every late model mercedes i've seen has a personalised number plate that makes no sence...

last couple i saw had 8-8888 and HHM :D

would these actually have some meaning to the owners or do they just have way too much spare cash laying around and want everyone to know about it?

yeah its late and im bored.... :action-smiley-069:

My g/f's parents ones are their initials followed by insignificant numbers. A thought, when they had thier's plated up from new, they just said to the dealer that it must include their specified letters but werent fussed about anything else so ended up with random numbers, possibly the same reason as the ones you have seen?

If you work in richmond you will see alottt of these.

Generally they are on mercs and stuff, but occasionally subaru's will have them but yeh, they basically consist of random numbers, normally set up like 878 787 or 121 212 , always the same 2 numbers in a sequence (occasioanly some like 878 121)

I don't get it i just assumed it's a rich person thing

yeah always see mercs and bmw's with 868 868 etc plates. see alot with euro plates aswell. but these are just weird...

remember seeing a black merc with [ 1 ] lol now thats a good number plate.

8 is lucky number for asians...

she wasn't asian though lol

oh, saw a commo with ONPAROL thought you could only have up to 6 :D

indeed. twas vic plates though.

must have read it wrong

tehy say taht we raed olny the fsrit and lsat lteter of a wrod and can dcepiehr wthaveer it is mneat to say.

maybe ONPROL or ONPARL

no vic places are 7 characters

Ferni - yep, plates still on an F360. I know him.

BTW - Snows and I saw a new Euro plate V MB 666 on an SLK 55. Cool plate, cool car. Also, a customer has 25 on his SL 55 - cooler plate, cooler car.

See... they are not all bad.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
