What is so bad with QWK? Can it be misinterperated as something else?

Tell them that it stands for something else..maybe...probably wont work. But you can see there reasoning. Every mofo will want to see how QWK your XR6 really is at the lights; those commy boys dont need any more reason to play up...LOL

You can buy mine!

Why not go the other way with SLOXR-6? I know of a "SLOWEA" that certainly isn't slow lol.

Ive got SLOXR8, laugh if they try ban plates that have the word SLOW in them! Pretty ridiculous people should be allowed to have pretty much anything as personalised plates, QWK or anything like that is not offensive so they should be approved, why pay for personalised plates if u cant have what u want on them?

Going by the limited mods in your signature I would say Vic Roads are on the money by saying they're not appropriate. They would be more suited to something with forced induction.

Just kidding mate!

I'm starting to get scared to get my plates registered to my car :(

I have RUQ1KA i bought them about a year ago before these crappy rules came out, took them off the commodore when noble maccas got really big (just before the riot) as i had lots of troubles with cops because i have to pass through there every day to get home

now i want to register them to my EA, but i don't want them taken off me as they could be deemed inappropriate!
