Well guys.... I hate to admit it but the truck with the green number plate looks a lot like a Vermont plate and that I may know a few people around here that might do a stupid thing like that. Frank

I'm thinking the licence plate is green because it got over-sprayed when they subjected the truck to the "Earl Scheib experience"

Think I'll send these pictures to the Safety guys where I work, just to get their reaction. Unbelievable. Radar
There are 10 types of people. Those who know binary, and those who don't.

Welcome to ECN Frank. Looking more closely at that plate again, do you think Colorado with the strip of mountains across the top might be another possibility? Green doesn't seem to have been a particularly popular background color for license plates over the years. In the last 25 years only CO, IA, NH, and VT appear to have used green plates, with only CO and VT using them regularly. Canada appears to have none in that time. www.15q.net [This message has been edited by pauluk (edited 10-24-2004).]

These old plates (proper time for the truck) fade out & oxidize to just about that hue, I think

Looking at the truck, I see that the color on the body of the truck matches the color of the slats around the bed, which matches the color of the license plate. Since the body and slats match, it appears that this truck as been painted.
I bet that the same guy painted that truck that keeps painting over all our wires, switches & recepts. As per his usual practice, the license plate was there, so it got painted, too.

At least he left the brake/turn/tail-lights red!

I can only imagine it was his saftey-mindedness that prompted him to put the second 4X4 under the truck, I'm sure one would have done the trick fine.
The forklift thing doesn't look too crazy. I'm sure the forklift is carrying most of the weight. The scissor has slots for loading it on and off a flatbed trailer. The only scary thing is that you don't know where the tipping point is as the center of gravity gets higher.
