Spotted this a while ago in Adelaide. I think i mentioned it somewhere else but just found the pics.
Am i missing something obvious here or is it another case of 'close my eyes and pretend...."? It is the 'fast' version of the mazda, i'll give her that credit.
meh shes proberly just holding them on that car so they dont pay storage fee till they put it on a hsv...
Going where no late model stato/caprice has gone before.... GAME ON!!
Could also be initials?
ahh is that how it works there? so it's easier to put them on another car, then switch it back etc than just keep them on the shelf in the shed for a bit? never dealt with it before so wouldn't know. Funny regardless.
This is Adelaide for you, bet thats in the deep south of Adelaide too![]()
i know thats what they do in nsw... because if they arnt on a car they need to be stored... and u have to pay to have them stored or somone else can get them

In SA you just pay a yearly fee for the rights to the plates.
It wouldn't matter if they were on a car or not, the cost would be the same.
Chances are he's just a moron!
While were on it, HSV did make an Astra in the early years, aswell as a jackaroo, and i think there doing the astra again in the new models!

Makes sense that its a southerner
Like i said, doesn't make sense why the plates were on a car. The only reason you'd do that is to physically get the plates. If your first purchasing the plates, but not putting them on a car, they'll only give you the agreement. Which is why when i bought my wagons plates, i put them on my VL (before the wagon had been changed to SA rego) and then transferred the VL back to its normal plates, otherwise i would only get an agreement, and no plates.
Theres also a good way to get 'spare' plates, for our wall, or a different colour scheme, and thats let the plates expire, and 'purchase' them in the new colour you want. It cost you $255 every 12 months regardless of if its a new agreement or continuing the existing agreement.
I did it this way so i have 2 sets of plates for my international.

Its A Mazda!
maybe the plates are for when the mps grows up, a bit like what happened to a mate of mine.(well after reading this maybe not a mate anymore!!)
he was looking for a 4 banger turbo (for the wife) and was gonna get the HSV Astra (for the wife), then found out the MPS was quicker so he i mean she got that,
he swears it was the wifes but the wife didnt want that car but he i mean she ended up with it anyway, the funny part is the so called wifes car got sold for him to get a VY GTS.
