Haven't done it yet, but considered TRNNBRN (TURN N BURN). I heard an air force fighter pilot say that once...

Re: Cool License Plates?
Here in CA you can get repro black plates with up to 7 characters, but I looked and 311 LDY is still available and though I think these repro ones are silly, the actual black plates to get reassigned would cost about 6-7x as much so Im considering it

Re: Cool License Plates?

Re: Cool License Plates?
It was chosen for me.

I have mixed feelings about the stripes but all good, love my car either way with/without.

Bought it as it stands.

Re: Cool License Plates?
I lucked into getting a set of 1967 plates for my roadster GBN 141. Great Britain NOT 141. Only a roadster owner would understand. The plates are supposed to be white but mine have been sitting in the barn for much too long!
Not a good plate for anyone you like, but I couldn’t pass up photographing the second one. The deer head ball cover is a nice touch
