Strangest and most distant license plates you've seen in your area - Page 5

sdf11 · March 29th, 2009, 08:13 PM

Here in Spain you can see a lot of foreign cars from whole Europe!! a lot of Andorran cars and for example, yesterday I saw a car from San Marino!

But the most distant license plates I ever seen are from USA!

Some exemples:

This M3 in Marbella from California!!

This Oldsmobile Cutlass that spotted one friend in Huelva!

And the most crazy car i ever seen in Barcelona...a Mercedes G55 from ALASKA in Barcelona!!! that was definetly crazy...

It was parked at hotel Arts in Port Olimpic in Barcelona...Also I saw a car from Atlanta...but now cant find these pics...

This truck I just spotted was from Gaziantep, southeastern Turkey. It was driving near Hasselt, NL, 3200 kilometers to the northwest.

In New York:
Saw Hawaii Plates a couple of times..most of them for 15 seater vans, Alaska a few times..was shocked at first by these two license plates appearing on the streets

In Jakarta:
Kalimantan (Borneo) Plates or the upper Sumatran Provinces..very rare in Indonesia for someone to do a long road trip due to the long travel times and the tough situations of the road(not always poorly maintained but mainly due to geographical factors. Although Bali plates are not as rare as Sumatran Provinces in Jakarta

I saw a Norwegian car in Nijkerk, NL today, which are rare. I also saw a Andorran van today in Doornspijk, NL (of all places), which is even more rare.

Turkish and especially Polish trucks aren't that exotic in Europe actually.

Timon91 · April 1st, 2009, 09:13 AM

I see Polish trucks almost every day. Turkish trucks maybe once in a months, but far less.

Most Turkish trucks I see are from the Istanbul area, not southeastern Turkey

A friend of mine took this photo last summer in Biograd (near Zadar), Croatia. Can anyone tell is this a joke, or a real Swiss plate?! I'm confused here.

Palance · April 1st, 2009, 12:40 PM

I don't think that the Swiss would allow the Croat "šahovnica" on their plates.

It's a sticker, nothing else.

***PLH*** · April 1st, 2009, 08:06 PM

But there are no personalised Swiss plates, are they?

I have no idea. In Croatia, MAFIA word woudn't be allowed, I'm sure...

Driving in and out of Israel is now practically impossible. I do recall seeing a European license plate several years ago, but I didn't see which country was it. I have spotted an Alaskan plate in Maine.

Alqaszar · April 1st, 2009, 10:33 PM

I guess foreign cars can enter Israel only via Tel Aviv or Haifa ports. On the other hand, I saw Israel cars driving here in Germany.

Years ago i spotted a Senegal car in Hamburg and Libyan car on the Island of Föhr (North Frisian Islands).

Near the motorway border crossing at Venlo (NL) I saw a truck from Kazachstan last summer.

Last week, I saw a Monaco plate here in the samll town where I live. Also discovered Andorra and the Isle of Man here, which are only small entities and hard to find anyway.

Over here I've seen a car from Guernsey. I've only seen it once though.

Gag Halfrunt · April 1st, 2009, 11:29 PM

Where do you live?

Verso · April 1st, 2009, 11:33 PM

In abcde.

(Abcoude, Amsterdam suburb)

Timon91 · April 2nd, 2009, 09:14 AM

It's not that far, but there aren't many cars from Guernsey, so they are quite rare.

Verso · April 3rd, 2009, 12:46 AM

Just saw a Virginia plate.
