lots of pictures of cars with number plates on the web and in magazines, big woop!
Can you drive a car in public with your plates covered? |

Not many XB Ex racers around, I'd put the sign writing back on if it were me.

either way, it doesn't matter - covering the plates of others cars is just showing some respect. it doesn't matter if most do not care if their plates are shown - some do not want them shown, but because the vast majority of the world do not care about anyone but themselves, they refuse to delete them |

Somehow I don't think that the owner has a problem with the number plate thing. If he did, he wouldn't take it to a car show like the Hardtop Anniversary at Echuca, which is open to all the public on Sunday!
There is currently a picture of it from Echuca in the latest Street Machine magazine and it was seen on Classic Restos 2 weeks ago.

it is much harder to get addresses from rego plates nowadays, but it doesn't take much to delete the plates to make it that little bit harder |

personally, i like it how it is. by keeping the race paintwork only, i think it stands out in a classy way. the stickers are good, but could be considered tacky, particularly because the mechanicals and interior no longer resemble the original
