this talk actually reminds me of a weird idea i had where, if i were rich enough, i'd put a mini in to orbit. not for any reason other than it'd be cool.

i never thought about it any further than that - as to whether it's possible etc etc, just thought it'd make a bit of a funny spectacle.

hehehehe......you wanna see my plates???

TA-DA!

The blue slip instection was a breeze!!! The guy said his jaw dropped when he saw JAM....."The best presented car for a blue slip I have seen in years" was his comment. Not one thing was out of place :P

From there I went to the RTA, but on my way I remembered I had to get a green slip :roll: so I deviated to AAMI and got that sorted.

At the RTA I had my personal plates on hold for me (as above). They have been with me since 1993....on many cars. Originally they were destined for a Holden 308 V8 that I was restoring (hence the 5045cc number) but they never made it to a V8....and progressively over the years they have found their way onto smaller engined cars...until now they reside on a 1115cc car :lol:

JAM is turning heads EVERYWHERE....and you know what?!? I LOVE IT! :P

farken wikkid mate!! 8)

My wife was following me from the blue slip joint to the RTA, and there was a long road with 5 roundabouts....I was hitting 2nd at the roundabout, no brake, and powering though, leaving her for dead! :D JAM just eats up the road.... :P I love it! No rattles, thuds or squeaks.....Totally different driving experience from Pops. :lol: Honda stoppers are NICE 8) Exhaust is a bit loud though :x Might have to change that later on.

Hey Harley, I love the Fonz! Nice one mate!! 8)
