Question

Don;t know if this one's taken, but it would be great for an enthusiast of a certain sport.

NE14 10S

HINT: There's a club in W'boro you can join if you like playing this sport.

Some of you may have noted a friend's little pickup roaming the Moutonborough area wearing "GOHOME". He got it in response to a particularly nasty part time neighbor!

This isn't quite in line with Vanity plates -- however my wife and I are extremely curious if this individual is a member of the forum ---

In Mass as you know there are many different "cause" plates. Where the added fee for the registration go to a particular cause i.e. Red Sox Plates go to the Jimmy Fund, Olympic symbols - support the US Olympics, etc .......

Amongst the many, recently they finally issued Breast Cancer Plates (which is very near & dear to my wife and I) and now both our vehicles carry them.

Anyway -- last Fall we spotted "BC 1" outside C J Avery's which obviously is the individual who initiated the drive for this series of Plates ......

Are you out there amongst us here in the forum??

___________

Any guess as to the profession of this plate's owner?

B4DKCME

On a vintage Ford belonging to a Star Wars fanatic. The wookie rides shotgun!

MLNEIUM

Any guess what type of car would be sporting this plate?

MBALMD

Dead on with #1.

#2 - think Ford in the 1960s.

#3's right on the profession, but the question was what kind of car.

Ya still got a chance.

The color of the car with the OUI OUI plate's still out there.

A few more:

The plate of a very clever enthusiast of a certain sport.

IX FE

Hint: Think Roman numerals and chemical symbols from the periodic table of elements.

The owner of this plate may be a fan of the Andrews Sisters (This is a toughie!)

It is correct. Must've been postin' when the correct response came down the pike.

It is a Crosby tune, isn't it? I always think Andrews Sisters, but it was a joint endeavor, I think released as a Crosby record.

Maybe - especially if you're heading down the Mt. W Auto Road in one of them

Them with kids might have some alternatives.

Since this has strayed off the Winni-path, I'm going add a couple...

"SHDOWFX" (Hint: named for a famous fictional horse.)

"22MANY" (Guess what kind of vehicle that was on....)

"NH2STAY" (Self-explanatory. The vehicle is registered here in Alton.)

"SWTNLW" (Hint: It comes in a pink packet.)

"STOL3N" (Self-explanatory. Imagine being the cop that has to call that one in!)

"IFARTED" (No. I didn't. But how did they get that approved?)

Which leads to the personalized plate I had on my Ford Festiva in high school....

"FUBB" (Yes, it's an acronym. Google it if you don't know it.)

Default Vanity Plates

To stretch this topic out a little, try going to Google and entering the following: PL8SPK. Several responses will come up, including a book entitled PL8SPK Vanity Plates Retell The Classics. In reality, this is a rather challenging book with some rather difficult vanity plates. It is a great table top book, but watch out for scratching, the front and back covers are license plate metal.

I applied for the vanity plate DOO DOO one time. It ended up being denied. Any guesses?

I currently have the plate NOSNHOJ on my car. It is pretty easy for most people to figure out, but I have heard some pretty funny guesses as well.

Post Doctor DK

1) "DRDK", a clever plate, but on a frequently off-course/oft-damaged Corvette at our Driver Schools.

(I'd see a different "DR").

2) My own sports-racer had "2-LTR-6" for a plate. What car would that be on, and why would a "two-liter-six" engine be remarkable in that car?

(Member Mee'n'Mac would know. )

I still remember watching the live footage of the chase. The announcer was describing a 'slow white bronco.'

My first thought was the cops were in pursuit of John Elway.

OK, I'm out of ammo. Sorry if I led this thread astray. I'll blame it on the little boy in me...

Seems I can't make him leave. Wouldn't be fair. Afterall, he was there first.

Besides, him and me, we have a lot of fun together.

While the French might say "yes yes", I'm guessing the owner went for a more phonetic interpretation, "wee wee", thus making the car yellow.

Yup. And that's a real life NH plate.

The others may or may not exist here in NH. I found them some time back on a site listing interesting plates. Don't think the state of origin was listed.

Here's a rude one. It's an amended version of the real life one (don't want to push the envelope on language):

2 U WERCS

Imagine being the trooper radioing HQ to note they're in pursuit of a car with one of these plates:

MISSING

NONE

GONE
