Private plates - cheesy or cool?

[Jiggins]

I have a private plate on retention (JH16GNS - my name is John Higgins). However, I can't decide whether to put in on the GTS when it arrives.

What do people think of 'low value' private plates. If I could find/afford JON 1 then I'd go for that one obviously! ?

No opinion as personalized plates aren't an option in this country but I could see the appeal of it. What would stop you of putting those on? I think they're cool.

Given your name, I've seen CUE BOY around. Think Jimmy White has it.

Obviously, if you're not the snooker JH, you'll have no idea what i'm on about!

If it's good enough for your Mini, it's good enough for the Taycan. The Taycan, though expensive, doesn't IMO have the same image as sober prestige executive cars that might look incongruous with a playful plate.

I have 6 FD.
It is on my 1991 Merc 500E and I am going to sell that and am deciding whether to put it on a Prius or the Taycan.
I do tend to think it is a bit naff myself TBH…

6 FD is a pretty cool plate!

I think you have a cool plate... for your name.

I would put it on.... and why bother what someone thinks. It is you who is going to notice it every morning when you get to your car... so enjoy the smile it brings.
That is why you bought it... didn't you?

Since you ask our opinions, here is mine: Yes, I find it cheesy. But yours (JH16GNS) doesn't look cheesy because it's not too obvious. If you had chosen: PRSHCAR or something like that, yes that would be cheesy, in my opinion.

Generally cheesy - but each to their own.

I like cheesy… I’m a 007 James Bond wannabe.

And here’s my license plate brother from another mother… ?

For me, I find most private plates quite cheesy, especially those that have to be mis-spaced to make sense.

I’ve never wanted a plate on my car that draws extra attention, which is probably the same reason I’ve only ever owned boring silver / grey / dark blue cars, rather than Mamba green or Speed yellow!

That said, I did purchase TY23GTS, for my 2023 Taycan GTS, on the basis it would look like a ‘normal’ plate to most people and only enthusiasts would realise the relevance!

That said, you should go with what you like and don’t worry about other people!

Ive been too busy living the “wagon life” to pay much attention to vanity plates…
