I've seen a 4wd wheel cover on it which says 'Have you seen Mike Hunt?' Then it has a picture of a car in it, haven't seen it since I changed jobs but used to see it all the time, always got a giggle out of it.

I think “offence” is the word you’re looking for. A fence is the one you haven’t painted yet. :hihi:

There is also a flatbed towing company here in Perth named "Camel Tow"

And a Saab repair shop with the name " Keith McCracken" Lucky he wasn't named Phil.
