Remembering your old reg numbers?

Senna · 19-05-2009 07:59PM #1

Can you remember the reg of your old (now sold etc) cars?

I cant even remember my last cars reg and i only sold it last summer. But some people seem to be able to remember every single reg going back to the old ABC 123 days.

Guy:Incognito · 19-05-2009 08:08PM

I remember the reg of my dads old Fiat Mirifiori. JZG 309.

The lats car I sold had a faily handy reg to remember 97 D 97

-Chris- · 19-05-2009 08:14PM

I can remember the reg of my first "real" car. That's the only one, and that was back in '00.

crosstownk · 19-05-2009 08:18PM

296 DZO - Datsun Cherry. The chassis leg fell off so I moved to 24 EZI - VW Golf. Then I had 89D37412 VW Passat - do a Cartell check and look at the fuel type

Any cars I've had since then are most likely still on the road so I won't quote the reg numbers.

My Dad had a Ford Cortina - IBI 606. It was an early 1970s model.

EDIT: My mother had an old VW Beetle - KZC 974 (or maybe 974 KZC - I can't remember) - does anyone know what year that was?

mickdw · 19-05-2009 08:18PM

Yep, can remember all reg of parents cars back to 1983 when I was 4 and now my own cars also.

Hotwheels · 19-05-2009 08:19PM

Yup, have the paper work for them as well, all they way back to 84'ish including paperwork from Revenue. When I brought in a MK111 XR3i in 1990, £1875 quid, i think it was to clear it...kept the old number plates too...

Ohh ya I have a few bent valves from same, after the belt snapped, fitted two new ones, and away she flew....:D

Greenman · 19-05-2009 08:24PM

My Dad's Hillman Hunter UZF 102

Here in Belgium you hold the same number plate from when you start driving, I find that rather quaint.

foxinsox · 19-05-2009 08:36PM

First Family Car

EBI 252 Ford Anglia (mint green)

That would have been around 1970-1972 and my Dad got it secondhand.

I used to be able to tell the year and county by the reg, but as I get older things stop working

Double Doh!:o:o:o

19-05-2009 09:08PM

Saw one of mine yesterday near Harcourt St - 98 D 33159 - the current owner is doing a great job of keeping it like it was new - can't believe it hasn't been modded.

A gas passet? Was it lpg? How was it like to run in 1989?

I still have one of the old reg cars, 583zy!

Yep - LPG. I got it converted in 1997!! (for free). It ran grand on the gas. A marginal loss in power but it only cost IR£18 to fill the gas tank and it did 350 miles! I don't remember how much it cost to fill the petrol tank (I rarely did) but IIRC I had a range of over 800 (mostly urban) miles with both tanks.

omb0wyn5ehpij9 · 19-05-2009 09:29PM

Ive had 4 motorbikes, and i'm on my second car and still know all the reg numbers!

evogirl · 19-05-2009 09:34PM

The last four letters of your username would indicate that you are letting your side down

Cool! Thanks. It was the '63 or '64 reg. It had oval taillights. If it was a '77 model it would have had round taillights.

Much appreciated!

netwhizkid · 19-05-2009 09:42PM

I remember the reg's of my Childhood cars (parents). My father had HIV 280 a Toyota Corrola Diesel (One day someone stuck paper into the reg with HIV POS) on it:pac:

My mother had a WIF 497 VW MkI Diesel Golf 4 speed. I can remember scraping the ice off the inside of the windows nevermind the outside. The Diesel Corolla used to be hillstarted on a hill near the house and hill started by my father at another hill at his workplace:pac: The golf used to take a few newspapers burning near the intake to fire her up on cold mornings. My family were radical adherents to the good book of bangernomics up until about 2000 when they became bertieised.

blackbox · 19-05-2009 09:44PM

I can remember the number of my first car 26 FIK and my second FIC 990, but after that it's all a bit hazy. My current passat is 07-D something.

As much as I love civic type r's.....I wouldn't change my teg for one!

Ive never driven a civic type r, but i don't think they are as hard on the road as an integra

Panda Moanium · 19-05-2009 10:14PM

Have the registrations of all cars in the family since my Dad got his first car with the exception of one - a 1966 Standard that nobody can remember. I don't beat myself up about it too badly though as I wasn't born at the time. Fifty one cars and counting so far...

Interestingly I came across a Fiesta in Belgium last year that had the exact same registration as a Mark 1 Escort van we had in the family in the early seventies.

L-M · 19-05-2009 10:40PM

I remember me first car reg. Oddly, I could remember the reg's of most cars that pass through our forecourt, and the regs of most of the cars on the forecourt now.

I know people's cars by their regs more than their cars:P

_Kaiser_ · 20-05-2009 06:25AM

Well I remember my current 06-D-16xxx Passat (naturally

), my last 02-D-82xxx Passat, but must confess I'm drawing a blank on the 2 Mitsubishi Mirage's I owned except that the hatchback was a 99-D and the coupe was a 98-D

(Hangs head in shame!

)

igglou · 20-05-2009 08:18AM

Actually I'm boring myself now as well as you lot so I'll stop there.

I'm sad enough to remember my credit card details so impossible not to spend on the internet!
Also remember my bank accounts and most birthdays for people I know.

And yet I'm useless at maths!

Remembering your old reg numbers?
