    This one makes me want to throw up - "Blessed" on a big black beemer; wonder if it belongs to the same local mob who had "Saved" on a smaller black beemer...

    ahh yes. reminds me of "THANKS" on a local merc.. trouble is the car looks to be a 10yo model at least.. I guess "in it's day" it must have been expensive top-of-the-line but now looks slightly tacky.. that's the risk of such a plate.. they can date horribly when paired with the wrong vehicle.. (let alone any "wanker" msg it might send out forever lol)

    Love it! I get more of a kick seeing a $100k plate on a $20k car than I do seeing a $100k plate on a $400k car. It always makes my day!

    I saw a young attractive girl with long black boots and a short black skirt getting into a car with rego CFM.

    it MAY stand for Cubic Feet per Minute, but I'm not 100% sure.

    With technology changing all the time and things like Barcodes and other electronic forms of identification, do you see these number plates becoming worthless at some point.

    Particularly if legislation is introduced whereby the number plate is no longer the main form of car/driver identification. In other words there is no point or worse are not alowwed to put them on cars anymore?????

    Just a thought.

    the technology already exists for "tagged" numberplates to be read from the side of the road, toll booths, speed traps.
    it was developed by a friend.
    [interestingly enough the AU govt wasn't particularly interested ! suffice to say, the chinese were.]

    it would simply be a matter of numberplates being remanufactured with the electronic tag....
    numberplates still need to be identified by eye for obvious reasons
