:eek: omg the laziness of some people is actually amazing.

Do you think you could manage typing 'reserve a number plate' into google? had you done it this would have come up
www.citizensinformation.ie/categories/travel-and-recreation/vehicle-standards/vehicle_registration_numbers - 22k -

I reckon in 10 years people will be unable to do anything wothout google or worse a website that just answers all questions without fail everytime. Were all doomed.

Of course i'm not a bit surprised your not clever enough to use google but are clever enough to give a smart answer. Well done.

A post on the Internet is asking the opinion of everyone who reads it try google next time its really taking off.

LAZY

If the OP tries to book 09-D-225, won't it go down to a lottery? or is that only on a predetermined handful of numbers?

If someone else requests the same number it'll go to a lottery.

I have a sneaky suspicion that dealers have more pull with the revenue office than random punters however.

296 bhp through the front wheels? It'll be the first time Irish hospitals see drivers with dislocated wrists, elbows and shoulders just from driving around corners!

Dead right.

I've been booking reserved regs for the last 7/8 years, there's no special paperwork for dealers, we all just use the VRT15A form.

Some dealers are BIG users of reserved regs, maybe they buy the lads in the VRO a bottle of whiskey at Christmas, but I doubt it.

More likely these dealers are applying for loads and loads of different numbers and so, even in a lottery situation, they'll still get enough numbers to suit their customers.
The one guy who does it a lot doesn't seem to go for numbers like 09D318 or 09D520 - those numbers'll be fought over in the lottery. Instead he looks for loads of zeros e.g. 09D15000. I'd say that's how he gets his numbers.

ive noticed alot of high end cars lately, ie RR Sports, X5's, with regs such as 07-d-4000 etc etc.

He does go for the popular numbers too, believe me. 89,911,63,65 etc

He encourages some customers to go for the 000's and "throws it in" for others.

the dealer can't book the numbers it wants, e.g Peugeot in Galway can't book 107, 207, 307, 308 and 407 unless they're going to register them as demos. the number has to booked for the eventual owner and not just ordered on spec.
