Default happy day for me

i just scored my old number plates back. i just checked the rta website and they were available. i let them go about 13 years ago and just finnaly got them back. i even offered to buy them when i spotted them a few years back but was turned down. now i scored them for the rta fee.
they are "BIGBLK" for my xy bigblock project. i am happy as a pig in .
although i have had these in storage for 3 years now and just paid for another year.

Small world isn't it. Here is a photo of my garage a few years back, with the plates on my brothers XY GT.....I was surprised when he handed them back as well, as I would have payed the extra for that sort of car....Anyway good to see someone making use of them again.



My coupe is the one with the slicks on it, yet we are changing his clutch after a drag day at WSID.... :

Sweet plates!! Very few would be silly enough to try traffic light drags with those on. What's NSW charge for them per year?
