I saw one which I laughed at:
14U-2NV - One for you to Envy - clever, but not when its on a bloody Hyundai Excel!!
Mate of mine was lucky enough to get 973-GTR on his LC GTR Torana (9th month 1973)... I just got my nickname on mine, HRN13 - as in Hornie...

I saw a very clever plate in Shepparton last night on a silver Statesman.
GMHOON.
I like his senses of humour. :hihi:
I've also spotted a plate on some crappo Mazda MPV minivan on Dandenong Rd Chadstone.
PB4UGO.
Obviously mum is sick of reminding the kids. :
