+northernpenguin Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Just remember, when you see someone with a 00GC01 type plate, they were the original supporters of this project. Way to go everyone for making this happen. Especially you Roy. Quote Link to comment

Way to go everyone for making this happen. Especially you Roy. That's the spirit, try to make this competitive too! I think that every single plate that was promised and paid for had an equally important role to play. How can you be sure that the first supporter didn't wan't another number? Quote Link to comment
+GPS Derek Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I now have to sign the back to "Approve" the plate and return it to Service Ontario. If that's CacheDrone's new plate, they spelled his name wrong. Although that plate looks good... I wouldn't use it! Wonder if it would have a simular problem as these guys.... http://www.snopes.com/autos/law/noplate.asp Quote Link to comment

I meant the number plates vs the word plates that will come later. Like SAMPLE. Quote Link to comment

+BlackRose67 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 If we didn't already have Ontario personalized plates, I'd get in on this. Quote Link to comment
+GPS Derek Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 If we didn't already have Ontario personalized plates, I'd get in on this. Actually you will be able to shortly! Now that the original GC.com graphic batch has sold out the GC.com graphic will be available to add onto your new personalized plate and I beleive added to existing personalized plates! Probably by the fall I would guess. Quote Link to comment
+RCA777 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 As soon as we have a manufacture date from Service Ontario we will post it here -- folks are still requesting plates! Thanks again to everyone for their support! Quote Link to comment
+Diemanca Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Do you have an available list of who gets which number? Quote Link to comment
+RCA777 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Do you have an available list of who gets which number? Once "Spring Fling" (the Mega event this coming weekend) is over-and-done-with and a couple of days of de-brain-gooing occurs, the plan is to have an "update" email going out to all the plate purchasers, which will include their plate #.

+GPS Derek Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Any manufacture date from Service Ontario yet? I just got my plate renewal form this week and don't really want to add another sticker to the old plates.... would love to just have fresh plates! I got till mid September! And yes I know it's out of your hands, it those darn Ont Govt workers! (I'm allowed to say that as I AM ONE) Quote Link to comment
+RCA777 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 ....as before, July 29th is the "scheduled" date of manufacture. Seeing as that's a Sunday (!) I'm going to guess that means the 30th.. then Service Ontario have to "Register" the plates in the system and then ship them. The nice lady said that 'should not be too long'. And so. We. Wait...

+RCA777 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 ...while we wait... we notice that Service Ontario have updated their website... http://www.ontario.ca/en/services_for_residents/ONT06_023115#Sports ...which can only be a good sign, right? Information will be posted as I receive it! Quote Link to comment
+RCA777 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Looks like I've got a lot of paperwork to do this weekend! ****** Mailing of plates will begin NEXT WEEK ****** Your patience is greatly appreciated! If you happen to be in the Newmarket area TODAY (FRIDAY AUGUST 3RD), or on MONDAY (AUGUST 6TH) you might be able to stop by and collect your pre-ordered plate. Drop me a note via my profile on Geocaching.com (RCA777) to arrange pickup! (Service Ontario offices are open on Tuesday!) Quote Link to comment
+Keith Watson Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 It almost looks like a drug stash. Quote Link to comment
+kenas Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 It feels like Christmas...can't wait to get mine!!! Have other attachments/decals for my car ready to go also! It isn't said enough...thank you for all of your efforts on this project!!! Quote Link to comment
+RCA777 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Plates have begun to ship to purchasers; thanks to everyone for their support (and patience). RCA Quote Link to comment
+QTEEEE Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Received mine yesterday. Woohoo! The nerd in me can't wait to get it on the car. Thanks to everyone for all their hard work. Quote Link to comment
+imanxman Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 A friend just showed me a pic of one of the Ontario plates they found on vacation this past week...wow, they came out nice. Wish we had them here in California! I'd post a pic but don't want to give it away...I'm not discovering it either, since I didn't find it in person. But they are pretty...there's no pics up yet?

+ToonAl Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I saw my first on the road plate last week. To the person on the QEW near Burlington. I was the guy on the motorcycle wearing the Hi-Vis jacket who slowed to take a second look. I think I may have freaked you out. Quote Link to comment
+RCA777 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hi Everyone! Time for an update! I'm thrilled to have seen so many folks post pictures of their own plates/plates they've encountered on the project Facebook page -- thank you all! I do know that a few people have bought personalized plates from Service Ontario already - and a few have bought the "regular" issues of 03GCxx plates, also. Reminder -- if you have been asked by family to put something on your "Wish List" for the holiday season... you can always ask for new geocaching licence plates, as they can now be bought directly from Service Ontario! You can thank the original 200 project participants (and Groundspeak) for the plates now being available in the regular Service Ontario catalogue. Essentially.... don't forget to tell your friends and family that geocaching licence plates are now available DIRECTLY from Service Ontario! Visit their website (or their offices) for more info.

+Ma & Pa Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The Reviewers are avoiding 01GC13 and 02GC13... so don't ask. Actually if I was ordering a set I would want one of these, but an 09GC13 would be better, 09 the month I got married and 13 the day I got married. And yes some years it does fall on a friday! Completely off topic. but that is date of birth of my sister, my sister in law and our grandson, as well as a bunch of first cousins. None are superstitious Quote Link to comment
+RCA777 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 A big thank you to Groundspeak for featuring the project on the Latitude 47 blog! The Is That A Geocacher In Your Rear View Mirror? blog post was also linked from the Geocaching.com Facebook page. Quote Link to comment
