Why Do Mercs Have Shit Custom Plates?

[khunjeng]

8 is lucky number for asians...

Lucky for people with Chinese backgrounds.

Ferni - yep, plates still on an F360. I know him.

BTW - Snows and I saw a new Euro plate V MB 666 on an SLK 55. Cool plate, cool car. Also, a customer has 25 on his SL 55 - cooler plate, cooler car.

See... they are not all bad.

V Merc Benz Devil ?

Yeah, the number only plates from long ago are often worth more than the cars themselves

there's a fella in my street that has "3"

nice.

[SS8_Gohan]

number "1" is going up for auction, or has just recently gone, not sure... that will be MASSIVE $$$$$$

yep 8 is lucky (chinese)

4 =death

2 =easy

and there's others, don't know... 6 i think is a good number.

my dad has V-TC 888, euro plate so the V is a given, tc initials and of course 8. Surprisingly this is on a BMW

EDIT: would SASR-34 be stupid? fascinated by the SAS (Aussie is referred to as the SAS Regiment) and the number is self explanitory

"6" sounds like "roads"

"1" sounds like "definitely"

"8" sounds like "make money"

"2" sounds like "easy"

so chinese like the combination of 168 so all roads lead to money

the family of one of my closest friends has '8' and '88'. they don't put the plates on their cars anymore cos of the constant attention/questions/jealousy that is thrown at them when driving around. kinda sad really.

Haha, ONPROL is a number plate my mate got back in year 12. We used to give him so much shit about it :lol:

Dunno what car they are on at the moment now, he might still have them.

lol

Hence why the Alfa 164 ('all roads lead to death') never sold well in Asian markets

[Leewah]

Funny you mentioned that. In Malaysia, Singapore a number of Asian countries renamed the Alfa 164 to the 168. My uncle bought one. It still sucked

Hence why the Alfa 164 ('all roads lead to death') never sold well in Asian markets

I don't know why you are complaining about plates down here you guys only have to pay a once off..

[R-SPEC]

^^ not complaining, just something i've noticed...

my mate has BM - 869 on his bmw. we have no idea what its supposed to mean they were on the car when he got it off a dealer.

would that have an asian meaning too?

Theres an m3 that lives near me which has the plates

M3 GTR

$500 a year just for the plates

Not to mention its not even a GTR its a plain old M3..

Loser!

[nice 28]

i thought all euro plates started with V

and my explanation is that rich people are too stupid to remember their plates so they just get something easy

[SS8_Gohan]

all euro start with V

maybe the guy with the M3 really likes the M3 GTR? monster of a car
