Default Just some funny and interesting things i have observed on the road.

That numberplate has to be the most valuable part on that vehicle!


This is a numberplate on a Forklift at Footersville SA.


That sticker says "COULDN AFFORD A COMMY"


Didn't those plates belong on an E Series???


Check out the numberplate surround!


*Note these photos were either taken by me while passenger or stationary or by my girlfriend from the passenger side. If it was legal to hold a mobile phone or camera while driving i would have many more photos.

I'd put my money on it that all photos were taken in the northern suburbs too so it explains a lot!

Isn't it funny how badging can make a person feel good.

Nismo stickers on Honda's.
Fake Turbo badges on VL's.
Tickford badges on non-tickford cars
Lancers with Evo kits (and badging)
GTR badging on GTS-t Skylines
"Brembo" "Apexi" "NOS", etc, stickers on a car that sports none of this gear

Weird isn't it?

It is strange some of the things you see:

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

Having those 351 Ford surrounds on that VT is just blasfamy! :

Lmao over the tonker truck on the back of the semi, what a ripper.

All he needs now is for a cop to pull him over and say "I believe you maybe towing excessive weight on your trailer sir".

Sorry to say SPK-250, 1 was taken on Taunton Rd, 2 was in Regency Park, 3 and 4 were taken on the corner of Port Road and South Road and 5 was taken at the 5 ways intersection Gepps Cross. I bet i'd have alot more pics if i spent more time up north,

When in the Gobi Desert, I watched an old Russian sedan approaching us. The rear doors were totally removed, and going through the car, across where a back seat should have been were a heap of 20 foot wooden beams.

Was the funniest thing I had ever seen. They were jammed in there really good, and piled to the roof.

More recently, I could have sworn I saw a red Mazda 3 here in Sydney yesterday with what looked like a mini Falcon V8 bonet buldge.
