    My mams last car was a Volvo C70, 01 C 70. Her car before that was an Escort Ghia. My dad Jim followed the previous owner home and offered to buy his car, the reg was 810 JIM. My dad is a little quirky

    Ah, yes, that rings a bell. I was thinking of the blue Mini EIE10 (Old McDonald had a farm..) in my last post.

    Pharmacist in Limerick. Brought the Car in himself from the UK and had to jump through a few hoops to get a Leitrim address (but his name) and to have the number held for himself.
    He also has a lovely E9 CSL.

    He must've sold on the M3, used to see it around Mullingar direction quite a bit.

    In the old school days (was it pre 1977?) Kilkenny, in charge of the 'IP' tag, skipped RIP-13.
    Source: I saw it in the Evening Press.

    Would have been ideal for a hearse.

    Reg plates in Malta use similar format to the old Irish ones, walked out of a hotel one morning to see KKK666 parked outside.

    Saw one just today on a convertible Merc that just said "IMGIFTED" suited the person more than the car if I'm honest !

    Maybe it's a false memory, but I distinctly remember seeing a car in Dublin one time with the reg 666 EZE. :eek: This was in the 80s -- it was a fancy car, BMW or Mercedes. Where would a license plate like that be from (besides the underworld)?!

    Saw something like 95-CE-320 on a Merc, though I can’t remember the exact year.

    Volvo often got Cork plates for the cars. Saw a very tasty lady driving 98-C-70 with her top off a few years ago.

    Roman Abrahimovic has VIP1 an old Kilkenny number.

    In Belfast there's a hearse which sometimes attends the 'republican' end of Milltown cemetary TC OL or something, 'Tiocaidh Ar la' Help me get this more accurately guys.

    Tipp car 10TN10 (say it). Cute, I remember advising a Tipp friend to book it, in about 2008. He didn't, but I saw it later and said ahhhhhhhh.

    Edit:

    Its T111 ALY

    I saw it at the Bobby Storey funeral.

    You've reminded me of two hearses I saw years ago that both had plates that were RIP 1234 or whatever.

    I'm not getting 10TN10.

    Any premium car just looks better with a D-reg. It might be ridiculous or snobbery, but it's something that the market seems to agree with too.

    My previous two cars were G and MH regs and they always took something away from it for me. Thankfully balance has been restored with my recent purchase :)

    Saw plenty of trucks with reg to match either the horsepower or model.

    For example 98-DL-144 was for a Scania144-460 or 144-530


    My neighbour had 98-DL-3260, and the plate had a space between the 3 and the 2, as it was a 260hp scania rigid.

    211-DL-770 is for a 770hp Scania truck.

    I see a few Porsche 911s with the numbers 911 somewhere in the reg plate. Always makes me roll my eyes. :rolleyes:

    I had a Volvo S60 a few years ago and the last 2 digits of the reg were 60 but I don't think it was deliberate on the part of the first owner. Also had a Honda St1100 motorbike with the number 1100 in the reg and I can definitely say it was not intentional as I brought the bike in myself and did the whole VRT thing... They just assigned the next number in line. :)

    I sold a Land Cruiser before that had the reg 2982 on it, which is the cc of the engine. Pure coincidence.

    Also sold a new Yaris to a retired English lady that had the number 08-county-1916

    I remember 07MH55 when it was new. Audi S5 in white. Think it's half skangered up now :(


    CSI633 was another famous one I used to see on the longmile road. BMW 633 CSI


    I used to see 00KY911 every day when I was in my old job. Volkswagen Beetle Porsche 911, appeared to be a daily driver. Nice way to get about!



    One that infuriated me was 95 W 201... :o and a wannabe with 05 G 55. Those brakes are fooling nobody!



    I dream of the day I'll see P406DGT, if it exists... It would have to be an XUD too... ;)
