If anyone else is interested, I got this tag off the internet at:unflags.com.

BTW When I ordered it came in less than a week, it cost me $8.95, including $2 shipping.

That reminds me - a co-worker in Austin, TX - also a pilot - has EJECT. He used to work for American Airlines, so he was in flyboy heaven...

Cheers,

Saw a plate this morning in my building's parking lot: "HR-BUS"; the plate was on a pretty slick van, one of the big ones with what looked like lots of extras, seemed to have a Lotus skirt around the van. The owner or driver runs a business, but I can't say I have ever seen him transporting his staff in his very slick bat-mobile van.

I have got TRUBR1T on my car. I used to have it on an old MGB, transfered it to a Jag but now its on my Audi. Does not carry the same message on the german car, but still gets a few laughs.

As a young bobby in Bristol in the 60s, I was asked for directions by a smooth gent in a brown Roller, as he drove off I noted the plate as CG1......yes it was Cary Grant, Bristol's most famous son.

And one night on patrol I stopped PRO1 just to see who it was, it was Ray Reardon the snooker player and ex-bobby himself, he autograhed my official pocket-book.

Now in NC I paid $40 to get King Cog and I'm getting Haldaman for my El Camino.

Somebody may have objected to this tag plate. Or it may have just been personal

Just saw a VA plate, "FROM YOU". I thought the first three characters had to stand separately from the other four characters ... oh well, might be wrong.


... forgot to add that the car was a nice BMW ... prezi from de udder 'alf?

Default Re: What’s in a car's number plate?

Checked yesterday.

BOILER is available, surprisingly, $25.

Seems it must be done.
