Highest '06 reg ?

Silvera

What is the highest '06 reg you have spotted so far ?

Kildare: 06-KE-805
Tipperary North: 06-TN-494


Incidentially, I spotted a 06-KE Chrysler 300C today. Fine looking car!

Why someone does this is beyond me, I suppose it's better than the cars with the M badge blutacked on.

Some people like discretion - it may be a 540 but they may wish others to think it's a 520.

On the other hand it may be a 520 but they may like others to think it's a much larger model.

Others just like the sleek clutter-free effect it gives.

If the car is parked you can tell to a certain extent what size the engine is by looking at the Tax disc (although 3 litre and above have same rate).

Yes but it still shows the cc. That's how I knew the debadged new 7-series that was parked beside me the other day was a 750i (4799cc)

Yes, sorry, I forgot about that.

I like debaged because it looks more sleek, elegant and tidy.
However if i had a big engine , id naturally want to show it off

I hate this time of year, i have to make loads of number plates.BTW laois is up to about 460

It's probably best NOT to mention the type/model of car - just the reg number.
(i.e. by posting the reg number only it means that anybody (who has any unlawful ideas) doesn't know what type of car it is).

(Thats why I didn't post the full reg of the 06 Chrysler 300C I spotted today. The reg 06-KE-805 was on a Ford .......notice I didn't say what model Ford it is ).

I'd suggest that above posters (or a mod) remove the make of car from their posts.

I know it's off topic but I spotted 00 D 100000 recently outside the church in Lusk, Co Dublin. I think it was a maroon Hyundai 4x4 (Santa Fe?).

I was driving a '06 BMW 318i earlier today. Not mine of course.

I don't recall the reg but it was an early thousand KE car.

Silvera

I remember that reg (00-D-100000) featuring in a newspaper article back in 2000 - it was the first reg to reach 6 digits (well actually it's 9 digits;))

Sold/Registered by Des Cullen Cars.

I've only ever seen one car with a reg that high. It caught my eye as they seemed to be running out of space to fit the numbers on

Wicklow: 06-WW-694

Yeah, the govt introduced new legislation in 2000 to allow the use of smaller dashes (lines between year/county/number i.e 00-D-) so the larger regs would fit on the plate !

I have asked about this before, why is it a problem? If some scrote is going to clone a car reg for what ever reason, all they have to do is hang around a busy junction, car park etc, chances are they will find what they are looking for.

You are probably right .... but lets not make it any easier for them eh?!

The Dublin registrations went up to 105xxx approx that year. (They are higher since with year 2000 imports being added to the original figures). I bought a new vehicle on Dec 20th that year and it had 104xxx. I remember having to get the a plate renewed while down the 'country'. I had to go to several places trying to find one with a machine that would accept 9 characters - most of them thought I was joking.

funny how were blatantly giving out other peoples Reg numbers and car description. But when we put up a pic of cars the Reg plate is obliterated like it contains the PIN to some secret swiss bank account :rolleyes:
