I had SOPAZME on the plates of my 82 NA 1.6 L diesel Westy. It had the "0-50 in 11 minutes" sticker on one side (exaggeration: mine did 0-50 in 10.5 mins) and "never get behind a VW bus" on the other side". Still got the flashing lights from behind and the one finger salute on a regular basis.

Yea -- I think I have noticed this too --- you try and go by someone and 
they think "I'm being passed by an aging VW van" and then they speed up. 
There used to be a dude on the list whose van plates said "PASS ME". I 
thought that was brilliant.............
