[Gllug] OT travel in town

Hi,

The original english number plate system had the cars area of purchase built in as the 3 letter code. The more things change the more they stay the same comes to mind!!!!


  Simply 4 digits + 3 letters, so there is no way of knowing at first sight
 where the car is from. To differenciate cars from portugal and spain or
 any other eu country that has adopted it you only have a really little
 country flag plus the country code.

That is how the IRA could taget Brit family cars in Germany when we had a Army on the Rhine.
