A wise man once said 'personalised plates are not a valid form of self expression'
I thought they said 'I BLOWN'
If you must have vanity plates though I'd avoid any reference to 'blow' as it may be misconstrued. I remember a Nissan with 'CMEBLW' (see me blow), which made be think - what you do in private is YOUR business but don't ask me to watch.....

Yeah, Anton, but it is good sh!t and not bad sh!t.
One problem with personalised plates is that, if you inadvertently offend someone on the road, how likely are they to remember your number plate when it is personalised compared with when it is some random alphanumeric string?
Not that you or I would ever offend anyone on the road, so you might file this under risk management.

VERY true - CMEBLW is an example, and a yellow S2000 in Sydney with a wanky plate 'HELLO', a Honda with a 'HONDA' plate....(I'm not kidding, must be from the 'stating the bloody obvious' school of pointless vanity plates)
But it's hard to argue with 'You guys talk sh!t' - such a compelling argument.
