It is kinda obvious but when you figure it out DON'T reply with the answer, just leave a comment if you want to. Let others have a guess.
I photoshopped them into one image so click to enlarge & have a guess. I saw these 2 a few weeks ago in the carpark at my sons school. They were both there again today & I couldn't resist taking a pic. What's the chances of having these 2 parked near each other. They were obviously from the same dealer....mmm...weird!

I think I know the answer. On a side note, the one on the right almost looks like it has a chop top

The cars are virtually identical OK. The angle on which I took the photo's is a little different, but not the answer. Also has nothing to do with the surroundings, just the cars & there are only 2 things that set them apart from each other. Just don't look too close.
Am I seriously stumping you guys with this? |

I've actually seen this before
Also pretty sure a pic has been posted on these forums of 2 XRs (maybe not XRs but that body shape) with same thing, with only a single difference. |

Had a case in Adelaide on Monday, deadbeat flogged a ute and trailer (with tooks) from work site, police on tail very quickly.. now this is where it gets weird. set of traffic lights the deadbeat leaps out of stolen ute jumps across medium strip into a Mazda ute passenger seat this ute then rolls the cop who chased the deadbeat (cop wasn't badly hurt) but the ute had copied number plates of identical ute that was for sale on Gumtree 2 weeks earlier.
Opps cats out of the bag

Well it's the first time I've ever seen this type of thing. I just thought it was a bizarre coincidence to have both parked up in the same carpark, in the same town, in the same state.
The ute thing is bizarre too. Some people really do think outside the square. Imagine the look on the face of the owner of said ute on gumtree, when a couple car loads of "D's" show up at his house & accuse him of running down a cop! |

Well I'm prepared to give the jig up.
The 2 numbers on the plates are the only difference...or so I thought. Corpse 32 was nice enough to PM me & point out that there's also a plug fitting on the left vehicle,  , I confess I hadn't noticed = FAIL! The story is that the owners of these 2 Mazda's both work at my sons school. The first time I saw them they were actually parked right next to each other. Believe me I did a double take. They plates are not photo shopped as some suspected, they are genuinely 2 separate cars. Obviously the dealer that had them must have put rego' on them at the same time along with a few other cars. |

I picked what you were referring to right at the start, but thought you must have been referring to something completely different, so didn't comment.
I'm not sure it's that much of strange occurrence. Lots of dealers 'batch' their cars for registration purposes, meaning that the plates allocated for that batch are consecutive. If you then happen to have two similar coloured model cars in that batch, then they'll end up with similar number plates,. perhaps even consecutive. As an example, when my old man bought his EF Falcon back in 1995 it was registered as NID276. Obviously the dealer had another car identical to his in the same registration batch as there was an identical car running around with the rego plates of NID277. Same colour and same variant. Still see that car running around town occasionally, and it reminds me of both my old man's car (my sister now has it in Melb) and subsequently my old man, who passed away 4 years ago.

That's nothing. Whilst I was waiting for my euro plates to arrive, my plates on my RS250 Megane were YFD 225. After a couple of weeks I was driving thru the city and this little Suzuki Alto pulls up next to me from the same dealer (the dealer was a combined Renault/Suzy dealer) with YFD 226. Considering the dealer was in Ringwood nearly 35k from the city, I thought that was a pretty decent coincidence.
