ACT - not as bad as you think

The_Bulldog has sent in this pic with the following note:

Hi team – found this when out and about at the weekend. Don’t seem to recall this being an option last time I rego’d a car, but thought it might create some interesting debate over alternative plate phrases.

My thoughts thus far “ACT – Don’t blame us – you voted for them!”

Any others you’d like to suggest?

I’m pretty sure I have a photo of the entire car somewhere, maybe I should send it in. 🙂

ACT – A country city

I hope you keep it covered when driving around then, so only people with consent can look at it…

Monster was not covered in blood when he was found, he had cleaned himself up.

ACT – Because I’m a Whinging Sook Who Deserves A House In The Inner North

ACT – not to be trusted without adult supervision.

ACT – Only 2 degrees of separation.

ACT – shhh I’m sleeping in here as I can’t afford to buy or rent
ACT – become a zombie in two easy lessons
ACT – Vic Laruso hasn’t got here…..yet
ACT – thankful we don’t have Eddie McGuire
ACT – the politicians are only here part of the year
ACT – we build roudabouts to confuse tourists. Have a nice day
ACT – will rent backseat when parliament is sitting

ACT RULES OK!

ACT – Bogans welcome.

ACT – We have a pub.

ACT – Come see our flower festival.

ACT – You’ll never come back.

ACT – Good preparation for a coma.

ACT – Please do not feed the politicians.

ACT – One free “get away with murder” card per visitor.

ACT – We don’t care what you think.

ACT – It’s a very good place
ACT – It’s a nice place
Is ACT, is good
Canberra is calling you back

(Don’t laugh. Vic has “The place to be” after all).

I love Canberra but man it is f***in small… it seems to feel smaller the longer I live here 😛 (not entirely complaining)

Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it and soon enough a trip to the other side of will seem a journey too far.

ACT – a good sheep station stuffed

ACT – we made our lake

ACT – what speed limits?

ACT – triangles and circles

ACT – overcharged 5$ for pizza

ACT – feel the parrots

ACT – landlocked by NSW

ACT – keeping Sydney and Melbourne at war since 1913

ACT – yeah? good, piss off then

ACT – you’re capital

ACT – where yowies roam free

ACT – its a riot

ACT – You’ll never get lost here (unfortunately)

Seriously though, I could confidently drive all around various regions of ACT without a GPS after living here for a week or so… (moving from Sydney). Although it is kinda useful to not have to worry about getting lost while navigating somewhere… the little adventurer in me would like to have countless new places to end up in by accident, with hidden gems discovered along the way. Am I the only one who feels this way? I love Canberra but man it is fuckin small… it seems to feel smaller the longer I live here 😛 (not entirely complaining)

ACT – if you can read this you must be a local tailgaiter
ACT – if we had light rail you wouldn’t be reading this
ACT – no humans seen South of Mt Taylor
ACT – no IKEA for over 200km
ACT – AFL not welcome

Or we could really shake things up and confuse the interstaters with:

ACT – where all drivers are on the side of right

Unless you get caught covered in blood in your car and admit to a killing two people.

Actually, yeah I get you now, just saw it! (Downer)

I think Catch-22 logic would come into play there.

If one admits to killing, then they must be mad- too mad to be a murderer.

ACT , For when Bonnie Doon just wont do.

I can see some real good ideas coming from this thread:

‘ACT – Another Country Town’
‘ACT – A Coroners Tribute’
‘ACT – Act Accordingly’
‘ACT – Assume Courts are Troubled’
‘ACT – ACT Riot’

Just couldn’t help myself!

hahahahahaha awesome plate, if that was a choice (for the cheapest plates) i’d choose it.

ACT – Beware the reptoids
ACT – Juliar’s Lair

ACT – only two layers of Government
ACT – beautiful one day and useless the next
ACT – let us euthenize ourselves if we want
ACT – let us marry who we want
ACT – just off the Hume highway
ACT – don’t enter without medication
ACT – don’t visit us and we won’t tax you
ACT – where the pollies have only a small part

and for the rubber neckers ACT – nothing to see here

+1 Pommy

ACT – Mully free since 2010

Also

ACT – drive it like you stole it!

Pommy bastard3:51 pm 25 Mar 11

ACT- The Capital. (No it’s not Sydney)

ACT-For when you’ve had enough of excitement.

ACT- It’s not too far from the coast.

ACT – No more Mully.

ACT – Smell the politicians.

ACT – We have an airport.

ACT – twinned with Upper Cwm Twll.

ACT – Home of the speed camera.

But even then it could be a stretch to get charged. Your name is Massey and you are high as a kite with a shotgun and with dead folk in the boot of the car, do you get charged? You still have to go before Justice Higgins and he does not believe in murder.

I would have gone with: ACT – Bigger than a breadbox

It is an option on personalised plates, but I think it does cost more. If I remember correctly, those purple police cars with the personalised numberplates have a slogan that says something along the lines of “Making Canberra safer” (I can’t remember exactly what it says).

Nononononono!!!

A slogan like that’s likely to attract people, and we’ve got more than enough of those already.

I prefer “Feel the Power of Canberra” – it must still be keeping people away in their millions. (Not that I’d have one – I don’t want people throwing rocks at my car).
