Registration Plates – I’d thought about having personal plates for a long time, getting my Corvette was the ideal opportunity – after all, it is my dream car so I want everything to be perfect.<\/p>\n
I wasn’t sure if I should have my name on the plate, I thought it could be annoying but after the first year with them, I knew there was no problem. I’ve only had good experiences. Very Occasionally someone calls out "Rob !" always very friendly and admiring the Corvette.<\/p>\n
One guy was talking on his mobile phone and asked me to give the engine a rev so his mate could hear it over the phone ! which I did. Kids are amazing, they know what a Corvette looks like, although they are fairly rare here in Australia. Heads turn wherever I go. That’s the kind of experience that owning a Corvette gives. People like to talk about the car, everyone knows what a Corvette is and thinks, like me, that they are very special.<\/p>\n
When I was young our phone number was 222. The bus I caught to school was number 202. Somehow the number 2 has always been associated with me. When we first got a telephone number in Cairns many years ago, I was lucky enough to be able to get one that ended in 222. It was only natural that the numbers on my personal plates would be 222 – I didn’t even think about it.<\/p>\n
