Just idle chat, off at a tangent:

I guess theres the law, and officialdom, and then there's reality.

I drove my last car (in UK) for 2 years with no front number plate - legal requirement in UK. Every club meet i went to folk said 'did it drop off??'

or similar, and telling me id be in trouble. i carried it in the boot (trunk), but didnt like the look - spoilt the front of the car imo. never pulled over, no problems. once had a traffic cop come over for a chat while we waited in the sliproad for a traffic jam to clear, then he went off to find out the problem, and drove all the way back round to tell me what had happenned. no mention at all. Ofcourse i dont drive like a maniac as my 5 year old is usually in the passenger seat, so maybe that helps.

SAMBO, Thanks for that, i did have a look at that sight and it looks good, it does seem a bit limited on what you can choose but if that's all there is i'm sure they'll do fine. Are they the static cling type and do you just remove them with water? Thanks again..........Rob.......

Finishline sell the static-cling vintage decals. I bought a set for my car without realising they were static-cling, but they don't "cling" very well to aluminium.

Sambo, can't say i remember that game but i'm only a baby. I'm going to try the finish line ones, they have the sponser decals i like and you get to choose your own number ( up to 2 digits). I hope the static cling holds well, i shouldn't have any problems i imagine if there for cobras they should stick at least to 200mph.

In NSW there's a $308.00 fine and loss of three points out of twelve. ( it takes 3 years to get them back) For an obstructed number plate
