is also one I spotted the other day, H8 GERS, which could be a Celtic supporter although he was driving a BLUE Jag which wouldn't correlate.

GERS....
What do you think the Celtic connection is.?
 
There is a car around here, modest car BTW, with BUY 1 on it.

I took a pic of a Goerge Cole Minder-style Jag with G SP0T on it.

Private plates aren't my cup of tea, especially the ones that are illegal and contrived. If someone were to give me one that I liked, then...:)
