hI, I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WHO WAS THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF MY SPLIT VAN. IT WAS IMPORTED FROM AMERICA TO THE UK AND HAD WASHINGTON DC PLATES ON IT. THE NUMBER WAS 785-MPO. IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS ANY KNOWLEDGE I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU TO GET SOME BACKGROUND HISTORY. IF POSSIBLE I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE SOME PICTURES OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE ORIGINALLY. WAITING IN HOPE.

The plates don't work the same over here - every time the bus changes owners or stops being registered it will get a new license plate number. You would do better if you uploaded some pictures.

Was it by chance a flipseat?

Was that photo taken after judgement day, and the human cyborg chimera transmitted it back in time for us to see?
