Three? 
Sorry, I can spot only two missing characters.
NOT(By the way, giving as many as three characters of the sequence is a real giveaway.)

A note to explain my editing: Michael started two threads - presumably accidently. In this one "characters" was originally "charters". In the second, he had corrected it to read "characters". The other thread had only a "tongue-in-cheek" response from grimbal so I chose to delete that one instead of this one in which T&B had answered more substantially. (sorry, grimbal!) And I edited both posts here to say "character".

'a' and 'c' - they were cunningly omitted from the original post! 
(But if you read Icarus' previous post more carefully you will see that they have
......NOTHING to do with the puzzle.)

Now I'm embarassed!  I never realized that this error you propagated ("charter" instead of "character") was done quite intentionally!

Well done, KRYTEN!
And I remember seeing TOC (from the other puzzle) somewhere.
That's probably also to do with cars.
