I'm sure that TOPXR8 used to be on a Black XR8 Ute? I've seen it quite a bit!

do people think you have to use personalised plates if you have them even if they do not suit the car at all?

I saw on the western ring road coming home one night the licence plate TRISHT, I think it's meant to be Trish T but I so read that incorrectly.

There's a Hiace van getting around geelong with VITO.07 on it. Tipping the guys last van was a Mercedes Vito.

Also saw a twin cab triton ute with KTM-525 on it. Hmmm. Yeh.

Also used to see a guy at a milk bar with GT xxx cant remember the numbers that followed, but was on a sigma. Always thought the guy was a sandwhich short, but later found out GT was his initials.

Once again though, your last name could be windsor, or your company could be called windsor, it's really just because you read it to be an engine that you take it that way, so it isn't really that strange...

But at least i can put them on any car i ever own and they will have some relevance. Otherwise you:

a) do as some of the above mentioned drivers and look like a total dik because you plates dont fit the car

or

b) leave them in the shed until you maybe 1 day buy another car they might be fitting to put on.

MEGT is the initials for a business, i used to look at that one and think it was strange till i worked it out, cant remeber the business name atm. they do apprenticeships and stuff


i have a friend who has GT ### cos his name is Gary T..... did look weird when he got an XR and had them on it but got used to it

MEGT is a recruitment agentcy.

BARRA 8 isnt that weird since BARRA was simply the codename for the BA.
