Title: How could i find out who owned this Number plate ??????
Post by: southern andy on July 29, 2009, 07:34 PM: Needle in a haystack time i reckon........

I received this plate today and i'd love to know who's it was back in the day. It seems everything on it is original from back then.

It was a South coast rider due to the SC, it also has a Locks Heath sticker on it as well as Lordshill Leopards BMX club stickers on the reverse of the plate. This rider obviously lived in Southampton.

I also rode South Central, lived in Southampton and still do and rode Lordshill countless times, sadly i don't have any race programmes from back in the day and i don't recognise the number but then i wouldn't as i was always behind people. :LolLolLolLol:

I would love to return this to the original owner but feel it won't happen, it's either this or remove the numbers and stick my own race plate number on from BITD.

what would you do, leave as it is or replace the numbers or do you recognise this plate ?????????
