    He's a bookie that follows the dogs. I see it every night at work. If he parks at night, the headlights stay on for a few seconds to let him see as he leaves the car, and a lot of punters keep telling him he's left the lights on. It bugs him no end.

    Old Irish registrations CANNOT be transferred to another vehicle in Ireland.

    'VIP 1' was on a car which was bought by a UK buyer many years ago who managed to get the reg onto the UK system. It recently sold to Roman Abramovic for 500,000stg.

    I suspect that the reg that was seen on the Almera was an eastern european plate.....many of them use the same lettering as old irish plate.

    That Aussie (Queensland) plate '2 CRAZY' is interesting ..spotted in Ireland?? I presume.

    .....thats been standard on all Mercs since 2001 MY. Its selectable, so why doesn't he turn the feature off ??

    ........this is the case currently but apparantly not always the case ! A guy in the Merc Club had a very very old Limerick plate transfered onto his '65 Merc about 8 years ago ! I dunno how, but he did it, reason being the plate suited the cars engine type !

    I think nearly every car made in the last 5 years has this feature. :rolleyes:

    have things changed? From my real world experience as a former dutiful citizen you can't just casually tell the guards something, as you would a friend, before they listen to the actual news/information they will want to know YOUR "name", "address/phone", you feel like you are becoming "involved" in some way.

    WZS... was issued on 2/85 and lasted until 3/85 and Nissan did not have an Almera available then. You should have reported it to the Gardai as this car could be used in a robbery.

    That sounds really dodgy .It should be reported

    Was it done "legitimately"???
    8 Years ago??
    I spoke to a guy who had a GTI-reg transferred onto a Peugeot 205 GTi, from a 65 Morris Minor .....but he did so before new style plates came out in 1987.

    Really sounds odd that someone could do so only 8 years ago??!

    I'd lay odds on it that it was a Polish/Latvian/Lithiuanian/Estonian reg plate.

    As I said, they use a system that (legitimately!) replicates old Irish plates.

    (PS - 07 LS 460 is on a Nissan Navara)

    Well XJs can be mistaken for a 75 from a distance!

    My dad's old BMW 520's plate was NIC 999. He was going to sell it to a mate in the Guards but he held onto it. (car got smushed and ended up in Circuit of Ireland I believe).

    Saw a Co. Waterford Reg with Loch Gorman over it in Galway last year.

    Could have sworn it was a Rover but I could well have been mistaken as I was meeting it in traffic and was looking at the plate more than the car!

    Recently I saw a particular UK plate on a Volvo saloon in Dublin on a Thursday and the same plate on a Jeep Grand Cherokee the following Monday in Mullingar! Saw the Jeep again about two weeks later still with the same plate, that's about 6 weeks ago and hpi.co.uk are still showing the number registered to the Volvo, go figure....

    It still returns on Cartell as white BMW 520 (1990cc). :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,513 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    There used to be a 999 UIE on an ambulance (Mitsubishi of some sort) in Shannon years ago,

    My favourite Irish ones:
    GTI 205 (Pug 205 GTI)
    00 TS 156 (Alfa 156 2.0 T-Spark)
    06 d 15220 (Lexus IS220 d)
    00 C 180 (Mercedes C180)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,575 ✭✭✭junkyard


    I just checked VIP1 and it's on a Rolls Royce Corniche, I thought the Russian billionaire bought that recently, you'd think he'd have it on something a bit flashier than a Roller. It used to be on a Jaguar XJ6 in Kilkenny years ago.

    That's the one :) She got mashed by the postman and dad sold it to a guy for rallying (he didn't mind sticking a new engine block in her) and he didn't need her road lgal so dad kept the plates. They're in the shed somewhere still.

    Looks like a GT-4. Cool car but the plate isnt overly spectacular to say the least.

    Saw 07-D-89 lately. Quite cool.

    Saw this TOP car in Ballina last week.

    top.jpg

    Reminds me of OOO 800 which I saw on an old Beetle in London years ago, it looked real good on the square rear plate!

    Also last week I saw D11XDN on a Range Rover Sport in Tulsk the two 1's were really close together like ll and the second D was rounded off to look like a O, I guess Mr. Dixon couldn't get his hands on D1XON!

    Also saw C 8 LUF of a white Crew cab (Navarra IIRC) in Ballinalack, spaced to look like C BLUF, poker player perhaps?

    :eek: Tacky in the extreme. If I had the money for a Q7, it's the last thing I would be doing!

    (I'm surprised they didn't have the '0' doctored to look like a 'Q' also. That's what the're at up here! :rolleyes:).

    saw a Touareg withthe reg 00-KE-1007 ( im not sure what county it was but the 007 bit was done like the james bond 007 logo)

    quite sad considering the rest of the reg was plain and the cra was a light colour anyway ..so didnt even look remotely "secret agent"

    I've been to my therapist and she says that I probably have a repressed desire to own a Rover 75 (hopefully it's very very deeply repressed!)

    Anyway I've decided if I have to have one it will probably be this one....
