- msdz 2mo agoI believe those are car license plate numbers.
- xnorswap 2mo agoBritish ones of various vintage, with RFS 131Y the oldest of those, from 1983.
- ErroneousBosh 2mo agoMy old Volvo 340GLE 1.4, first car after I passed my driving test. Awesome things, engine at front, gearbox at back, 50/50 weight distribution, enough torque to break traction if provoked, inoffensive enough not to freak out your girlfriend's dad. Perfect car for a 20-year-old.
- Arch-TK 2mo agoLicense plates vary between countries but this description should be recognisable to most of the world.
- FinnKuhn 2mo agoWe use "AA AA 1234" or variations of that, so the examples did not register as license plates at all. Interesting.
- addandsubtract 2mo agoRegardless of the content, what other 50x11cm mass produced metal signs are there? I was thinking street name signs, before reading the examples.
- FinnKuhn 2mo agoThe comment described them as made out of plastic, while license plates here are usually made from aluminum, so I was thinking more along the lines of some kind of packaging.
- ErroneousBosh 2mo agoIn the UK they're incredibly high quality perspex, to the extent that if you need to make up some small HV insulators that won't be subjected to a lot of mechanical stress you could do worse than chop up some old numberplates.
