Okay, I spent a few minutes trying to search for what I remember as a very humorous front plate for a MINI. I Know I remember a pic of a tag that looked innocent when viewed from the front, but when viewed in a mirror had a double meaning.
Something like XE5 8RG? Anybody have a better memory than me? The nurses are late with my meds, as usual.

Wouldn't the letters have to be reversed as well?

How about "3M TA3"
"M005 M005"
"WOIS RUOY"
"TMC TMV" (Any guesses on that one?)

....STILL thinking about that last one.
But somewhere on here I know I saw a thread with a picture, unfortunately I was at work and they kinda frown downloading things while working at customer's pcs. Go figure, lol.

I saw the image too, earlier this week, (a black Ford in a rearview mirror). I just don't remember where it was. Have you tried looking in the Off Topic & Banter forum?

Found it in OT&B, entitled "Great Number Plate"...
a Beemer with "x32 lARO" for the plate

When you get old, the memory is the first to go...

So, it wasn't in the last week, it wasn't a Ford, and it wasn't black. But it was in the Off Topic & Banter forum. So I'm batting .250 ? (sigh)

Reversed = VMT CMT = Vomit Comet

That's my guess... What do I win?

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner.

Sorry no prizes, other than the knowledge you guessed correctly.
