    I have ALBANACH on my van, and PHILABEG on my station wagon. I know Bob Martin had KILTED plates when he was in SC, but when he came to NC found it was taken, so his plates now read 2BKILTED.

    Aye,
    Matt

    Something doesn't add up.. wouldn't those plates ALBANACH, PHILABEG and 2BKILTED, be too many digits for a license plate? Aren't they limited to 7 digits, like the sample below?

    I was actually wondering the same thing??

    btw, where did you find that image of the SC plate? I like it. It's much better than that palm tree they have now. Is it a new design?

    For one thing, Matt is in North Carolina, not South Carolina.

    I, personally, was aware of that but didn't realise until I just checked, that NC does indeed let you have up to 8 characters.

    Yes, most states allow seven, but some go up to eight.
