Tag: car licence plate
I found a wolf
Another find for my “car plates can make words in Germany” collection.
German licence plates are organised like this: the first letters (1 or 2 but not more than 3) indicate the town where the care is registered. Then there are another two letters (sometimes one but this is rare) and a number, usually four digits. Until a 20 years ago or so you just took the letters and numbers you were allocated but nowadays you can pick the letters and numbers for a small fee (something like 10 Euro). The only requirements are that no other plate has the same combination and a few letters and number combinations are forebodden because they have a meaning connected with national socialism).

On the Road
I’m used to seeing vintage cars, particularly really old ones like this one, at museums or possibly car shows, so I was startled when I saw this one nonchalantly pulling up at a petrol station and being filled up with normal petrol or possibly diesel. BTW: The H, the last letter on the car license plate, stands for “historic” and is reserved for vintage cars (provided they are maintained more or less like the original ) and it has advantages regarding insurance and tax purposes and I also think exemptions regarding emissions.
