Anyone know this caprice?

[twoducks]

Hi guys/gals on the way home tonight spotted a VE caprice with a flag on the front, and the rego plates were a actual gold coloured crown. No number or letters just a crown. Went to grab my phone for a pic but its a crappy one, was exiting the freeway at about 115 so not the best pic. Just wondered if any one knew what it was?.

Cheers twoducks

[V-ahhh]

the pm or some other bloke high up in the food chain?

Hmm thought mabye Johnny , but there were no comcars or any others about. I was in front of it for about a 1klm or so. And believe it or not he was sticking to the speed limit..lol. Although he wasnt pertaining to the keep left unless overtaking rule..lol.
Any other ideas?

We're not quite sure how a parking inspector would write a ticket for a car with a numberplate that is a royal crown.

Such a plate, which usually denotes a car used by the Governor of NSW, the Governor-General or someone with a vice-regal connection, was on a swish Holden sedan parked illegally in a loading zone outside Woolworths' supermarket at Neutral Bay on Saturday.

However, the illegal parking didn't seem to bother a North Sydney Council ranger who came across it at 4.30pm.

Spike's spy reports that the driver returned from the supermarket carrying a bag of groceries, which he put in the car's boot. The driver was about to leave when a "smiling, friendly, North Sydney ranger arrived, utterly oblivious to a BMW stopped in a no-stopping zone across the road".

The Holden driver and the parking ranger had a quiet chat on the road, "do doubt comparing notes on the latest red spot specials at Woolies", adds our spy.

After a few minutes, there's still no sign of the dreaded ticket being written. Yet more smiles and friendly chit-chat before the driver gets back into the car and leaves the scene - ticketless.
