Some more street sightings, mostly from last month some time.

All 20 high-res pics can be viewed on my website :arrow: www.ozcarsightings.com

Firstly that 328GTS again - your probably sick of seeing it by now.

However he lives on the same street as me so I see him fairly often.....

996 Turbo Cab.

996 MkII GT3

- the first time I can remember blanking out a plate sitting on the dashboard.

Awesome blue 4200GT - with a 3200GT parked nearby (you can see it in the side shot)

SL600, V12 beast!

SLK55, finally back to my favourite location overlooking the city

E46 M3

Audi A8 - not very common here, and it's also Consular Corpe car.

I love the photo of SLK55 AMG

Top stuff as always! The SLK55's shot is brillant.. if only there wasn't that damn SUV beside it

still ice! BTW, I often notice "different" plates on some of the cars. Can I have some details? I mean, the most common one seem the small and black one, that can also have various sizes (see the 360CS), but there are also other ones (not talking about the CC). Just curious!

I was actually wondering when I'd get a question about this.

There are a ton of options regarding plates here, the standard one is the whats on my car for example

then you have a range of custom plates, here is a link to some of them :arrow: http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/licensing/plates/custom.html

and then

you have the new Euro-style plates like these :arrow: http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/licensing/e...europlate.html

There are other more obscure ones, but these are the most common.

Hope that helps.

Ah dang, so MANY ppl go for the white on black option!

I'd like to see some orange ones

Anyway... what an useless mess

it's true that it's nice to match car and plate, but still... BTW, are down there plates related to the owner, or to the car? I mean, when you change car you keep your plate like here or the plate stays on the car "forever"?

Haha, next time I see an orange one I will take a pic - regardless of the car its on.

The plates are related to the car generally, I'm currently selling my old car (the Commodore) and the custom plates will stay on that for the new owner.

However if I wanted to I could take those custom plates off and keep them, and put some standard ones on it and sell it like that.

Ok I see down there you basically can do whatever you want with your plates

it is the land of freedom afterall.

We're all convicts so rules are useless......

LOL! What about having two completely different plates on the same car? Or 4 plates, adding also two on the sides? I bet it is allowed

thanks Dingo for the infos about Aussie plates

for the cars
I like this one most, nice background aswell

The GT3 pictures are stunning, too bad the car is not alone on the pics

same for the SLK55
I had to look twice to find the 3200GT

Overall a very nice set of photos, thanks Dingo

I didn't know there were so many possibilities with the plates there in Oz!

I have seen quite a few of the Euro plates, but mostly on 'normal' cars - here is an example on an M Roadster:

To be honest I didn't notice it while taking the pics, only afterwards as I walked away. Its one I have posted before though, so no pics of it.

Nice pics of the 328, again

A nice M3... not seen many in such loud colours for a while.

Why has the 996 Turbo cab deiver put the hard-top on? Its not exactly winter in your hemisphere

Sexy GT3 too... much nicer than a bright red/yellow paint job

Finally, the SLK pic is fantastic. You have such great views of the city from across the water, it is such an amazing setting 8)

Thanks for posting/hosting 8)
