Friends of ours are British and went home to England for Christmas with their grown children.
They brought me back a pair of English license plates for my collection![]()
Now I will have one for the garage wall collection and one for my Mini (when I GET my Mini)
Maybe, I'll check with DH....(invisible ink...I'm not in here, supposed to be hanging out with DH)Cruisin said:no, got any old ones laying around going to waste

Cruisin said:A question for Mandy.
The license plates I received are large rectangular in shape about 6 x 12 inches or 15 x 30 cms.

Will it be just hubby and you on 010707?
Cruisin said:Yes, not bad.
Most of them were given to me in trade for a Hawaiin licence plate that I had. They are not very easy to get ahold of.
A friend found it in a recycling depot and pulled it out for me.
An older relative on Rick's side is an avid collector and he didn't have a Hawaii plate. I used to tease him about it all the time, that I had one and he didn't![]()
One day I decided that I would just give the Hawaiin plate since he was older than me and he would probably get a lot of enjoyment from it. I figured I might get it back somedayI told him to leave it to me in his will.

Anyways, in exchange for that one plate he gave me about 15 plates of states that he had extras of. THAT's why I have such a large collection already![]()
