Funny / Cool number plate thread. Post your pics of all things number plate related

[OneMadMan]

I have been threatening myself to find 10 minutes to create this thread, as some of the 'plates' I see are excellent, 'specially when stuck in a car park at peak hour..

Because I started it, that means I get to go 1st.

Couple of years back I took a photo of a plate on a shitbox Commodore.
Was VXW-351 which amused me on the day (XW 351 on a GMH).
Well the meth-head driver didn't like that at all and nekminnit I was deep into my first fullblown roadrage incident. Psycho.
I know why he thought he was the focus of my photo - its because he had been going off on the small kid strapped into the backseat.
I deleted the pic and got the hell out of there after he had jumped back in to said shitbox and ran the red light we were at.
I was shaking, he was nuts.
And we had a small audience by the time it was over, with one fella close by phoning the cops about it.
Didn't need that either.
So yeah, be careful what you are doing (I don't touch my phone in the car anymore either).

And watch out for the nut in VXW-351.

I regularly see a Tesla with the plates OIL-404.
I thought that was simple but clever.

Many years ago there was an article in a car magazine with a picture an old Fiat Truck in NSW was registered with "FUGLY" plates.

There's a Centura in FNQ with Fugly plates.

I saw a Rexy with WA plates “PLAYWIVME”.

No dice son; you’ll have to keep playing with yourself.

Myself, I have “MZL70V” - a nod to the Yiddish expression of goodwill and congratulations “Mazel Tov”.

Over the years on the way to work and back, I sometimes passed a conspiracy theorist. One year he had 911 SUS, another year it was something about covid, and another year it was something really outdated (can't remember exactly what, maybe the moon landing or something equally stupid). Always made me think, what sort of person wastes money on something like that.

I have never understood why people bother with plates. WGAF really and depending on where you are you have to pay a lot of money.

Anyways this one popped up today

Enough of the funny ones........... for now

I've actually got quite an interest in plates, they're a common thread between all makes and models of cars and drivers alike and are all different.
We have a locality based system in WA, a relic from the days of individual road boards, which late became shire councils.
The first letters are an abbreviation of the town, the can hold alot of history and many are family heirlooms.

I pick up early enamel plates when I can, heres a couple I have on the garage wall.



A bit rough and fire damaged I dug up this early Perth metro plate myself, it's quite a low number too.
Underneath is a bicycle plate. CO is the town of Collie.



Perth dealer plate, these were yellow enamel and very hard to find.



Armadale / Kelmscott motorcyle plate, double sided and a nice low number.

I saw WA plates “TISM” on a Landcrusher today. Made me LOL.

Number plates seem to be an option around my way.

Landcruiser getting around my way with SWMBO black and Yellow plates.

I see plenty that don't make any sense to anyone but the owner.

Was at Qld Transport last year registering a car, a new normal QLD plate was sitting in the junk pile...

123 FU2 the lady had returned it because it was offensive.

The transport lady wouldnt let me have it but.

Noting the NSW Road Transport (Vehicle Registration) Regulation 2017 Part 2, Division 5, Subdivision 6, Section 34 (2) as currently in force…

A person is guilty of an offence if the person is in possession, without lawful excuse, of number-plates that were not issued by or under the law of New South Wales or any other State or Territory but that could be mistaken for, or resemble, number-plates so issued.
Maximum penalty—30 penalty units.

My “lawful excuse” being that they are for entertainment and off-road display purposes only, and will not be displayed on a road or road-related area.

The only bit funny about Victorian plates.



Pity the education didn't extend to knowing how to drive between 2 white lines.

[Itsme]

Ute is now gone, but still have the plates

[Interceptor]

Saw the plates "M J FOX" at the lights this arvo, sadly, they were on a BT50 and not a black 80's supercab Hilux 4x4.....

[EBSXR6]

My EB XR6 had EBXRVI plates.

I always wanted the plate 'SCUD01'... when I was driving a 560RWKW beast.. but it's better to stay off the radar so to speak..
