If you are dumb enough to pay that much for some piece of vanity (and also tell all and sundry who you are and where you are going), you are certainly entitled to your foolishness!

I agree with you quicksand. I even think that for personal vehicles, vanity should be priced higher. I think the guys who opt for this have more elastic incomes or should I say sources of money and therefore a one-off fee of 100k is way below their willingness to pay. I would have thought of about 300-500K with an additional annual charge of 50K.

No use of letter 0 and I. Why? If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

Why is it that we cant accommodate each other? People cant be the same. If I want a personalized no. plate and you don't want one, it is ok. Kenyan amuse me!

O is similar to 0 and I is similar to 1
Bankers can you develop financing for this...

Now I can realise my dream.... Watch out for a 'slutbanger' number plate on your rear view mirrors.
Actually I have to get a car first, but those are details.

Nobody said it isn't OK ...but it is stupid. People are allowed to be stupid and we are allowed to laugh at them. If you buy an expensive designer suit, you don't remove the label and paste it on the outside, ..or embroider your name on the lapel, but you are perfectly free to do so. The principle is broadly similar.

This might just be the death of people buying cars going by their number plates with a 2005 KBS costing more than a 2009 KBM etc. He who can express in words the ardour of his love, has but little love to express. - Petrach, Son. (That men by various ways arrive at the same end. - Montaigne, The Essays of.)
