So,why no V?

I believe this practice is to get a personalised plate already in use. e.g. "DOG" is already taken? then "I DOG I" is available, as well as well as the other substitutions zero for O and so forth.

I have seen the 1I1I1 and various different combinations of that, but only on cars.

I think everyone on here should get the 1I combinations of motorbike plates and then we would be sweet for speed cameras probably.

I find it quite odd that they actually let these go actually.

Mate - I suggested that back when this site was only about 40-strong. Only issue is, I still have an issue with forking out 500 clams for waht is, essentially, a tax certificate... still, if enough were keen, I would go for it. Might also be construed as some sort of statement about being one-eyed!

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO

Even though I live in christchurch I am a naki man through and through. Best week of my life down here this week, friday's game will be with me for a long time yet

P.S. Most of the people down here aren't even one-eyed, I refer to them as no eyed, your lucky if you get a one-eyed one

If you guys are trying to wind me up, you're doing very well! (Loads AK47)

I go back to my original hobbyhorse premise that the purpose of a rego plate should be to "clearly and unambiguously identify a vehicle".

Just as a side issue has anyone else noticed that there was never a VD Commodore released? How do you reckon it would have sold?

Well, it would have made a great patrol car.

Syphillitically!

On the subject of model descriptors I was amused that Ford with the dreaded (barks like a dog) AU Falcon were so enamored of this that they went to "series III" before they changed it. Previously Ford had no qualms in changing the model descriptor every time they changed the grill! They also deserve some sort of marketing prize for running the same model largely unchanged for 30 years. Whoops, sorry, this is a BIKER forum...

No matter how many cyl heads they stick on the poor old block it won't be as good as the original 170,she was a sweet motor - and the 250 with max torque at 1600rpm was very strong across an intersection - I had a 250 in my XC instead of the first attempt at the Xcrossflow....that thing had some tow...oh,bikes,yeah,right.

[bungbung]

When did the crossflow 250 come out? my XC ute(s) had x-flow heads.

[Motu]

XC was the first Xflow,maybe late XB - this was the cast iron head job,it was crap so they made an alloy one...oops,that was no good so the Japs designed a better one,not saying it was a good head,just better than the ones before.Then a couple of SOHC ones and now a DOHC - but it's still the old block from the 60s,updated of course.

The old red rocker cover 250 was a grunter - torque converter stall speed is 1600 rpm,with max torque at the same revs it all happened when you floored it,the Xflows had max torque at 2500rpm and could rev higher,but were slower off the mark.Taking off on a wet hill with a 250 was tricky cause they just broke away real easy.

It's my thread - I started it about car plates remember.

I only miss 2 of my cages.

Hilman Hunter (mildly modded motor) 1800 First ever car.
And my S pac XE.


Currently got my eye open for a low price ute with either the 4.1 or an 8 in it or the 8 in an XA. Primary function to be driven 1/2 doz times a year when I can't be arsed with the weather or gear, and when I want to move things bigger than a backpack. Also it would be nice to be able to add my name to the register on the other thread.

Still ride to work most days but some days it would be nice to have a choice.
