I had "GT 54 GT" on my BA GT and also "TRBO 6" on my BA XR6 turbo. Never did try and sell them though, just handed them back to the RTA. Doubt I would have got much for them anyway. There was a time when people were paying stupid money for plates, but I think that period of lunacy is over.

There is a Merc around Melbourne parked down the side streets, near where I used to work, that had the number plate 1.

Here's this number plate owned by prominent Brisbane businessman Stefan Ackerie

Theres a fella where i live with a sweet as 350z with the license plate "suit up"

[chrisfpv]

There's a red HSV E series Clubsport R8 with the plates "HSVR8" around my area.

There's also a VE Omega that lives near me with the number plates "JAMES"

[whynot]

There is a plumber's Ute getting around my area with the rego 125HIT. Bonus points for it being part of the standard QLD rego sequence.

[flappist]

Local motorcycle has a lic. plate 05 HIT, I have a pic of it somewhere.

I Have seen a nice red mustang at my local shops a few times with the plate "HOLDON"....
Always makes me look twice.

[Phildo]

It's a tad pathetic, but I actually keep a camera in my taxi and take photos of things like this.

My collection of licence plate photos.

[stev3n]

Saw a yellow Mustang with HORSOM plates.

Also saw a Lamborghini with plates "L"

[Landau Stable]

I've got GDDYUP on my Mustang. I was amazed that they weren't taken.

Sitting back enjoying a drink in Brissy and across the road, one beautiful Gun Metal Grey Maserati with a woman driver sitting there at the lights with the number plate . . . V-GINA . . . boys I almost had beer come out my nose!

A guy at work has " I DO 69 " It took him 2 years of fighting to get them but in the end he won it becasue that was his name and the year he was born

Great story i always ask him to tell it.

Cant remember the model of ford its on i think its an EL

[4.0i OHC]

In Queensland, the number plate "FORD I6" is surprisingly still available. Someone might want to snap that one up!

I can't believe no one has brought up that A Current Affair segment last night about Garry Rodgers (the V8 team owner) and his fight to keep his number plate which said "HOON".

Pretty sure it's their distribution warehouse and NOT open to the public.

(apologies to the OP for off topic)

There was a woman many years back (late 1980's) in the USA...New York I believe...who racked up a simply staggering total of unpaid parking fines, all because of her licence plate.

She ran a "temping" agency...temporary secretarial workers...and her licence plate simply said "TEMP", the term by which these workers are generally called..."Temps".
The problem was that when a policeman or traffic officer could not find a plate or a car had thier version of a dealer plate on it (a "temporary plate"), they would write down "Temp" in the space on the ticket for "registration number".
So once the fines mounted up to a big enough amount, the bailiffs came calling...

Hi

I lucky enough to be able to order this combination for my XE 351 S-Pac Ute from PPQ when they just released this new style of plate.

Cheers

I drove past one of those new import vans going around in Parramatta. Big 10 seater or something full of young Indian dudes. They looked like funny characters the way they were carrying on. Then I saw the number plates and though now that cool! Gold on black, "Curies".

I love it, same methodology as the Wogboy movie. Pure awesomeness!

Clever!! You have to get creative when you're limited to 7 letters/numbers on those premium plates...

I remember when the Queensland plates went from letters first to numbers first, and they chose the changeover for the OOO-000 plate. It went to a "random draw" as to who ended up with it, and whatdyaknow, it went to a government minister...how lucky!
