xylophone Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I'm not saying I agree with such things, however there is another aspect to this, in as much as number plates like this and other rarities in whatever field, can be seen as a good investment for the future, as well as status symbols for those who can afford it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we talking about America--where someone "Mired in Superstition paid over 66 million Baht for a number plate Or maybe the superstitious English Guy who wanted 25 O so much he paid out over 22 Million Baht. I agree with you Anant 72...it boggles the mind the stuff that goes on in these countries that are mired in superstition..............................
