In Ontario, the plate 3M TA3 was rejected by the censors.

Interesting. How exactly are you determining that? Cos even despite my utter hatred for personalised reg plates, I fail to see how a random set of letters on a plastic oblong slapped on either end of the car can make a blind bit of difference to how smart a car looks.
In my experience, if I ever see a car with non-standard reg plates (or Irish plates which I don't know how to interpret date-wise) then I'm steering well clear. If I cannot line up the mileage with the issue date of the car, it's out of the question.
Got them as I found out it's about $15 a year extra for personalized plates here. Like fudge is cough up real money for them in the uk.

Which country you in? My cousin has EFC1 on his car in Boston, MA. If you're USA, just wondering if cars can have the same reg in two states.
Yes...it's done by state. So theoretically there could be 51 EFC1 plates...States plus Washington DC.
Yup, like cheese says. And luckily I'm in a fairly low pop, farm state so Everton fans, or indeed footy fans aren't a huge % of the population.
No! Never. My state Virginia has a boatload of them, apparently it is cheap to get them. They are annoying.
My brother Rob sold his car to a friend. She got 'ROBS CAR' for vanity plates.
I saw one that was JFT 96....
And Puerto Rico?

It is because my car is a 2005 yet family and friends all think it is around 2007/57 (latest line of my model), it hides the identity of the cars age to a small degree, plus it came equipped with AMG rims and front. In terms of the plate to miles issue, I wouldn't stay clear just because it has a private plate, I would be checking the service sheets etc to follow the mileage stated on the forms. if it goes 50k, 60k, 70, 50k, then you know something is amiss
The way I see it, plates are not for everyone's liking, its just something that people like if they look after their car and take pride in keeping it clean. I guess the best way to put it is why do people get tattoo's ? Is it vein ? Is it to stand out from the crowd ? Maybe you just like it ? Each to their own I guess.
if everything was to be the same then we would all wear cheaply made clothing with no brands, no tattoo's, no plates, all hair must be shaven, its just peoples own way of taking care of themselves/appearance.
(Unless your plate says B1G D16K - I only use that on weekends)

Could work both ways though. At first glance, if I saw a clean, shiny car with private plates, I'd instantly think 'hmm, what are they hiding?'.It is because my car is a 2005 yet family and friends all think it is around 2007/57 (latest line of my model), it hides the identity of the cars age to a small degree, plus it came equipped with AMG rims and front.
