VW Vanagon?!
But, the steering wheel is on the wrong side.....
Is that a Ford Windstar in the mirror of the last one?

Its cool that you get to use it for work. Its ok that you didnt buy it with your own money. Being able to work for now will let you save enough money to buy a car. Thats really cool. I liked the trees and graphics.

If you're a Bandsman and the instruments are in that van, and you have a Serf Board on the roof a Company Vehicle is miraculously turned into a love machine. ;D

mahn: all steering wheels are that side in ireland! crazy huh? I think its a ford transit van. I dont know the oic was taken on the job at some random housing estate.
licence plate: yes...well mostly, i'll explain: the forst two digits are the year of sale (or manufacture, im not sure) the letter (or two letters sometimes) is the are it was registered (G = Galway, theres d for dublin, s or sligo...etc etc)
then the last long number is the reg number, I think its the number of models sold in that area, but this is the only model of its type in galway so it might be different for imprted models.
kimm...as soon as I buy myself a new guitar, a car is next on the list
morph...more than you can imagin, im like hugh hefnor in this thing! lol, well ok, i've definately been flirted with a lot more anyway!
BG...oh yes!

Wow. that's a pretty specific plate.
In the U.S. our plates mean...nothing.
Well, it used to be:
Truck - Letter Letter Space ####
Car - Letter Letter Letter Space ###
Police car - ### X ###
Church Van - ### Y ###
All numbers are random.
We've recently had a revamp with our plates so it's usually a mix of 2 numbers and a letter Space 1 number and 2 letters or vice versa
Like my new plate is 3JA Y35.

My Plate on my car says "MZ3r0" Nice, I think personalized plates are cool. I would love to have a European plate as a keepsake too. In the United States not every state requires a plate on the front of the car. |

Kimmie: You can buy foreign plates as souvenirs to put on the front.
They don't have to be registered because they're not real.
We have a lot of VW owners who have them around here.
It's just that Aido's's's is longer than any I've seen.

I think most States are limited to eight characters. I've known people to abbreviate to make sure they didn't exceed the allotment.

Michigan only requires one rear mounted plate.
That can mean "anywhere" on the rear; bumper, tailgate, inside a non-tinted back window, trunk lid.
How about everyone else?
