I wonder if it'll end up on a white van. I've seen some odd licence plates on bog standard white vans recently - one of them seemed to be a Mercedes reference (91MERC or something daft like that, on a Nissan Bongo as I recall) and another seemed to indicate that the van was a "V8 monster" or some such reference, this one on a bog standard 90's hiace. From the condition of the vans in question I was thinking they had stolen the plates for use in petrol theft drive thrus.

Hahaha, I have actually seen similar cases of these no matching number plates on 'work' style vehicles. It makes no sense what so ever!
I think usually it comes down to the owners with absolutely no idea in general, which tend to be from the undesirable suburbs in South Auckland and the like.... or as you say stealing the plates to drive through the gas station's and not pay...
I actually had some interest in this plate on TM last week, but the 3 people asking questions were completely out to lunch offering less than half of what I'm asking for it - with a Trade Me name like 'blingbling34' for example it became quite clear who I was dealing with. So I black listed the 3 idiots, utter time wasters.

Haha quite possibly.
Nah just a Govt standard Issue plate. Over that 'look at me' plate thing.
Rather Invest the plate money into a set of headers.
Speaking of exhausts, I just picked up a system off an Audi RS6 4.2 V8 - Has stainless pipe (marvelous quality) 2.5" Dual 10" resonators and decent 2.5" oval straight through centre/offset mufflers with some hefty oval tips. Should sound the business when I plan to have it fitted to the Soarer mid August...
Probably going to stick with 2.25" for the rest of the piping and have a 'H' joiner pipe installed - I think that will sound the best.
