Show off your Euro license plate!!
 
Show off your Euro license plate.

I am currently thinking of getting a euro license plate, but I live in Illinois where both of the license plates are required. If you have euro license plate and living in a state like mine, how do you manage to have it on?

freakness 03-05-2008 11:16 PM

Cool....here's mine.

do you drive around in the castro with that plate

RallyVermont 03-06-2008 05:11 AM

In VT state, by law I need a front plate.. I just zip tie one on for inspection..
 
and usually the cops that pass me look and smile like a car guy would. My plate is getting a bit beat up and will retire soon. This is an original plate from Stuttgart Germany IIRCC.

BSK auf Arbeit 03-06-2008 06:21 AM

used to have one but then realized that its the stupidest thing ever to drive
 
around with a different countries licence plate in the usa.

however:

when mine was on it was on the front bumper and the va tag inside the window

or the front tag was german and the va tag was ziptied underneath it

bassed-ndzmorezone5 03-06-2008 06:24 AM

What if the plate is real, not ordered from a website and has sentimental value.....
 
belonged to say your grandfather and was passed ?on?

RallyVermont 03-06-2008 06:30 AM

Sounds legit to me. My reasons - mine is real, and I have a spot for one on the bumper and not..
 
for US issued plates. Trying to mount one with Euro inset location just looks fugly to me.

bassed-ndzmorezone5 03-06-2008 06:35 AM

Here you go....

You can find anything on eBay.
 
Got this from a gentleman in Nordhausen.

EF is Erfurt, IIRC.

do you have a black roof?

NoNonsense 03-06-2008 07:04 AM

old news...black magic pearl IIRC

RallyVermont 03-06-2008 07:05 AM

huh.. never noticed that before.. I must have been thinking of some other AW'ers

bassed-ndzmorezone5 03-06-2008 07:16 AM

Yup about 2 months ago. It was a payment or making something up to me kind of thing=P

northof49(+1+1) 03-06-2008 07:29 AM

heh nice, have a cousin that lives in Erfurt

RallyVermont 03-06-2008 07:35 AM

awesome :)

freakness 03-06-2008 07:35 AM

It gets me a lot of catcalls and flashes of skin....
 
...best $ 40.00 I ever spent.

northof49(+1+1) 03-06-2008 07:45 AM

that plate would be from Frankfurt i believe

pentosinjunky 03-06-2008 08:23 AM

No pics, but I've been running a europlate with my MVA issue number on it for 2 years
 
and haven't got any **** from cops.

Mine goes "MD XXXXXXX"

The first two letters on German plates usually designate a city/town to which I think the vehicle is registered closest.

RallyVermont 03-06-2008 08:44 AM

ahh I beleive you are correct.. I know Kris Hansen's family is from the area where the plate is from
 
I'll double check.

MrGoodbytes 03-06-2008 12:55 PM

This gentleman's name was Christian...
 
...sent me a pic or two of himself and his wife and kid. Very nice guy.

MrGoodbytes 03-06-2008 12:56 PM

Stuttgart has a letter S.
 
Porsche usually has its "test cars" with
S:GO =)

Silver Streakin' 03-06-2008 02:13 PM

it's my VIN for where it was made, year, model, etc.
 
after hitting a raccoon back in 2003, and getting new bumper cover that didn't have the plate backet holes in it, it's never been back on the car is on the wall in my garage

BSK 03-06-2008 02:28 PM

yeah but those should be hanging in the garage. I still have my motorcycle plate from Berlin Germany
 
its hanging on the wall in the garage.

MrGoodbytes 03-06-2008 02:34 PM

Love it.

Damiano 03-06-2008 04:09 PM

What side-skirts are these?

A RO 95 03-07-2008 02:18 AM

Thats a Euro plate? Maybe an old UK plate from approx. 1965! or Singapore or Malaysia

A RO 95 03-07-2008 02:21 AM

FYI - F = Frankfurt on Main, S = Stuttgart

A RO 95 03-07-2008 02:23 AM

See my Sig!!! O.K. I live in Germany ;-)

bassed-ndzmorezone5 03-07-2008 05:50 AM

From before you were born yes it's a real EP. 99% sure this is the set from Sweden late 60's.....
 
It could also be the UK in the late 60's as well...my grandfather had my mother living all over the world depending on what IBM had him doing.

RallyVermont 03-07-2008 09:12 AM

yep my mistake :)

A RO 95 03-07-2008 12:15 PM

Actually I was born in the early 1960's!
 
As a Brit now living in Germany and who regulary travels throughout Europe I can tell you that it is certainly not a Swedish plate.

If it came from Europe in the 1960's then its definitely a UK plate. British plates with a suffix letter sarted in 1963 with A, so the E on your plate would date it to 1967.

Swedish plates in the 1960's were white with black letters and digits (see bottom of Wikipedia page linked).

As Europlate I always think of the modern EU plates with the blue stripe and country indentification letter.<ul><li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_licence_plates">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_licence_plates</a</li></ul>

I was born and partially raised in Erfurt and my dad was her student exchange family "father"..however, I'm sporting my old plate from a different little east german county near Hamburg..it's been with me from my first car and luckily Delaware doesn't require a front plate, so I have no issues there..it's a little mashed up now after running in US traffic for a year ;)
