Default VIC plate FGGTHO is taken ...

Does someone on this site have it...?
They are either using it or hoping to use it or maybe have bought it as an investment...

My mate bought 6 plates (when the new funny numbers fonts came out a couple of years ago)... thought he'd make a killing, hasn't even sold one for cost.

This one may prove different.

I think plates like that now are reserved for the car companies.

No, W16 ala Bugatti Veyron style, and ford are putting on 8 turbos; one low pressure to charge the higher pressure for each bank. Gives instant boost from 500rpm up to redline 7,000rpm. Expect over 1200 rwkw.

I rather a "Personalised" plate over name of the car, which IMO Screams Identity Crisis.

Really?

He wouldn’t be related to Xander Yanac Graham Trevor Howard Osborne by any chance, would he?

But on the plate side.

FGGTHO may end with all those other "winners" like AV FORD, AV XR8, AV T4, FTE T4, BA GTHO, BF GTHO etc.

Plates were once a "must have" but appear to have waned somewhat in popularity.
I tried to sell my "FPV F6" plates for over a year before I was offered what I paid for them and took it. They were last seen sitting on a XR6 with a XR8 bonnet and huge shiny wheels.

Top bit very funny

Lower bit I agree entirely.
Years ago a bunch of my mates had vanity plates; I was constantly amazed at how many ways people could spell "sick" (before the uleh brigade made it "fully").
In retrospect I guess a Suzuki Swift GTI with 15" rims is not that "51KK". Sorry to my mate Nik for outing him and his black GTI, but perhaps he'd imagine it was a little tool like to drive around in.

You shouldn't be able to buy a new plate unless you have a car to attach it to although it's a bit late to put in that rule as all the good plates have been taken or in some stock pile somewhere

try GTHOFG or GTFGHO or HOGTFG

I don't think it's wise for someone to buy plates based on hoping that ford will do another GTHO.
