Pics of apt, rare, funny number plates taken in Ireland if possible

JCDUB · 14-12-2009 11:33pm

Didn't go checking through the whole thread so I don't know if this was mentioned before, but I did see a nice one a few years ago.

One of those old bad-ass Lotus Opel things, (Omega I think) in racing green with B11 OYS on it.

Obviously a Celtic fan..

Never got a pic:mad:

Dealer pre-reserved it then realised he was never gonna sell a 520 this year I guess... mywheels confirms that its definitely on a 318 anyway!

Saw a Lexus LS 430 in south Dublin the other day with a 9*-LS-430 reg.

Also saw a Ford Ka and a Porsche 911 beside each other, the Ford Ka's reg being 98-D-911!

According to cartell 98-d-911 is a 911 not a ka

a guy outside athlone has a 03 m3 and reg is

Why do people keep trying to check to see if posters are lying all the time? Awful sad imo.

5T3PH3N · 21-12-2009 6:41pm

Sure the LS430 wasn't even out in the 90's, only released in 01 i think. So i'd say he got it mixed up mith a LS400.

danielsligo · 09-09-2010 12:40pm

Hi lads,

I've taken this last May in Strandhill, Co. Sligo. I know it's a common French plate, but the number - 999 AZZ 35 - makes me think it's like an end of a current serie of numbers. I've heard that the French did change their plate models last year, so am I with a very rare late french "last plate" in that region? Thanks

patrick170 · 09-03-2011 3:42pm

Here in Belgium we've got plenty of vanityplates. Here is an exemple

Old thread, risky, but posting anyway as it seems like one of those open ended post-a-pic type threads...

Took this up North a while back.

Excellent - that's where I snapped it

Parked the boat in the SC dock and took a stroll about (went on the pi55)

edit: In fact we ate since then in that restaurant and it was damn fine !

qz · 14-03-2011 2:09pm

It'd be better if the restaurant was called Sboffs.

Max_Damage · 16-03-2011 1:09pm

Spotted this Washington State-registered Dodge Magnum in Nutgrove shopping centre earlier today:

It's a long way from home!

Plug · 16-03-2011 1:17pm

They are a good few yanks around, I think they are filming something about ghosts. 120 or so of them maybe thats a crew car.

Perhaps. I saw a 4x4 with Californian plates at IKEA a few weeks ago, maybe it's related.

Aye, theres some TV series being made over here about ghosts and hauntings...Duckett's Grove in Carlow is being featured I believe.

Funny enough, I've seen a good few Middle Eastern registered cars in this country. Handy for the M50 toll bridge!

I must say, those Arabs as a nation have wonderful taste...

Seen in Killarney in August.............he'd get away using these plates here but I doubt he drives on the roads in the UK with these non-standard GB plates !

Victor · 04-10-2011 5:18am

How dirty can you get?

dgt · 04-10-2011 8:31am

A friend of mine has a mk3 Escort with the reg "1 JIP"

Do-more · 27-04-2012 2:26pm

Spotted Joe Dolan's old Renault Scenic at my local supermarket during the week...

Seth Brundle · 23-05-2012 9:53pm

Saw this in Belfast last weekend...

L-M · 24-05-2012 1:37pm

Now that's cool!

ianofitz · 24-05-2012 6:18pm

used to be a jag parked in a garden up the road from, only moved last couple of weeks but the reg was 91-D-7777. hopefully someone saved it

Sobanek · 24-05-2012 8:10pm

06-D-5350 - BMW 535d M-Sport.

Sticky Fingers · 24-05-2012 10:09pm

I remember this reg from years ago, it was in Autocar magazine. Not sure when, but I do remember it was on a Rolls Royce.
Best one so far I think ! from (Pistonheads.com )

I remember seeing that reg on a white Merc 190E with SEC grille in London in the 80's it's such a great plate it has always stuck in my mind.

Do-more · 15-06-2012 11:49am

It's obviously an MMMergency vehicle.

Sobanek · 29-06-2012 11:52pm

I saw a blue Audi A4 2.8 yesterday with the reg plate "A4 HAI"

NOTE: Motorcheck and HPI don't seem to find the reg plate

If I'll see it again, I'll surely take a photo!

Type 17 · 30-06-2012 11:51am

That can’t be a UK or Irish reg, must be from elsewhere, or be mis-spaced/mis-represented in some way.

Yeah, I tried all the different possible options, but no luck. It had the UK tax disc too, so...

Type 17 · 30-06-2012 1:59pm

If it’s definitely a UK car, it couldn’t contain the “AI” on the end, as that is the county index, and AI is an Irish one (Meath), so it must have been HAJ, HAL, HAT or something similar.

eth0 · 14-09-2012 6:31pm

Seen "R400 FFS" the other day

Gloomtastic! · 14-09-2012 8:03pm

Spotted this little beauty in Dublin a few months back. The pic's been sitting on my phone since.

It was on a Bentley and whilst 1H may not seem like a wow plate, I first spotted it in my rear view mirror, where I was greeted with a H1.

eth0 · 14-09-2012 8:21pm

also seen a fine beour driving a jag the other day with the plate "1 VG" or "I VG"

jrar · 09-05-2013 8:53pm

Saw this one some months ago - can't remember where ! Looks like it's meant to P. Coogan (or posssibly Googan ?)- works well !
