I’m guessing “D65 GFK� was his British tag, it being a standard letter-number combination from the 1986/87 registration year issued in/for Dudley, in the West Midlands.

Perhaps you're right. I was wondering if there was some subliminal message in there about the size of his mahood or Man City or some such. Equally

Well of course that number has now been upgraded to the ultimate E30 JGQ
can you see the connection at all...or its significance to a South Londoner...

Just saw a BMW car with New York plates, “VROOM3� in my building's parking lot. Cool looking BMW it was too! Not mine, I hasten to add. One day, one day ...

Although my wife has the proper tag "King Cog" on the rear of her Olds out of respect to me (!) the decorative plate on the front reads "Pure T Mommicked" and she tells me that only Southerners will understand this!

JeeZ ..I had forgotten about this thread .. Amazing how you could see anything in those tag numbers ...there were both just the standard boring issue from the tag office ...with absolutely no meaning whatsoever...

Just saw in my building's car park a Honda S2000 (good looking car) with a neat number plate: "RPM 9K" ... VA plates ... pretty neat ... I suppose the car's plate is telling us that the S2000 engine can rev at 9,000 rpm ...

Loved it karma on its way.

Our tags are due for renewel next month so I've been looking into a new plate. All the good ones have been taken though, so it looks like UK2ARIZ maybe the winner.
