Number plate games

[DerekD]

I used to spend a lot of time on the road and number plates gave me something to read. Back when all hire cars in Sydney only had three numbers (i.e. HC 123) I started ticking off a list from HC 000 to HC 999. I think I got about 70% of the number plates on the list until they changed to four numbers (i.e. HC 1234).

I'd heard of someone who was working their way through number plates based on the numbers consecutively when the plate format was different. Find 000, then 001, then 002 and so on.

These days I have a new game. I try and find number plates that are clever or make me laugh in some way. For example getting your name on a personalised plate just by ordering it (say "ROBERT") isn't really clever but if someone else has taken it and you find a work around (e.g. R0B3RT or better still RO 83 RT) I think it is clever. Extra clever when you are able to work it in within the standard formats (e.g. XXX 123, XX 12 YY, XXX 12 Y) and not go personalised. I've been putting together a list of Australian plates that I have seen (either personally or in media). I thought I'd share it. Some are just clever, others are sports, name, car or work related. Hope some of these put a smile on your face. I put the plate first and then an explanation or commentary after.

That is true regardless (with the heavy winds last weekend I didn't even get around to wetting a line but all was not lost as I went to a fishing shop instead). I live in the lower north shore and used to work in Kurnell. About 45 minutes in the morning and 45 minutes to an 1 hour and 15 in the the afternoons. These days I work in Matraville so it is 25 to 40 minutes each way depending on the traffic. Gives me something to do. One new number plate to the list every few days slowly adds up. Then there are the ones I've forgotten by the time I get to entering them.

You made me think of the old eye spy game as kids when the old man was trying to keep myself & my brother occupied on those long driving trips 🙂 

I here you DD, I look at some of those plates & think..................what the 🤔

I was thinking something entirely different but then sometimes I have a sick mind. It might have made sense on a Renault, where 10F meant 10 francs.

[Berleyguts]

My son had ZZ22TU on his last Nissan Silvia (a S15 / 200SX). Apparently the sound the turbo makes on boost. He let the plates go when it was written off (not on the road - it rolled down the driveway 😂) and now he’s got another Silvia (this time a S14 / 180SX), he wishes he still had them. They were apparently snapped up and are now on a VL(?) Commodore.

I have another one I saw on a hot pink fiat with a very attractive man inside , it's not appropriate for this site, I don't know how RTA let it go be very funny when you put the pieces together.

Piece of cake for your analytical mind Derek. I suppose it's a worthwhile pastime to play in the great metropolis, though it would be really boring here. When I was working I could often drive 60 kms to work without seeing another vehicle.

I can't help but feel sorry for the fish which you target Derek...what chance do they have up against that brain?

Not that it's interesting or really mean much, but, recently I was in Sydney and I was behind the very next number plate to mine, everything the same except one number more, must have been registered immediately after mine, at the same office.

Derek,

you really need to go fishing again.

Looks like we need those long badges  with car  model, engine size, cylinders, injection, transmission, fuel type, aircon info etc etc etc from 80th back - would save over $400 in annual fees on custom plates to some people.

[Berleyguts]

There is a local glass company in Port Stephens and the owners are obviously Irish as the Irish flag is painted on their van. The rego plate is CRAICD.

Cracked and "The Craic" - double meaning and that is really clever.

Thanks for sharing that one.
