Number Plate- Had to happen sooner or later :-)

[stevo68]

Gday all,

Was heading ( read being dragged up to home expo in Brissie this arvo) and saw a black Kluger. Whoopee doo you say, and you would be correct bar the number plate............." FA QUE" yep even with the space in between :D, 13 yr old stepson had an all right snigger over that one,

Regards

Stevo (wondering if I should get "FIGJAM" for the D3;))

[Quiggers]

Stevo, get the only number plate in QLD that hasn't gone, as no-one in QLD gets it:twisted::D:twisted::D;)

GENIUS

Most witty was on a black Cherokee at Narrabeen.
"BAA BAA"
Or on a Kingswood same area "NOT THE"
Or I thought mine was pretty good on my Old Porshe 924 Turbo "IXI11V."( Only for the educated or old)

I got cut off by a Blonde women in Boronia a few years back in a black Celica with black and white plates saying SORRY.......

I thought it was appropriate for her driving.

[DeeJay]

Story goes here in Vic that someone had a plate that made no sense, unless you were Russian. It was about the worst swearword. Now I understand they vet the requests a lot more closely, even putting them up to a mirror:eek:.
I wonder if I could get NEAR Q ?? :D

[ladas]

I had a great one on a amc when I was a student in california - this was the early 70's and the yanks were thicker than they are now

It was Bollo#&s - but obviously with the right letters instead of #&

Raise a few eyes with other pohms - the septics didn't have a clue

[Quiggers]

A very nice bloke I worked with many moons ago had a NSW plate where the letters were above the numbers

LBO
110

L1B1D0 was so obscure, and sadly he died of prostate cancer.... and that's sadly, no joke...

My very original (and about ten feet away) Honda SL 125 (1973) was delivered new (NSW reg) as IX-125...

Surely the educated version would should have been "CMXXIV" :)

I got "SUP01B" for my WRX, now stuck on a family member's Barina until I get another car.

Saw a pretty little blonde thing driving some pimped up thing the other day plate PRI55Y. I thought yeah, I can see that one!

Its funny watching people argue when they come in and try and register sus plates :) Mind you some which do get through :eek: I had to explain 2 weeks ago why "CAMLT 0" was not acceptable the cashier was an older lady who didn't get it at first :p

Theres a black capella with a rotary in it buzzing about with the plates "COFFIN" locally.

I am just upset I cant get a plate with my initials as here that letter run is reserved for golf buggies :(

[Quiggers]

you got a problem with camels, jsp?:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

there's plenty of camels in SA, and I suspect,
most have toes......:twisted::twisted::twisted::twisted:

a 40 something cute mum i occasionally work with, was truly amazed when her 14yo daughter chastised her for wearing tightish jeans....;););)

A couple of weeks ago I saw a B1ONDE, but couldn't see through the tinted windows to check if she really was (ie. couldn't spell), or just a wannabe with dyed hair!

BMW 3 series with big ass 20" wheels at summernats, has ONDDOL with a big sponsored by centrelink sticker and the back window:D

[solmanic]

bar the number plate............." FA QUE" yep even with the space in between

Interesting - that contravenes PPQs plate guidelines that plates cannot contain words or phrases that may be offensive to others so someone stuffed up and missed it...

If someone complains then the user will probably be told to return them.:twisted:

FA KIM!

[Grimace]

i have UZN46 on the ute :D

Well at least you'll be able to spot the New Zealanders laughing as they roll by...

Friends have a large family and bought a Toyota van that seats about 15 people. The plate is "IMABUS"

[Bigbjorn]

I had AIF-49 on my 1928 Dodge Standard Six Ute. Painted Black with Royal Blue guards. Signwritten Johan Hjelm and Sons Mouquet Farm Tinana. The Remlr types will pick up on this. Yes, he was there.

Wouldn't a nine-eleven be IX-XI and a nine-twenty four be IX-XXIV?

[RonMcGr]

To me it looks like it means "youz in for sux".
However I'm not a Kiwi either :)

I'm sure everyone will know what it means.

I briefly owned two 911's, about twenty years apart. I bought them for resale and did pretty well out of them. I always called them nine-elevens and so did anyone else I ever came across who was involved with them. I never had a Volkswagen 924. I only had contact with people who had to maintain and repair them and who called them @#$%^&*(() boxes. But in a similar vein:-
Holden two-five-three
Chev two-six-five
Chev two-eighty-three
Chev three-fifty
Ford three -o-two
Falcon two-fifty
Valiant two-six-five
Chryler three-forty
Hemi four-twenty-six
Scania hundred and ten
M-Benz fourteen-eighteen
Inter. one-ninety
Inter thirty-seventy
White four-five-six-four
White RC sixty-four

et so vide

[PhilipA]

I never had a Volkswagen 924.
So what do you call a Cayenne? a Volkswagon/Audi Cayenne?

Ah, but the 924 Turbo was a different beast. Same **** Getrag shift gearbox as a 911.
Only thing VW was the block and all the bits that are fabulously expensive on Porsche(eg ignition switch =$80, 928=$1000)
One of my son's friends has just bought a cherry 928 for 20K with supposedly 10k to spend. Now he is whinging about the costs.
But it is a Nine Eleven, yet the NineTwo Four was a 924 . Go figgure.
With BMW there used to be a code at least
3 was series 23= engine of 2.3 litres.

[Gromit68]

How about:

"JAGWAH" for a JAg XJ6
and
"PDLCAR" for a Daihatsu Copen convertible (0.7L engine)?

Well, they were built by Volkswagen in a Volkswagen plant from Volkswagen/Audi components and if you need parts for them you buy VW/Audi parts at about 40% of the same part in a Porsche packet, or at about 10% if you get them for a pirate importer. So what would you call them? Badge engineering, like BMC. At least BMC built their own cars, even if the same car had five or six different names.

Austin Lancer, Morris Major, Riley Elf, Wolseley 1500.
MG Midget, Austin-Healey Sprite. And others, Sheerline, Princess. The trucks, which at the end were mix and match with practically only the name on the front different, sharing the same components other than leftovers.

Ford did well at this also. Made basically the same s**t-boxes under different names for about twenty+ years. Model Y, 8hp, 10hp, Popular, Anglia, Prefect. And the bigger ones were practically the same car with different names, U.S. Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, English Pilot.

A President of General Motors put it succintly when he said (I could have the $$$ wrong as I would need to search for his book) you could build a Chevrolet for $300 and sell it for $500, and you could build a Cadillac for $500 and sell it for $1500.

This basic marketing principle is why all manufacturers now are trying to promote themselves as having a "prestige" or " luxury" brand. Toyota and Lexus is the horrible example. Promoted from day one as a "luxury" car when it is really only another Toyota with different badges and more selling aids. The used car business, as usual, is pragmatic. Lexus, like most "luxury" cars, are worth phugue all after the gloss of new proud ownership has dissipated.
