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

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.

Everything in US of A is imperial.

Used to be here too (to be honest we've flipped between metric and imperial ever since decimalisation - I still use imperial for really small measurements (Thou), metric for medium (centimetres for anything less than a couple of metres and then after that imperial again (feet and miles) and it doesn't ever feel weird!!!!

I tell you what I've always found weird. In the UK we've (pretty much) always referred to engine size in CC. (Even when all else was imperial).

"The metric system is a system of measurement that succeeded the decimalised system based on the metre introduced in France in the 1790s."

So 'cc' have been around longer that most think......

I agree but 1300 or 1800 sounds more impressive than 79 or 109 ci respectively

Even when we had a reasonable sized car manufacturing we bought cars from Europe and it was std measurement for them

But 1.3 & 1.8 sounds less

Their gallons aren't. Otherwise their hats would only be 8 gallons.

I broke a plate at Donnington Park . I wanted a replacement that looked as close to the original as possible (so that it matched the rear). It had the BMW dealership along with Alpina and BMW badges. Sytner's wouldn't supply me with one as they said they could only supply legal plates (even though the original was made by them in 2005 when I first got the car).

Pretty ironic given they have been running this plate for decades, and surely must have to continually remake it in the wrong font.

Whilst I think anybody on a car forum who has never heard of a 383 should revoke their membership , why are pickup trucks badged in metric ? For example Dodge Ram 5.7 Hemi , Ford F150 5.0

Ain't no substitute for cubic centimeters just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Just because you can't see it in that photo, doesn't mean it's not there.

You'd have to look fairly hard at my plates to see those details, but they're there, and the plates are 100% legal.

You know the changes to registration plate rules can't be applied retrospectively - he's had the plate 30 years

You're coming across very much as though you have small-man syndrome. It's a very good plate, correctly spaced, why do you care so much that you can't see the official stuff on it from a low-res photo?

LargeRed threw his toys out of he pram because the majority on both the good plate and cr4ppy plate thread disagreed with the plates he was posting. Like a petulant teenager ever since he has been posting little objectionable comments like this to try and score points.

Yes definitely,he does comes across as a sad LITTLE man.... especially as he's not even got his facts right anyway as the plate he's going on about has the correct BSAU markings.....
