Strongly OT:
That reminds me of a popular game children like to play in traffic jams: Since
German number plates are all something like ABC-DE-1234 (where ABC is a 1 to
3 letters long abbreviation for the respective city or county the car is
registered in), you can even find number plates that actually make up sensible
words, e.g. EN-TE 123, HE-XE 978, LÖ-WE 555 etc... So it's fun to watch out
for number plates like that.
