Its all about the reg... we need to see the reg...

Voodoomelon · 02-01-2015 8:27pm

151 D 65 no doubt. Savage motor, I wonder do people know they're standing beside a €355,000 car.

Yep. I was glad it didn't come out in the pics but that's the reg alright.

Feels good to know I didn't loose 150k ( at least )in depreciation today !

Voodoomelon · 02-01-2015 8:48pm

Good guess!

I saw a couple of horrid Dacias / Renaults this afternoon in Galway. Can't remember the exact numbers, both were under 100.

colm_mcm · 02-01-2015 10:06pm

I saw a sandero, in white.

Gavman84 · 02-01-2015 10:11pm

Id feel great if i could afford to loose €150k in depreciation.

Drummerboy08 · 02-01-2015 10:48pm

Albert Reynold's son bought one of those, wonder if its that one?

There's an AMG G Wagon floating about too....

That's astounding. I would have guessed €150k.

Must be a real pain for the owner forking out €1800 for tax.:pac:

Yawlboy · 02-01-2015 10:51pm

The tax is more like €2400

whippet · 02-01-2015 10:52pm

I saw a neighbour of mine pulling in to the drive in his 151 S500 ... Just to replace the 07 one he had in the drive yesterday

Sounds like a more sensible option than a s65 coupe.
What is the point of that its not a sports car and doesn't need that kind of drivetrain. The s500s I can understand, the 500 coupes I can too but not the amg versions. I wouldn't say no C63 amg coupe but don't think they are made now and still very pricey.

Sobanek · 02-01-2015 11:17pm

151-D RR Sport on the Motorway today.

The Royal Scam · 02-01-2015 11:20pm

Saw 151 RN 2 today. A nice black A6, unfortunately already had a horrible script font on it.

WHAT :eek:

You sure you didn't mistake it for a corolla? Nothing else seems to sell in that county.

notuslimited · 03-01-2015 1:46am

I saw 151-MH-1, a small white Toyoto parked in the Crossings Toyota Garage on the Sallins Road in Naas.

bazz26 · 03-01-2015 2:12am

15 L 115 white Kia Sportage today waiting to be collected by it's new owner.

clappyhappy · 03-01-2015 2:15am

Saw a 151-KE-51 ford focus estate today in west limerick. Must have been taking it on it's first long spin.

bazz26 · 03-01-2015 2:20am

Could be a company car too, a fair share of Focus estates sold here were company hacks at some stage.

Noccy_Mondy · 03-01-2015 2:25am

I like the KE on car reg's. Think it looks well.

Completely OT, but don't like RN or T.

DL looks well too, shame about the stereotype they get.

What on earth do you find aesthetically pleasing about two letters?

Weird.

ION08 · 03-01-2015 5:45pm

Saw a 151 MH 86 Nissan Juke driven by an elderly lady on the M50 and then saw another Juke 151 MH 87 with an elderly gentleman behind the wheel further up the M50!

Coincidence?

CrowdedHouse · 03-01-2015 5:51pm

Saw my first on the road today - a 151D3xx BMW 520 GT in white.

Even as a BMW owner I can't understand how they sell any, awful looking yoke IMO

Hold up, I'm not getting a hard on over two letters, I said I prefer the look of certain regs over others. It's a big plate on the front and rear of a vehicle which stands out, some numbers look well on the plate, others not so much. Same goes with the Dub reg's when they used to be on 120000's, the plate looked too cluttered

Oscars Well. · 03-01-2015 5:56pm

151-LH Ford Transit. Exciting times indeed.

I understand that plates don't look good when they're too cluttered or that you might have a preference for a home county or one that isn't associated with bad roads and boy racers but I'm not understanding how 'KE' or 'DL' look well and 'RN' doesn't "look well"??

Cantona's Collars · 03-01-2015 6:12pm

White 151 Discovery passing through Camolin then a 151 Golf almost getting smashed as a jeep pulling a trailer pulled out in front of it at the roundabout @ Scarawalsh outside Enniscorthy.

Are you from Roscommon? :P

It's to do with the combination of letters. Just think the R and the N don't look well. Nevermind me and my pedantic ramblings.

No not from Roscommon, I only like "D" on my plates

Polo_Mint · 03-01-2015 6:16pm

Silver 151 Dacia Duster today

Gael23 · 03-01-2015 6:16pm

Some people have too much money. (in reference to the OP)

I'm the same with KE and DL, think they look well on a number plate. I think it's the open space between the E or the L and the following digit make it easier on the eye as opposed to an N or a W or the like.

Fresh Pots · 03-01-2015 6:29pm

Got chauffeured into town in a 151 today. Pity it looked like this

:D

Noccy_Mondy · 03-01-2015 6:32pm

Was about to attack you saying it was a 12 reg, but then I realised you were being a smart arse :P

Yawlboy · 03-01-2015 7:24pm

C is the only letter that looks well on a number plate :P

Skylinehead · 03-01-2015 8:23pm

It's all about LM lads. I can spot an LM plate from miles away in Dublin, not too many of us Leitrimers around.

cullow123 · 03-01-2015 8:30pm

Saw a 151 D Toyota Corolla in red.

I'd agree with him... different plates just look better on cars

D top of the pile, especially on anything "premium" or upper end. Could probably live with CN as well

MH, DL, C, KE .. no chance.

I'd give real money if I could re-reg my current car .. 18 months on and it still bugs me! :P
