Almost 20 years old

[Dal3D]

My two together at work which is a rarity - especially as I've been working from home for nearly a year.

DAL3D - Got it as family have called me Dal forever as a shortened "Darren" and I work in 3D design so kinda worked in my eyes. Been on a Focus ST, Mazda 3 MPS and E46 M3 over the years. Did have a shortened plate at one time but realised quite quickly that it looks horrible so ditched that. Not on anything now I've sold the runabout Fiesta.

T23 FRS - Turbo 2.3 Focus RS. Got this before I got the car delivered when I saw a T23MPS Mazda 3 going the other way (and having owned one previously) and though it was subtle - if you know, you know. Was only a couple of hundred quid IIRC and is it's one and only plate since first registration.

I bought MS70 RTS and have it on a M Sports/MSRT van, but I began to wonder if it would be worth selling. Maybe to a BMW or Motorsports fan? On a new track car or the like?
Would I get grand for it ?
Never really thought about the value it could possibly have, but don’t mind it it doesn’t have much potential

This has been on the car since '97 (I bought it in June this year) I was never that keen on Irish plates but for the moment I can't be bothered to change it....

These are ours. Bought at auction a good few years ago.

I have very strict rules about what’s okay and what’s wky when it comes to plates, and these two passed the tests…

I’m please with JiG 383 on my Mk3 Interceptor.

It’s a G series with a 383ci motor .. Cool Eh

John P

383cc motor?? Is it 3830cc or is it 383cc and like triple turbo charged?

I must admit I wouldn't have a clue what a G series is or what size engine it had - but an Interceptor sounds like a cool name

The chap said it was a 383ci motor = 383 cubic inch. He didn't say it was a 383cc motor.

Notso is a yoof , some of his posts are comedy gold and should go straight to the stupid things non petrolheads say thread .

He's an "entrepreneur " too .

You are correct, odd it isn’t the DVLA website.

Jesus the internet is broken again and google is not available - the world will end

ci = cubic inch - Yank capacity (other countries may use it)

cc = cubic centimetre AKA metric - not equivilent

so 383 ci = 6.276 Litres or 6,276 cc

My father had an opinion that will always stick with me....

If you have to explain it to people= crap plate.

My wife’s phrase about luxuries is ‘what’s your next sentence?’

So if you have to justify it with a caveat or explain it then you didn’t buy what you really wanted;

Examples:
“I looked at an M3 but the 335d is quicker in the real world”

“The 2.0 handles better than the 2.8”

“The Rolex isn’t 4x the watch for 4x the money”

Etc etc.

I've heard of inches but never of engines described in inches and didn't know anybody still used it as a measurement. 6276cc, that's like huge. Respect.
