BFest? I was not impressed with the E30 turn out. 10-15 really nice E30s at best.

Hah, missed this conversation.


<- this guy doesn't buy into the euro plate fad.

thanks for the explanation.
IMO, customized/fan boy euro plates are sorta lame.
My car was an original Euro Delivery car, but my relatives briefly lived in a city in the NRW region, thus getting Krefeld plates.
My car originally had the non-EU plates, but my aunt and uncle wanted to keep them, so I got the newer style with the same plate #.

CSB.

Hah, missed this conversation.

They are legit "euro plates" but as someone mentioned they're US Forces plates. FWIW I have some pretty extensive knowledge about this as I was an MP over there.

To clarify a few things (for shits and giggles)... Military members are no longer issued USA euro plates such as the style I have in those pictures (they also had long USA plates too). These plates are given to military members when shipping a car back from europe. If you look at older pics of my car I have long DE plates. In Europe there are small plates as well, but they're actually larger than the plate I have in the pictures, and larger than us style plates.

I was legal to drive on those plates because I was given a us forces vehicle registration, as long as it didn't expire, and I followed the state law of registering my vehicle within a certain period of moving I was good. I never had trouble with the police, which I was some what expecting.

And just to be an asshole, I never once saw any German with an American plate on their car (even if it was American made)....

They treat it as if you just moved to the state from another state (ie you have a month to get it registered).

[glucklich21]

That I don't know. I guess if they are current there's no reason to get it registered yet. Although I imagine the fuzz wouldn't like you very much. ;)
