Was one of these;



But I suppose it is a bit of poetic justice - how many Trans Am fronts were grafted onto Holdens and Valiant Drifters over the years....

Wishful thinking on the owners part perhaps?

Probably owns a GT but doesn't want to cough the plates up to the rego office cos the GT's not running/registerable yet. Although it's still quite a fail!

7 character plates arent common in Qld. They usually auction them off and that one probably would have fetched a bundle.

Apparently 'PORSCHE' went for $40k.

considering its a qld plate, they only do very limited runs of 7 digit plates at random times and they are 3k!... so the plates worth more than the car, he would get a fair amount if he tried to sell it on the market aswell being what it is and being a 7 digit plate, which are very rare in qld... as you cant just order them when you want

yeah, the sale price of a GT (depending on the car of course) with those plates would get a few $$

probably worth 6mths of embarassing paparazzi style photos as such, until the plates are fitted to the appropriate car

They are Qld Prestige plates - pay for them once and you own them for good - whether or not they fitted to a car

Spotted this bloke and his EpicFailMobile(tm) the other night!

There was an unusual sobriety about him.
