Left age 2 so no memories except a love of red dirt. Thanks for the photos,suspect it is not particularly photogenic given that it is a mining town so you did well. <br /> MR 225, well it's a complicated story of love and loss. Met in Rome on a 2.25 pm train to Venice. Were both too young but promised to find each other later, when she sees those plates she knows she has found him again. Well, it's either that or the total number of his conquests thus far in his travels! melxBungalowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939060073606910950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-40729612569306214732011-10-01T22:41:50.580+10:002011-10-01T22:41:50.580+10:00Love it - Farmer Bren must think that he is a busy...Love it - Farmer Bren must think that he is a busy man:) 225 wifes in a lifetime - WOW:)<br /><br />Humm - Who knows - sticking to the married thing.

These cars have number plates with 1-3 letters at the start (older) or end (newer) of the numbers. For example, Goomalling has number plates that read GO 123 (or other numbers obviously!). I thought their care may be from Margaret River, hence MR, but it seems Margaret River comes under the shire of Augusta (hence AU 123 number plates. Still, some shires have had to combine in recent years so it's possible he's had MR number plates for years and years, before the shires combined? <br /><br />Here's a list of number plates, could be a fun thing for the girls to look out for :-) <br />http://www.avonvintagecars.org.au/PDF/WA%20Licence%20Plates%20.pdfPenelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15672409038206496330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-51320993036536337852011-09-30T16:38:59.791+10:002011-09-30T16:38:59.791+10:00No idea about MR 225, but my brother and I still j...No idea about MR 225, but my brother and I still joke about a ROB 180 who camped at the same spot with us 17 years ago!<br />I think you'll be remembering MR 225 for a long time :)Margrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836427330662149705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-53783787397340436032011-09-30T16:26:37.158+10:002011-09-30T16:26:37.158+10:00Oh Kate, I wouldn't have been able to leave wi...Oh Kate, I wouldn't have been able to leave without actually asking them why their number plate was MR 225..............<br />Now you will always be wondering, but I do like Jenny's idea and they have run away from their 25 children, lol........<br /><br />Have a fab weekend,<br /><br />Claire :}Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742003349610251189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-82443194801629751622011-09-30T15:38:03.313+10:002011-09-30T15:38:03.313+10:00I googled MR225 and it came up with an old white v...I googled MR225 and it came up with an old white valiant in reallly good condition.....just wondering if it is the same car?<br />Maybe he will only work for $225hr (but then who wouldn't).Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593209985311215622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-42534154469637880262011-09-30T15:28:58.707+10:002011-09-30T15:28:58.707+10:00Maybe they are secretly super-rich oil barons who ...Maybe they are secretly super-rich oil barons who are getting back to nature, and the inside of their caravan is gold-plated with velvet curtains.
