Notice any license plate ... oddities?
« on: June 04, 2009, 01:44:21 AM »
We've seen witty/interesting license plates, such as these in IL:

BMW AT 40, Pontiac Grand Am
TUTH D K, Honda Civic coupe


...BUT ... have you noticed any plate ... ODDITIES?

One morning on the way to work, I happened to glance in my rear-view mirror ... and thought I saw the word "S E X" on a license plate.  As I waited to turn left off Route 58 onto Barrington Rd, the vehicle went past ... and I looked at the rear license plate ... and noticed that it was a generic IL plate that had "X35" as the first 3 characters.  Wonder how THAT got past the IL sensors...?!!

Well in the UK we get the personalised plates but not free rein over every letter.

I saw a car yesterday with K4PUT as the plate (KAPUT)

The is a local BMW with M2 SUC but a bolt has been placed in the middle of the C soo it reads M2 SUE (I know it is sad).

Obviously there is a big market for numbers starting M3, M5, M6 etc and for anything ending in BMW

One of the best out there is A5TON on a Vantage V12

but generally it is a bit of a sad thing to do....
