Default What a waste of a plate

Check this out - a custom VIC plate "TWRHSV"...on a Mitsubishi 380. Hopefully this is just temporary and the guy is just waiting on delivery of a new Senator or something. But why would you put it on a 380 in the meantime??

Maybe it's stroked and blown, and it stands for "This Will Rip HSVs" ^^

Maybe the rumours of Mitsubishi coming into the V8 series are true then...

I would have thought HSV would have had the rights to these plates - the TWR part is particularly important as this is frmm where HSV originated (Tom Walkinshaw Racing).

maybe to hold the plates and not have to pay storage fees? makes perfect sense to me.

He probably tried to make some money on them and got done asking for to much, So he's stuck with them.

Maybe if he doesn't mind people trying to decide between whether he is a tighta$$ or a dill. It's almost as bad as those people that put "vehicle frequently sideways" stickers on their front wheel drive hatchbacks.

I don't know Troy, i'm not one to endorse shelling out money unnecessarily on things like storage fees - but at the very least I would only put these plates on a (Holden) Commodore as a "storage mule" until I picked up the HSV that they would eventually be fitted to.

That's as close as he could get to a HSV?
