I think those very expensive plates are already owned, and the current owners have listed them at a high price looking for a sucker. New issued numbers are still more expensive than the US (299 pounds and up,) however in most if not all states, there is an ongoing annual fee to keep the custom number. I don't know if the same is true in the UK.

 

Nice Risky Business call back.

No although I can see why you would think that but it was a 928 in risky business, not a 944 and this is simpler as it's based on the Porsche moto of "there is no substitute" ...hence NO SUBS

 

I wasn’t thinking it was a reference to the car from the movie, but the line you just quoted. Tom Cruise says that exact line after a car chase in his Porsche. That’s why I thought it was a callback to that movie. Regardless, it’s a great plate!

 

Cheers
Yeah Tom is always stealing my lines lol

 

Can't believe you didn't do something F-8ish:
- P-sader
- F-8E
- MigMstr

(Even though I'm retired AF, I LOVE F-8s...because "When you are out of F-8s, you are out of fighters.")

 

V8RS992 coming soon (it's been 4 months) for may blacked out S with red interior. You have to think about it to get it (and be a Star Wars nerd like me), and it's not something that will be easily remembered. 20 years ago, I was going to order LRDV8R for my black Targa, but sadly that was taken this time around.

 

impressive. Most impressive.

100 bucks extra in Minnesota.

On a regular plate, you need to pay the 100 bucks again when the plate is required to replaced in 7 years.

On a Collector plate, you never need to pay again. Not only do Minnesota Collector plates not need to be replaced every 7 years, Collector plates do not carry tabs (which on regular cars need to be be replaced every year).
