Show me your numberplates and what they mean to you

Postby Guy_Coles » Wed Dec 18, 2013 9:31 pm

I had MC.471 for decades and my ex insisted that Cars should have a name (Her Yaris was called Bubble).

After a while we came up with May Cee from the old plates and it's stuck ever since. I refused to be gouged by the RTA - now RMS for their exorbitant profiteering (please don't get me started) but they were available after 3 years of looking so I grabbed them Fukit:

She's been known world wide by that name for years, so why not advertise

Wanted an MX5 plate, and 55 looked better to me than the others.

Meaning is kinda boring "An MX5"

Has an added benefit of alot of personalised plates in QLD denote the person's initials, and their year of birth so I'm the youngest looking "58 year old" on the road! 8)

Entirely to do with my usual state of mind. Nothing to do with the cricket.
