I wondered how the plate thing worked. So you can choose any combination of numbers & letters you want -no numbers in Manky.
So is "Manky" a recognised phrase there? I was in New York a couple of weeks ago & my T shirt baffled the guys at the car show I went to Smiley

I'd be afraid to ask that Andy. There seems to be quite a few words that hold totally different meanings in the UK and Oz.

In the States I explain it as similar to their "Funky" -it used to mean smelly, dirty, messy, worn out. Now it means cool Smiley
