If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

Saw TUR 80 on a 911 turbo back in the 80s , TUR 130 just isn't the same.

BAR81E sold on Ebay last month for about a grand, bargain for someone.

In the 80's I frequently saw '911 SC' on a 911 SC and 'All 928s' on a 928s running around Bucks

I liked AC 427.  I met the owner, he'd sold the Cobra and put it on a Clio Williams.  That must be a hanging offence.

I can understand that you might have to get rid of the Cobra, but why keep the plate

My Dad's old rep used to have a Nissan Sylvia I think and was often pulled over by the Police.  Not sure why but his no was 999 ALT.   (True story - He bought it to take the proverbial)

The fact that we do not have letters only numbers in Guernsey has lead to quite a few interesting numbers including 911 on an old original 911 also beemers with 318 , 325, pugs with 206 etc the Bailiff gets to use a car with 1 on it and the Governor uses cars with G1 and G2 (only time we have letters) his official chauffeur driven car does not have any number.

Oh and as the advert (HSBC I think) a chinese chap does have No 8 he also has 88, 888 and 8888.

BL03 JOB lived a few doors down from me 'till  a year ago - indeed a LM regular!
I saw V121 DAY on a Mondeo recently and W00 5H on a Ferrari was a regular sight some time back.

I remember being stuck in traffic behind 67" NOB on the north circular many years ago!! slightly awkward few minutes as I was taking my mum to visit my aunt.

Saw a 3 litre espace with TRY 1T

So I tried it, liked it, waited in a layby for him to come past, and then tried it again.

Here in Germany you have to stick with the first part to your hometown or better to say County

I live in the county of Limburg/Weilburg which is indicated by LM
So possible Le Mans related plates are easy to get as you have one or two random letters and 1 to 3 digits

LM-GT 1 (Corvette Z06)
LM-GT 2 (Ferrari F430 Scuderia)
LM-HA 24 (Houx Annexe - Carthago Megaliner camping car)

Just have to win the lottery and luckily I've seen none of the GT plates yet - most of the people take their initials and year of birth...
