Interesting, I have had the same non-personal license plate on two Mustangs,
and now a Ford Ranger. In GA at least, the plate stays with the owner.

For the edification of the non-UK members on the list - what is the big
deal about having a "Q" plate anyway? I more-or-less understand the UK
age-related numberplate system, but why is this considered such a shame,
and why would the registering body care anyway? Here in the States, in
most
(but not all) states the plates go with the owner, not the car, so a car
would have had as many registrations as owners. Sometimes more, Maine
likes
to issue new plates with new numbers every five years or so.
Just curious,

Kevin,
I have lived in several states and never have I experienced one where
the plates stay with the owner. I suspect that in most states the
plates stay with the car. The only exception I have seen is in the case
of personal plates which would normally be kept by the owner when he
sells the car. I can recall a case in Texas where one guy has a
Spitfire and had a personal plate that said "SPIT" and he put it on the
Mustang he replaced it with. Looked rather odd!
