Have the opportunity to get a personalised plate.

MTB 8055

Yay or nay?

Should point out that I'm inn Germany and the font cannot be manipulated.
Could have our initials, but with the M having to come first I thought that'd look like two random letters.

Will cost me about 20€, but well it cost me the wrath of stw?

If you don't mention it no one may ever know.

Lots of cars called DA VE here.

Best I've seen nearby is DI M 1.

At €20 I'd do it just to get something sensible/stupid, or rude in English but not German. Not sure about that suggestion though.

So long as you don't turn into a complete knbo-end like the man in H1 DRE (a Disco, I think) who forced his way across 3 lanes of crawling M4 traffic yesterday. Tosser!

Angeber ! Personalisierte Kennzeichnungen sind für die die mit BMV M5 Cabrios rumfahren und gleichzeitig Sonnenbrille trägen. Kennbar Unbekante. Auf dem T5 niemand passt auf, oder hast du auch chrome felgen und rot laquierte bremse teilen ?

Well said Drac 😀

Did any of us need to know anyway? 😕

It isn't an obvious plate so most people won't notice. Those that do will be mountain bikers and either smile or think you are a knob.

Do you are that much about the small minded and 20 Euro is not a lot to make a few people smile?

I nearly bought a plate for the bike once. £300! Madness, what was I thinking? (the stupidest bit is, I only backed out because I was planning to bore the engine out and it'd have made the numbers wrong)

But 20 euros, **** yeah!

For 20 euros I wouldn't worry. That's about 3 pints in Chamonix.

Ordinarily, given the cost I'd say personalised plates = more money than sense; however, for €20 it falls into "why wouldn't you" territory.

at €20 shed loads of people just get their initials (certainly a very significant portion at work)

MTB xxxx will be meaningless to most. Suspect more Germans would ponder if the car owners initials were TB, than think the owner is a mountainbiker.

@ Edukator .... Ist doch ein T5..... Sieht schon aus wie ein Proleten schleuder. Saußen schwarz, schwarze Felgen, schwarze Fenster. Keine rote Teile. Passt das in deinem Bild?

Wondering what other combination I could have.

M-?? ###

Arrange it any way you like - it'll always say 'I'm a knob'. 😀

I dont get the point of private / personlised plates. They are either too obscure to mean anything except to the owner, or just look daft.

Bit of a coincidence, but it was my birthday yesterday and as a present I got ‘P100 MTB’ to put on my van. I realise not many people will understand it, but I quite like it!

Are you a bell-end and do you want others to know it?

If you answered yes to the above then you qualify for a personalised plate!

I think the point of the more obscure ones is to hide the year of the car. Either when new to disguise that you've just spent a shit load money or when old to disguise that you are driving around in an old motor.

Crazy I know but it does make people feel more comfortable driving a car for longer rather than felling like that have to change just because of the number plate.

Having our number plates highlight the year the car was new is a marketing masterstroke by the car industry.

Good thing about personalised plates is you cannot tell how old the car is. Get it.

=) ^^
i think the UK is one of the few places that carry the year on the number plate. i think just about everywhere in Europe uses either letters or numbers to denote the place where the motor is registered.

i know of a few people that either have their initials or company initials on their plates, and since there is no manipulation of the font you can't try and turn 4s into Hs or such like.

certainly a plate i wouldn't want on my car.... =)
