This is a real life plate:

OUI OUI

Question: What color is the car?


While the French might say "yes yes", I'm guessing the owner went for a more phonetic interpretation, "wee wee", thus making the car yellow.

Dead on with #1.

#2 - think Ford in the 1960s. :)

#3's right on the profession, but the question was what kind of car. :)

Ya still got a chance.

The color of the car with the OUI OUI plate's still out there. :cheers:

A few more:

The plate of a very clever enthusiast of a certain sport.

IX FE

Hint: Think Roman numerals and chemical symbols from the periodic table of elements.

Yup. And that's a real life NH plate.

The others may or may not exist here in NH. I found them some time back on a site listing interesting plates. Don't think the state of origin was listed.

Here's a rude one. It's an amended version of the real life one (don't want to push the envelope on language):

2 U WERCS

Was yellow incorrect ? EDIT : I see we've cross posted, yellow is correct
9 iron makes the owner a golfer
"Accentuate the positive" - perhaps the owner was a Bing Crosby fan ???
Pee before you go could be almost anycar but I'll say a Yugo for now.

It is correct. Must've been postin' when the correct response came down the pike.

You're pretty good at this!

"Accentuate the positive" - perhaps the owner was a Bing Crosby fan ???
It is a Crosby tune, isn't it? I always think Andrews Sisters, but it was a joint endeavor, I think released as a Crosby record.

Maybe - especially if you're heading down the Mt. W Auto Road in one of them :laugh:

Them with kids might have some alternatives. :cheers:

That happens to me too. Doctor finally told me to be a little less agressive with the Q-Tips. :)

Argie's Wife 06-23-2009 08:43 PM

Since this has strayed off the Winni-path, I'm going add a couple...

"SHDOWFX" (Hint: named for a famous fictional horse.)

"22MANY" (Guess what kind of vehicle that was on....)

"NH2STAY" (Self-explanatory. The vehicle is registered here in Alton.)

"SWTNLW" (Hint: It comes in a pink packet.)

"STOL3N" (Self-explanatory. Imagine being the cop that has to call that one in!)

"IFARTED" (No. I didn't. But how did they get that approved?)

Which leads to the personalized plate I had on my Ford Festiva in high school....

"FUBB" (Yes, it's an acronym. Google it if you don't know it.) :D

Vanity Plates
 
To stretch this topic out a little, try going to Google and entering the following: PL8SPK. Several responses will come up, including a book entitled PL8SPK Vanity Plates Retell The Classics. In reality, this is a rather challenging book with some rather difficult vanity plates. It is a great table top book, but watch out for scratching, the front and back covers are license plate metal.

Blue Thunder 06-24-2009 06:37 AM

NOPCME Mass plate ( a local Urologist)

chipj29 06-24-2009 07:48 AM

I applied for the vanity plate DOO DOO one time. It ended up being denied. Any guesses?

I currently have the plate NOSNHOJ on my car. It is pretty easy for most people to figure out, but I have heard some pretty funny guesses as well.

joey2665 06-24-2009 08:25 AM

Vanity Plates
 
Not lake specific but my New York Plate is "NY 2 NH"

ApS 06-24-2009 08:27 AM

Doctor DK
 
1) "DRDK", a clever plate, but on a frequently off-course/oft-damaged Corvette at our Driver Schools.

(I'd see a different "DR"). :D

2) My own sports-racer had "2-LTR-6" for a plate. What car would that be on, and why would a "two-liter-six" engine be remarkable in that car?

(Member Mee'n'Mac would know. :) )

Shadowfax, one of the Mearas and Gandalf's horse.

Got another:

Question: What Model car - and what color? LOL

How 'bout a white Bronco.

yessir!

I still remember watching the live footage of the chase. The announcer was describing a 'slow white bronco.'

My first thought was the cops were in pursuit of John Elway.:laugh:

OK, I'm out of ammo. Sorry if I led this thread astray. I'll blame it on the little boy in me...

Seems I can't make him leave. Wouldn't be fair. Afterall, he was there first.

Besides, him and me, we have a lot of fun together. :D

...If I had a Ferrari :rolleye2:

CrawfordCentury 06-25-2009 01:26 PM

On topic (this time at least:rolleye2:):

I was behind a Cadillac this morning for a short while on Center Street in W'boro. Plate was WINNI.

Myself, I don't have a VP. Honestly, can't even remember the numbers on mine. My mnemonic shortcoming - ironically - is a good way to remember to turn off the headlights when I go into the grovery store. :laugh:

BroadHopper 06-25-2009 01:34 PM

Ppdoc
 
Saw this on a Caddy from NY.

I had 'BLIP' on my Fiat years ago.

I also saw 'BCNU' and 'BCNU2' around Gilford for a while.

As well as '2GETHER'

Seeker 06-25-2009 02:40 PM

My 62 Vette has a veterans vanity plate OLD VET. Kind of a double meaning as both it and I are old.

Seeker 06-25-2009 02:47 PM

Just an FYI for any vets. Both WINNI and WINNIE are available as NH veterans vanity plates.

I hate to say it but 45MPH is available in a regular vanity plate or those of that persuasion :rolleye2:

angela4design 06-25-2009 05:09 PM

MBALMD - It's a hearse, or course!!

Mine is CRE-8IV - wave if you see me!

And I love the local woman with a plate on her sporty little american-made car, which says POORSHE

Yes, I was amazed at how easy it was to get the names I wanted on my veteran plates. I have ORION (of course) and VP-16 (my old squadron) on my other vehicle.

LadyJane 06-26-2009 10:39 AM

Mine is "4 U BRY" , in honor and memory of my son, who absolutely loved N.H. lakes region, and came here many times to vacation, fish and just enjoy being here.

Winnie is a taken as a regular vanity plate and according to the NH DMV web site you cannot have the same letter/number combination on another type of NH plate (Veteran, Conservation etc).

Some variations for Alton Bay are still available. Me - I just got my Winnipesaukee.com handle "JSTSLD" on a Veteran vanity plate. :eek:

Mee-n-Mac 07-20-2009 11:12 PM

Saw these 2 this weekend
 
TEETH4U - on a Toyota pickup

SITE4U - on a luxury car

Guess being an optometrist (or opthamologist or website designer ?) pays better than being a dentist ???!!!!???

upthesaukee 07-20-2009 11:15 PM

two passions
 
Wife and I have two passions...the lake, and golf.

Her car : PAR-1 (that's an birdie) (and a sweet ol' bird she is)

My car : PAR-2 Veteren plate, that's an eagle, and I was in the USAF, double meaning.

And oh the fun of driving in NH and trying to figure out the plates :laugh:

jr616 07-22-2009 02:34 PM

best I ever saw
 
Was on a White Volkswagen Rabbit : IML8

:coolsm:

MJM 07-23-2009 08:15 AM

Late
 
I would've liked to have this for my wife, but it's taken - NH plate seen on Rt 93.

L8AGN

neckdweller 07-23-2009 08:46 AM

Another "late" one I saw yesterday - 4EVRL8

A lake one seen in Moultonborough this past weekend - either HRMTCVE or HRMTCV (tough to read as it's going by you).

My friend out in California had a Red Sox related one - MFY1918. This was before 2004 but she's kept it. When she went to the California DMV and asked what it was, she said it stood for My Favorite Year and the 1918 was when her grandfather was born.:D

Redwing 07-23-2009 09:37 AM

Double entendre
 
My Connecticut plate was "BOAT NH", the NH being for both New Haven and New Hampshire.

I saw BOATNH (NH plate) on a silver Dodge pickup today on Rt 3 in Merrimack.

NH is one of the few states that duplicates the plate "number" on different playe types. You can get a "regular" plate with that "ECHOPT" and get a "Conservation" or other special logo plate, with "ECHOPT" on it also.

CrawfordCentury 07-30-2009 12:54 PM

A few more riddles for you all.

The owner of this tag might have been a fan of a certain musician, accordionist, bandleader, and television impresario who hosted an epynominous TV show from 1955 to 1982.

A1 AN A2





This one's straightforward. But what's remarkable about the arrangement of the letters. (Think 'Bob' or 'Hannah' or the first name of the man who unified the German principalities in the 1800s):

ATOYOTA




Guess the hair color of this vehicle's owner:

AU YLOKS

Saw LIC PL8 today in Meredith. Thought that was a good one.
