I’m looking to buy a new car in a few weeks. It’s what grown-ups do, so I’m told. I don’t really know anything about cars so the extent of my research into the subject amounts to:

1) Can the CD player work with MP3s?

2) Does the car come in yellow?

That’s pretty much it. Apparently there’s an engine inside these things? I have no idea.

However I have used this opportunity to think about what kind of personlised licence plate I want to have on it. OK I’m not that likely to have one since they cost a fortune and don’t do anything useful like a GPS (great things, those. I hate having to think and drive at the same time, we men really don’t multifunction that well).

The standard ones let me have three letters and two numbers. The mega-expensive ones let me have six characters, which is just as useless since Cameron and Gazunta and Plant-Man and Flowerin’ exceed that. So…let’s look at some of the suggestions:

This would be cool but people might think I was into weed or something. Or a relative of Robert Plant.

I hate the fact that it’s a misspelling of the greatest video game magazine ever made, but it’s still cool, and it represents the starting point of my day job career.  On a related note CBM64 was unavailable.

It’s supposed to spell “Pinata”. I really enjoyed making that game.

See…it’s “Zunta”…and I’m born in ‘74 so that kind of fits…

Anyway…head on over to the Personalised Plates site and see if you can come up with a good one!
