I liked it...

Hello in Cantonese / Mandarin.

Uh, no it isn't. They're also totally different languages FYI.
Could be someone's name though, in which case it would be a great plate!

Whooosh!!

As paddy plates go, I like the 3x3s. Every morning on the way to work I see IIG 700 and really like it.

There's a Porsche 911 around Belfast which has IIG 911.
Whatever way the G and 9 has been done it looks like an upside down mirror image type thing going on,

Ne How! I knew it. I just knew it. When in China, I have been saying completely the wrong thing when greeting someone. Usually the stall holders in the fake goods market. (Genuine Rolex going cheap anyone?) shay shay!

I used to have a neighbour that had P1 AN0. Rumour is that Elton John offered him a million for it but he denied. Strange considering it's on an old 97' Isuzu with a million dents..

I wouldnt hold your breath. I have been waiting 2+ years and no word since requesting it (not previously released apparently).

Seems to be a bit of a lottery - I've know some have waited months, and others years. Quite frustrating.
