I'm sure that TOPXR8 used to be on a Black XR8 Ute? I've seen it quite a bit!

I saw on the western ring road coming home one night the licence plate TRISHT, I think it's meant to be Trish T but I so read that incorrectly.

There's a Hiace van getting around geelong with VITO.07 on it. Tipping the guys last van was a Mercedes Vito.

Also saw a twin cab triton ute with KTM-525 on it. Hmmm. Yeh.

Also used to see a guy at a milk bar with GT xxx cant remember the numbers that followed, but was on a sigma. Always thought the guy was a sandwhich short, but later found out GT was his initials.
