Not even a DB can escape the attentions of the Baggot St. clamping crew !

Maybe the crap font that looks like it was done in marker drew their attention.

An awful mustard coloured M3 (I presume it was Genuine) that I followed from Limerick to Charliville a week or two ago.

03-LM-3

Or, as it was written on the plate...

IIRC that has been spotted a lot around the lucan/clondalkin area. Its more yellow than mustard IIRC.

Are they living here? A plate like that makes them stand out a bit so customs would be interested in them.

Bearcat

there was a clapped out Hilman Hunter in pagent blue that resided on the strawberry beds, dublin about 25-30 yrs ago with the reg VIP 2. IP was a carlow reg. Many enquires were made to purchase car but nothing happened.

Any one of you remember that car or remeber seeing it? (if your old enough)

Knew another chap in the grain business with a 280E merc reg no. IO 1020 as in 10-10-20 the fertilizer. IO was a kildare reg?...

That sort of reminds me of this Chevrolet Biscayne that I saw at a car show a few years back:



On Cartell:

Registration IRL1
Make CHEVROLET
Model UNKNOWN
Description Not Available
Engine Capacity(cc) 3860
Fuel Type PETROL

Bearcat

surely IRL 1 was not a genuine Irish reg whereas VIP 2 was??

Silvera

IRL 1 was a special-issue UK diplomatic plate issued in 1959 for the Irish embassy/ambassador in the UK. The car was later imported into Ireland by an enthusiast and still (legally) retains this number.
(Up to sometime in the 1960's/70's it was possible to import a Uk car and retain it's UK reg number).

VIP 2 is an original Kilkenny issued registration.
(Interestingly, VIP 1 found it's way onto the UK register many years ago and was bought by Roman Abramovich for c.£500,000 last year!)

That car gets around. I see it occasionally in Dublin Airport and have mentioned it here before.

(I would also describe it as yellow rather than mustard).

Seth Brundle

Which photographer?

A northerner with businesses and property registered both in the North and South. So he get's the best of both worlds!

its called pheonix yellow, and i love that colour, although its an aquired taste!

Whenever I see a Phoenix Yellow E46 M3, I want to get sick!

And some of the colours you can choose for the interiors of M models are truly horrific. You think Phoenix Yellow is bad....

German import plates. They are probably just testing out the bus before the purchase.

Renault Safrane on latvian? or old Dublin plates .......:D wonder if there is an old 50s car on the road with the same plate?


Passat on texas plates, since re-registered.

Abelloid

Victor

I saw R 22 OAD the other day.

Cionád

Might have been posted before, saw this M3 on the M50 the other day, sorry about the poor quality.

port

saw a BMW 520d today with '08 xx 1520'

kikel

Saw a 99 D Lexus IS200 today. They must be proud of their car as instead of the county in irish it had "Yes it is mine" written instead.

I have a picture but no point posting as as quality is crap

Max_Damage

Saw a Skoda Octavia with Singapore plates on Camden Street there a few days ago. No picture though.

I have to conclude that such a particular "customised" plate would be totally lost on 99.9% of the general public (myself included !)

He was lucky to have bought it with that number on it. I think the garage he got it regd it before selling it :cool:

irish.rugby.fan

Ha, prob was our old car!! The ould lad bought a Nissan Sentra "KIT xxx" back in 1995. Cars registered in Leitrim during 1986 were all "KIT". I don't remember seeing any "TIT" cars on the road

AckwelFoley

no pics but..

2 years ago within weeks of each other i seen an SUV in Galway with New South Wales Australia Plates!

and after that i seen California plates on a white car .. also in Galway

Max_Damage

^ Vehicles with Americans plates in this country seem to be getting quite popular recently. Saw a Chevy Silverado with Massachusetts plates recently, and another one with Texas plates too.

Even saw a Hyundai Elantra with New Jersey plates too!

positron

Apologies I have no photos, but noticed a northern reg Porsche Boxster in Drogheda over the weekend, and number plate read "NI BXR". :cool:

Rowley Birkin QC

No pics but saw a blue M3 last night with the reg M3 LAD. The M was the Msport logo.

Could have had something to do with this being moored up near to where I saw the car. Triple 7, the 74th largest yacht in the world. Well worth going down to have a look at it.

Ferris

Mate of mine had a Mini Sidewalk, 96 D 1275

(The engine was 1275cc for those of you who don't know minis:p)

Bendihorse

Oh my god... Where did you see that yacht! Its stunning

Rory123

My car is 0x-D-54319..... Only 2 registrations away from 54321! I was gutted when i realised 6 months after I bought it... although somebody had most probably reserved 54321 anyway.
