I’m glad I was able to put you guys together to come up with this mutually beneficial deal :D
Perhaps you could write a book - the art of the deal :rolleyes:

Or at least have someone else write it for you...

Got the new tips today, they're absolutely immaculate, thanks Tony.

All being well (I hope, lol), they should be fitted at the weekend, I'll post some pictures as soon as I can to update this thread. :D

Nice. Lovely to see plates that are not ridiculously contrived. I hate the contrived plates but would be happy to have 'RR52 WYN' on mine.

Have you won £52 million on the Euromillions and bought a Rolls Royce, then? :geek::rolleyes::D:cool:

If only - It is my initials (2/3 letters) - birth year and 3/12 letters of my double barrelled surname. Surname has been in the family for 100+ years so we couldn't go trendy and add my wife's surname and make it triple barrelled.

Would be impossible to get a proper plate for me and it would have to be 2x longer :shock:.

Closest I've had was 'RWQ 200' on my 200 series Landcruiser and was I about to purchase 'SLK 350' for my SLK when we decided to leave Oz...

I got a t-shirt with the same expression on it from my boys for my birthday last year.

Love it! :D:D

Here’s a little number might do someone for a Christmas present. Lol. View attachment 54424

If that wasn't a hoodie I'd be after one, but as my hobby is woodworking the hoodie is just a sawdust trap - but the kangaroo pouch is great! I have 1 sweater (from Kangaroopoo) that has the pouch and is not a hoodie, can I find another - been looking for 3 years with no joy!!

Sadly, the new tips could not be done at the weekend as there is a lot more faffing about involved than was originally envisaged.

A little (ok, a lot), more prep is required :rolleyes: so, it'll be a couple of weeks before I can get the time off work to get it done.

I'll post the pics as promised as soon as I can. :p
