About time you did that Matt!

It will be nice to see it going again. Does main roads make it difficult to get old plates reinstated?

if you have personalised plates in QLD you own them.

cost you the extra dollars to get personalised plates obviously.

Can be a real pain if they get stolen and you want new copies.

Sometimes they wont give you copies at the risk that theres two sets out there.

they even have their own site [url]ppq.com.au[/url]

I like the look of this red one with the chin spoiler - its got it going on!!! Kinda reminds me of a Ferrari Dino!! 8)

Hey Matt, will your "soon to be turbo injected twin cam 16v 1415cc stroker powered bullet" keep up with the "turbo hayabusa powered, sequential gearboxed, mid-mounted purpose-built road-going hillclimber"????

Sorry, just wanted to know that?

Tricky
P.S. Had a dream we ran it at Pikes Peak!! BTW - the Marcos looks fantastic!!

Yeah the red one is certainly nice, tasteful & elegent yet stil mean looking enough :-)

& no i don`t reckon the turbo Bimmer would keep up ith the turbo Bussa powered lightweight beast,,,, maybe on the highway tho :-)

Oh!!! & yes,,, yes,,, yes,,, Pikes Peak would just be sooo Nice :-) :-) :-) I`m pretty sure they will be pulling my Lotto numbers out of the box tomorow night so i`d reckon Pikes is a Go :-)
