It takes a clever mind to draw a laugh or tell a story in only six letters, so you have to admire the brains behind some of our funniest number plates.

Lindsay Cooper of Brighton East chuckled when he saw a Ford Mustang with the plate MYGGEE.

But his favourite personalised number plate to date read TAHMUM.

Joan from Rye liked the succinct-but-telling plate she once saw on a gold Rolls-Royce: HEDIED.

And Milton Toal was impressed by the cryptic IOSPRO he saw on a luxury car around Melbourne a while back.

“Ten-s-pro — tennis pro,” says Milton, from Doncaster. “I have to admit that I did not catch on until maybe the third sighting.”

Lou from Bundoora liked the number plate URNVS.

Barry of Brighton once saw a recreational vehicle with the plate VIAGRA, which stood for “Veterans Ignoring Age Going Round Australia”.

“I liked the idea, so initially my motorhome was registered as SKIDRO, standing for ‘Spending the Kids’ Inheritance Driving Round Oz’,” Barry says.

THE PLATES VICROADS REJECTED

VicRoads’ database shows there’s a Holden station wagon out there with the rego NO RU5H — possibly to subtly warn tailgaters to back off.

And there’s a Toyota wagon in Victoria with the number plate OLM8TE — a cute twist on the phrase “old mate”.
