the aussie cool/tool number plate thread

Saw a M3 CSL yesterday with the plate V QUICK.

Also while in Taupo the day after the GP I saw the new zealand team's RS4 avant with the plate NZ A1GP.

 

they're dreamin'

SA plate [28] on a Jensen Healey at the Sporting Car Club on Friday night.

 

numerous vic heritage plates around sorrento/portsea on the weekend

i never tire of seeing them, even the 6-number ones look class on the right car

 

Didn't happen to see 288 or 308 did you?

 

The new accessory for PORTSEA VOODOO DOLLS.

 

You chasin VIC 308 also mate?

 

Yup, I currently have "308-V" centenary plate on it; but "308" heritage plate would be better.

 

Curious, has there ever been any 'counterfeit' heritage plates bought/sold that have been indentified as fakes? Have you ever heard of anyone ever doing that? Because these are worth some big bucks, surely someone has tried to recreate one to sell off to make some cash. This may be a new business venture for young pappy.

 

unfortunately not but if i ever do ill slip a business card under the wiper for you!

 

how is that possible?

plates are registered to an owner

you cant just make a new plate and sell it. firstly you need to prove you are the registered owner to HAVE a new set made

and secondly...the value of a heritage plate lies in the fact you have the RIGHT to display it

youre not paying for the lump of vitreous enamel

 

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I didnt know much about those heritage plates.

 

np man

applies for all plates anyway...what u own is the rights to them

 

Saw an ice cream van the other day with the license plate LICK 1. Had abit of a chuckle.

 

Heritage plate [257] on newish looking Bentley sedan, chapel st sth yarra last night

 

(insert sarcastic tone) The best plate ever!

Conti GT in Sydney with the plate CGT-02C

Just goes to show that money does not buy class.....

 

Paris Hilton has showed us that time and time again for the past 7yrs

 

True..but I'd rather be very rich and not have much class

 

yeah, i agree

plenty of ppl hang it on paris....but do you think it bothers her when shes on the flybridge of a 100' motoryacht or in her 'daily driver' Bentley?

 

It would not bother me in the slightest.

 

Just going back on topic. Was thinking of doing the following:

a) Debadge the 550i and replace it with a chrome sign that says 'DL'; or

b) Debadge the 550i and put on custom plates "E60 DL"

That way when I come up at the lights with some ricer, they won't be able to know which 5-series they're up against, unless they know their roman numerals

Lame, I know...but it's been a slow day...

 

it shows

 

yea..gotta work on it...i've got too much class and not enough money
