747 CAP
The number is a normal Qld. plate, 3 numbers & 3 letters.
I bought a new Toyota 3 1/2 years ago & I got a bit of a surprise, when I saw the No. plate, 717 FAQ, I didn't mind the 717 bit, but the "Grievence Committee" wasn't real keen on the, FAA Q,
bit.
After a couple of months after much ribbing, from the guys, I handed the plates in for some new ones.
What did I get,,, 777 GLA, no one ribbed me on that one, although, having never flown a 777, only DC 9's & a few types of Boeing 's that was OK.
I now have 2 personalised plates and 1 for sale on PPQ, I am pretty sure you cannot get the normal plate as a PP.
This guy could have nothing to do with aviation.
Cheers

Angle of Attack; Bet you that you cannot beat my s***box!! A '74 Mod TA 22 Celica with 480,000km on the clock!
On it's third engine, currently a worked twin cam which runs best on avgas; paintwork that looks like it has been driven down between rows of orange trees (surprise surprise!!) and more than a few spots of rust!!
Still goes like hell and I would'nt swap it for anything..........unless it was a 1992 2.5lit 6cyl Twin Turbo Toyota Supra
You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

Really guys, who cares? Your reaction to this kind of thing says a lot more about you than it does about the 747-CPT.
If someone is proud of what they do, who the hell are you to say they shouldn't display it?
Could be a gift, could be a joke, could be a coincidence, could be the driver wants to say "look at me", could be he's a ******, who cares, you will never know unless you meet him, he might be the nicest bloke in the world.

Puddy Cat,
To true, that was what I was alluding to.
If you lot ever found out our 2 Mobile No.'s, that is, The Grievance Committee's" and mine, I would be in for a bit of a razz, I don't mind, at least I have flown them.
Cheers

DeltaSix;
Wrong!!!
Regrettably I'm a full time orange picker and part time pilot. Wish like hell that it was the other way round but.........
And we don't have regular vehicle inspections here in SA 'though one of the local Coppers shakes his head sometimes when he sees my car!
Robroy; Likewise with my mobile number! (check your pm's)

Well this thread was really just supposed to be a bit of fun, but I can report that it was definitely personalised, because it was a slim-line black & white plate on a big black merc, obviously the owner is a complete tosser! applehead's big black merc would never have such a plate stuck to it, gift or not!

Dear Skysista,
No, SLIM-LINE plates indicate personalised plates! Idiot! And BTW, no one cares what your 'sista' drives! While you're at it, what does your mum drive, and what are her numberplates?
Padlock time???

Applehead,
I'm not even going to stoop to your level by resorting to insults. The only reason I posted was some earlier commenters didn't think it was possible to end up with '747' purely by chance.
I never said anything about 'personalised plates', so why don't you re-read my comment before you start slinging off at me.
Seeing as YOU were the one who started this thread, you obviously cared enough about what the guy in the Mercedes/BMW/whatever was driving.
I suggest YOU get a life, and if you don't want comments, don't start a topic on it!!!!
