Yeah, I spotted this mad EL in town the other day with the same plates "4 LITRE", just couldn't figure out why it would have plates like that - after all, everyone knows Falcons have 3.8L V6's.... its really a Commodore I want with their sick straight 6cyl powerplant, my uncle has one it runs a ten on the 1/4 but the machine was broken so some guy with a stopwatch timed it I have a pic but its on my other computer.

I wonder how many number plate variations of "4-Litre" are registered by users of the forums? Not that posting up your rego is a good idea or anything...

As the official AFFSA sh|t stirrer I must condemn this post. You have your own portfolio, the defilement of virginal waitresses, this is a clear intrusion into my own work :P

Any one know if there is TCKFD1 (I think that's what the plates were, if not very similar) on the board?
Nice looking car, it was parked so I had to walk past and have a quick look at it.

Yeah I've seen it around too ;) I guess you need personalised plates to be "spotted".

Seems that a few of us here have variations on the same plate.

damn, good point there... my car takes 5L of oil... damn...

i might have to make a custom oil pan and fuel tank, so the total amount that can be held is divisible an even number and can be divisible by 4 and still end up with a whole number... not little fractions...

I spotten dan's car at Springwood one afternoon, so I rang him and he was llike... I have no license and I'm not driving my car, my borther has it and doesn't work anywhere near Springwood LOL! Busted!

I wonder what his bro was up do.

I have seen Ryans Fairlane all over the place (he gets around) and Pauls ED, usually 4 doors up from MY girlfeinds house LOL! Like Origin night.

How come no one spots my car? Maybe because its in the Garage 5 days a week LOL! Look out for a white Navara, that will stand out in the crowd (not!) :hihi:
