Out here in Malaysia, some car owners are very particular about getting the right number plate for their new car. The people who are most concerned are normally the Chinese folks, who would normally pick car number plates that are supposedly auspicious, normally those that sound like positive words such as prosperity or luck. But these days, even the non-Chinese will consult their Chinese friends to help pick a nice number plate.
If you are in the UK and are looking to find a car number plate, you might want to check out this site, www.northumbrianumbers.com. This site has a massive selection of private number plates. You can do a search for ageless car registrations, prefix type registration numbers and current style number plates. Looking for a number plate with your name? Do a search, you may find it, who knows! While you are at it, you might also want to check out their Bargain page with huge reductions.
On the other hand, do you have a cherished number to sell? They are always interested in buying quality private car number plates for their stock especially the ones that do not have any "year letter". Alternatively, they may also be able to help you sell your car number plate for a commission upon sale. Best of all is, Northumbrianumbers.com does all the transfer paperwork so there is no hassle for the customers.
As I'm sure you're well aware, the locals here in HK are also hell-bent on obtaining anything numerically 'auspicious'.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I wouldn't mind having $44,444,444, or 444 acres of land, or being able to help 444,444,444 unfortunate people/animals. :D
Hope your weekend was a good one!
Furkids, lol.
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't believe it. Our car registration division of the Road Transport Department is also practising this - the 'nicer' the number is, the higher is the price of the number plate. I was surprised the first time I heard about it.
