How come it is $25 for a personalised numberplate when it's £100s over here?

Because stupid Brit consumers are vain enough to fork out £100s for a personalised number plate. Thats how come.

It's far cheaper to change your name by deed poll to match the number you already have!! :lol:

Or name your business based on your registration. :hehe:

In fact I think there's probably a real world business opportunity there - buy a block of 10 registrations - register a company name based on the registration - and sell the lot as a package.

"JCT600", the big Porsche / Mercedes /etc group of dealerships, got its name that way... It was the registration number of Jack Tordoff's rally Porsche in the late '60s. :-)
