Hey you lucky guys, even you in Britain can do something creative with your licence plates, eventhough it might be a bit more expensive in the UK
In Germany it's even worse. The only thing you can choose, but again only if you're lucky and it is free, is a combination of max. of two letters and four numbers (e.g. M-IN 74). The first letter is the borough you the car is registered in, in this case M for Munich. I decided to at least get initials and by year of birth into it
Enjoy the great winter weather!
