Trivia Time?

[voodoov2]

So does anybody know what the 505 represents on the reg plates on all the cars?

My guess is it's something to do with 50 as in Hawaii 5-0....?

Anybody know?

[Crazed_Dodgem]

it is unknown, only the devs will know. i seem to remember vibroboy commenting once about it as being some sort of development code. as it used tyo be, all cars had the code NCX 999 or something similar (look at early screenshots)

[N1PPER]

i would love for an update to include abilities to customize mine, nipper would be my license plate

apart from slackys S7, that would be slacky rolleyesa

[crappucino]

Customising plates would be so open to abuse. Imagine plates containing words such as.....

well I don't need to go into detail really :)

[crappucino]

LOL there's always a creative way around that I'm sure

but why would it matter??

you rarely see the plates anyway, it would just be for user satisfaction

[crappucino]

You know how touchy microsoft are about letting you do anything remotely creative.

[Marc_CRX]

My Plate would be M412 CRX mdr1 PGR2 (Cant remember if PGR and havent played PGR3) had the Ability to Customise Plates

[TheRaging]

I play WWE SVR07, created a guy, Riddick from Pitch Black etc. But the word filter on LIVE wouldn't let me use "Riddick" as a name cos of the last 4 letters. Word filters are seriously ****.

best plate i ever saw on a car was on a porsche 911 turbo - HOT 4 S** - use your imagination... :p

mind you it was parked in Southend, Essex at the time, he probably didn't need the car, the plate would be good enough on its own there :laugh:

[Philrob1]

My plate would be V12BYE on a Lambo Murcie :nuts:

[JohnMono]

I once saw a F355 with the number plate "60 NE" and on the back they had been pushed together to read "60NE" i.e. "Gone". Was awesome.

[GT-Pherelas]

Best plate, not funny one, was a viper my dads mate had for a was V1per. Sold the car to some bloke in the united arab nations so he just kept the number plate to sell of for a fortune. The person he sold it to didn't notice becouse he would just have to deregister it anyway, saved him the hasstle.

Best plate I've seen was on a Porsche 911 GT3

my dad has pictures of a car he bought in california... he changed the plates to standard ones after trasporting it back to Calgary, Alberta... but the plates it came with read MYFNCAR.

and im sure youve all seen this one... but it seems the state of Florida didnt think that the big orange in the middle might look like an "O"

http://home.arcor.de/shismatic/kurios/schilder/a55orgy.jpg

word is, this was a state issued plate, on a car owned by a doctor... it gained nation attention and has since been replaced, and probably off the list of available plates in Florida.

[moparman440]

That's a funny palte. I would buy a Civic, paint it pink and get that same tag, lol.

i know atleast one word that i have never found a website, forum or game that has a filter for it

That S7 TT looks like a photoshop. The letters don't seem to be one the same angle.

As for 505, it stands for when the game really hit public news.
