Roger Reddick had a Florida plate that was "C6 E9"

A sharp mind but how long will it sustain? Lol.

Dean Edwards just called me and mentioned this thread.

I did indeed have 'E9 C6' on a Florida plate but relinquished it when I made an ill-judged move back to England in 2020. I returned to FL in January, '21 but didn't reinstate the plate; I took pot-luck and now I'm anonymous ('T31 QQA').

Here's the plate, picture is courtesy of Bill Cunningham who was in Naples where we had lunch (you can tell by my waistline.

)

As a PS: It occurred to me to see if it was available and Collier County said it was; only weeks later I was at Chattanooga and I saw a TN plate 'E9 C6' - it turned out to be John Hughey's! I'm wondering now if I should get it back.....?

Paddy's and Darvin's plates are great! I think Jim Cohen has something similar, but on a PA plate.

Paddy:

I'll have to see what they'd charge now. I'm on a fixed-income!!! I'm not Zum-rich like you!!

I got stopped late one night and two State Troopers were asking if the plate had any '....military connotations'. It took a bit of explaining but they achieved their goal; to find out if I'd been drinking.

They were 15 years too late.
