    That sounds really dodgy .It should be reported

    ........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 !

    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.

    The owner should have given a Laois address for a better plate! :D

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

    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....

    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"
