Cars and numbers

[Twinpipe]

I hope I'm not alone in this but I find myself thinking about cars whenever I see certain numbers. For example, on a digital clock at five to four I immediately think Ferrari 355 or when I'm driving up the M3 I think BMW. The worst one is that fateful day in september when the planes hit the towers, people talk about 911 and I start thinking about Porsches and turbos!!

So lets play a game. Put a car to a number. I'll start.

1)Mini One
2) Citroen 2CV
3) BMW M3
4)

ok I'm stuck now.....

Does it count if the number reminds you of a car because of the reg?

similar compulsion - had a customer years ago (old style reg) who didn't want her registration to add up to 13 (superstitious numerology nonsense). Ever since then i have mentally added up reg numbers. To the point where i try to make 13 out of the numbers by any means eg 851 could be 8x1+5=13 or 262 is 26/2=13...
i think that this might be unusual (putting it politely)...

S16 and 16v are rubbish. Packard V16 ftw.
