This is on a burgundy R31 skyline right? I saw this parked in a street in knoxfield the other day and thought WTF are those plates doing on that!!! I was spewing I didn't have a camera on me.
They wouldn't be original issue on that car as that plate series dates back to the 60's.

in terms of the engine names, there was Barra 182, but there was also Barra 220 (for the SOHC V8)
but before the BA was released, the whole model was code named Barra.

What do you mean was? There is the Barra 190 (I6), Barra 245T (I6 Turbo), and the Barra 230 (V8)

Even worse when you see Hyundai across the windscreen of Excels, or Mitsubishi on a Magna. Since when is owning one of those brands something to advertise. I'd be ashamed to drive either.

I saw a black Porshe Boxster with the plates 'DRBOX'. Couldn't figure out if he was a just a Doctor who owned a Boxster, or if perhaps he was a Gynecologist.

In Melbourne a couple of years ago I saw a black XR8 with the number plate RIP HSV.
There's a camel jockey who drives a 5 series BMW with the number plate COMPO in sydney, he's mates with the guy in the Hilux with the plate LEB69U. I've seen them both at the cosgrove road carwash.
Also seen the following number plates at the airport: JET747, FLY767, BOEING, AVI8OR, B747, A330 (****er).

That's not so weird but how much do you think he paid for those? Or how long do you think he's had them?
