We need more of these posts lol. I was on the hunt for a triple # plate a month back and found a 555 close to my house. My friend actually told me about the 666 cause they work there but my parents yelled at me when I mentioned it haha.

[JSALES]

that's cool, i'd want a 777 license plate number haha

Too bad a 777 plate won't substitute for driving skill!

How did you go about finding thes? did you just end up calling all the insurance agencies and checking?

Interested in the 000TKA lol

[cctw]

^ yea I called up almost all the agencies in richmond van and burnaby...skipped surrey and new west cos too far outta the way AND those obvious Chinese ones cos they'll never hold for you and they'll tell you they dont have any even when they do.

[Spaceship_coupe]

I'm still in the search for this plate: OOO 054. It's the older way where the letters are at the front. I just want!

Thanks for the post!

[!Aznboi128]

ummm that 888 is tempting ahahah

[shenmecar]

as long as 888 is on the plate, chinese people will go nuts for it.

[tiger_handheld]

i want a 777DAK or 604DAK

[sexyaccord]

888 is sweet

[Energy]

888 is pretty good. You'll never see a Chinese driver with 666 or 444 though.

[jmanhas]

888 is taken already. I'd like to thank the OP for this post! Saved me a lot of work. 000 tka is taken by me! :) I will thank u once I get on the computer!

666 is a good number.

[Datsun]

I want 000 OOO.

[wasabisashimi]

Do you have to pay extra money for 888 number?

[carisear]

only if you have a crooked agent.

my dad has an 888 plate, i have a 999, and my sister had a 000.

[TL_99]

i'm looking for 388 FIT. that's going to be impossible to find

[spoon.ek9]

i love my plate, can't beat JDM :D

[J____]

this is aweseom! im goin to look for teh same when i insure my car again. Did you just call all agents and ask if they had triple numbers? Thnx op!

on a side note i saw this place when i was in san fran lol. all the chinese peeps will knw it :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/Blinky2001/IMG_2546-1.jpg

[trollguy]

woops, nvm

[jbsali]

everyone in my family has a triple number license plate. then again, my brother works in insurance. LOL

[slammer111]

I want 000 OOO.That doesn't exist. I and O don't exist in non-custom BC plates.
on a side note i saw this place when i was in san fran lol. all the chinese peeps will knw it :DWhat does this say? CAO 8888? Maybe I'm just too whitewashed.

[skyxx]

my dad has an 888 plate, i have a 999, and my sister had a 000.

And by crooked he meant "something" else. ;)

cao = fuk in mandarin (mainland china, tw uses gan) and 8888 = richrichrichrich

[Timpo]

why would you guys want a triple number plate? :confused:
especially if it's going to cost you extra money, and it is nothing special.

also I don't want people to remember my license plate number so easily.

[JordanLee]

It makes photoshopping the plate easier :p But it just looks cooler I guess.

[jmanhas]

it won't cost you extra money for a triple number plate, unless your insurance agent is a douche and wants to charge you...you just have to be really lucky when you call in, or you have to know people

[asahai69]

is this like an asian thing? cuz i dont understand whats goin on here

[Nvasion]

8 is chinese lucky number

[spoon.ek9]

it's not necessarily an asian thing, it's a novelty to have a unique license plate like these.

[PiuYi]

unless triple numbers is +50hp then i dont care whats on my license plate

[JSALES]

don't the chinese also dislike the number 4? so would a 444 license plate number be bad? haha

[Amuse]

888 = 8+8+8 = 24!

[jeff_alexander]

888 = 8+8+8 = 24!

24= easy death according to my chinese friend

so 888 would be considered unlucky i guess.

[BMW135i]

424 is the worst of all to chinese, right ??

[1exotic]

Fail.

Ricer with 666, car is blacked out with a ugly body kit, owner thinks it's from hell or something...

sorry to bump this old thread, but does anyone know where to get some now?

[Datsun]

sorry to bump this old thread, but does anyone know where to get some now?

Go up to Autoplan store and ask to see what plates they currently have.

[JSALES]

my friend's red 370Z has the license plate 666, it's like devil Z haha

[ancient_510]

I have 510 plates on a 510.

[tofu1413]

common practice for plates matching cars.

like BMWs and Porsches.


had the number matching plate on my old porsche

[JSALES]

that's something I would want like when I get my 240, I'd hope I get the plate number 240 SXX

[CP.AR]

FALSE.

888 is not the sweetest number a chinese person can get.
168 is the proper answer :fuckyea:

[belaud]

my old plate was "524", it rougly translates to (hard to die) in chilese.

[cho]

i have 143 ;)

[belaud]

You have 666 fails! :fullofwin:

[StylinRed]

007 BND would be sweet :)

[ae101]

i remember i spotted this a long time ago
http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/rupert_ho/nice%20cars/CIMG2304.jpg
i bet u already know what 8 means in chinese (with so many chinese members on here)

[punkwax]

Just call around.

I have 420 plates.

[46_valentinor]

my first license plate was 163. pretty awesome if you ask me, haha.

[46_valentinor]

well im glad i got rid of it and got "edit instead LOLOL!!

[k3mps]

how much is it for a new plate? $15?
btw does anybody know any places that have the winter games plates?
i found one a few days ago but someone took it

[Sky_High]

not good if you frequently participate in one night stands :ilied:

Explain.

[alex.w *//]

$18, winter game plates are long gone

luckily back then when i changed my plate, i didn't give mine back to icbc and kept it as souvineer

[skylinergtr]

my dad has triple 8's, and he loves these plates to death.

no, our family is not asian haha.

[SumAznGuy]

I remember back in the late 90's when it was cool to have an HKS lettered plate, just like the P-car guys and their 996/997 plates.

[325isMSPORT]

i only got 335 :okay: but i drive a 325

[CP.AR]

Explain.

let's break up 163 in cantonese.

16 or one-six sounds like "keep on"
3 sounds like "giving birth"

hence, 163 can become keep on giving birth

[Expresso]

I'm in the market for a new LP, wonder if anyone has any updates for this thread?

Might give a couple places a call, definitely not a need just a want haha.

[tiger_handheld]

if anyone finds a 604 DAK plate - let me know :)

[k3mps]

hmm i'd love 000SKY

[68style]

Am I missing something here? What the fuck difference does it make what your stupid license plate says?

[BorLorBao]

^ it is just preference. Just because you don't give a holey shirt about it doesn't mean others don't.

[46_valentinor]

let's break up 163 in cantonese.

16 or one-six sounds like "keep on"
3 sounds like "giving birth"

hence, 163 can become keep on giving birth

or instead of "giving birth" it could also mean "live" which was how i understood it as. lol

[HondaGuy]

Its kinda like having a easy format of numbers thats simple to remember, sorta like your cell number. Anyone remember back in late 90s when you activate a phone from Rogers and before you sign the contact, the rep offers a clipboard with all the available numbers...you would try to find a string of easy numbers.

The number 8 is something preferred by some asian but whatever floats ppls boat.

I knew something who got 000-GPS...hahah...
Another friend got MAN-122 in 1998...he was so upset that 123 was taken lol...

[Duff Beer]

Saw a sweet smokey granite mica (I think it's called..) Lexus IS last night on Kingsway, all the way from Vancouver area to about Joyce. [888 xxx] plate :)

[Mr.C]

Hm, new project. Find a plate with 740 on it. Maybe BMW 740, although that would have to be custom.

[ShadowBun]

Anyone know any place with 888 plate?

[belaud]

someone find me an 666 STI or STI 666 plate :okay:

[jackmeister]

i got myself an 888 plate. this is after bugging my insurance dude for 8 years and referring friends, family & co-workers to him.

[ShadowBun]

lol dam that rare nowadays eh

[CP.AR]

Am I missing something here? What the fuck difference does it make what your stupid license plate says?

simply because racecar

[Meister1982]

what kind of world do you live in? since when does race cars usually have license plates? :failed:

City of Richmond :troll:

[dygital]

So do you just call up insurance places and ask them if they have a certain license plate? Then you go there and pay $18 to buy the 2 plates and be on your merry way?

I'm picking up a new car in a month so do I just bring the 2 plates to the dealership?

[Edison_Chen]

If your buying a car at the dealership, the dealer will probably arrange an insurance agent to do the insurance when you pick up your car. If you currently don't have plates, the agent will bring some plates with them. They may or may not let you choose the number plates they have on them, depending on the agent.

Tip: if your sales person has a good relationship with the insurance agent, they might be able to maybe help keep an eye out for a perticular set of numbers

[iam_dan]

my old plate was "524", it rougly translates to (hard to die) in chilese.

....doesnt it translate to 'starve to death' ?


dygital:

You can phone insurance places if they have certain plates, but plates are not simply bought. The only way you'll walk out of their office with a plate is if you register it onto a vehicle first. If you have plates lying around, then yes you can bring it into your dealership when you pick up your car. You'll save $18 because you wont need new plates.

[cho]

"not easy to die" for 524

[dygital]

....doesnt it translate to 'starve to death' ?

So if I don't have a vehicle, I can't buy the plate? I really want a plate with 000-_ _ _ ... and I'm also quite confused :D... I thought the dealership gave you free plates, or do they charge you the $18 anyways ?

[Raid3n]

fees relating to insurance and license plates have nothing to do with the dealership. it's all from ICBC

[iam_dan]

That's correct. You can't get a new plate without attaching it to a vehicle through insurance.
The $18 cost is there, hidden somewhere, whether your agent tells you or not.

Dealerships have insurance agents, but those agents are usually sourced out to an office nearby. They call and arrange for an agent to show up at the dealership when you are picking up your car. Some larger dealerships/auto malls might have an in-house insurance company that is located on site. They are not part of the dealership/auto mall though. They are just 'on-site'.

[dink]

My mom has the same 888 plate for 23 years, it's been on 3 different cars.

[jaretron]

I just got "111" from my insurance broker. He had "000" but I was a day late.

[iam_dan]

someone just cancelled an 888 plate at my office lol
he was too cool for triple 8's

i saw a truck with an 8888 plate a week ago. pretty impressive.. damned hard to get

[iam_dan]

The insurance office on 435A North Rd, Coquitlam has a motorcycle plate S95 888

[HonestTea]

Once they cancel, can you take it right away? :)

[iam_dan]

I wish haha..
They go straight to ICBC's Surrendered Plates department after it's cancelled.
I honestly don't know what happens to the plates after that.. hmm

[Lancerion]

Landmark Insurance on Kingsway have a box great for NSX owners!

100-124 NSX, and yes 111 is still there.

my dad got 444, because he thought it was pretty funny.... my mom said nothing.

[dvst8]

Anyone got hookups to 777-***? Holla!

[Simplex123]

666 is good in Cantonese. 111 would be one of the worst ones to Chinese people. Right up there with 164/444
Posted via RS Mobile

[Harvey Specter]

I thought 888 is the best number combo for Chinese? I currently got 111 and 222 plates on my cars, I've seen quite a few cars lately with triple # plates.

I really want a 750 plate for my 750. There's a black 750 which I believe belongs to one of the BMW dealers that has the 750 plate.

[pastarocket]

Does anyone have a licence plate with "333"? A triple threat? A buddy of mine said it could mean the driver has good driving skills, drives a nice car, and maybe, just maybe, has a hot girlfriend, wife.

I just told him "At the end of the day, it's just a number." :D

A driver can have a licence plate "888" and drive a beater.

167 all the way haha

[xxxrsxxx]

[Lancerion]

Not triple number but Maple Leaf on Fraser have some "RSX" plates.
Posted via RS Mobile

[xxxrsxxx]

that's not bad, I checked out one on main and 16th, they had something like PCX

[Ikkaku]

lol for a while at work (Dueck dealership) the insurance people carried TRD plates

[umpadupa]

to be honest, lots of agents hold the triples for friends and family only. unless.
after plates go to the surrendered plates department, they get recycled.
however because if you dont cancel your plates, u get to keep them after expiry; icbc cant reuse the letters again. hence why it used to be xxx 000 and now 000 xxx. They had to switch it around because they ran out of numbers. U will NEVER get a 000 OOO plate because there arnt any O allowed, its too confusing. a lot of times 1 and I dont get put out often too.

[Lancerion]

In addition to "O", these letters are not used also:

I Q U Y Z

For those who maybe interested in reading about how our license plate system works, history, variety, etc. Here are some good links:

http://www.bcpl8s.ca/

http://www.licenseplates.cc/highs.php?where=BC

[meme405]

a lot of times 1 and I dont get put out often too.

This is incorrect, they use all the numbers, they do not use all the letters.

The guy above me has the ones they do not use correctly.

The other thing thats interesting, however fairly obvious, you cannot use custom plates to create a regular plates pattern.

For example I was going to do 123 ABC in personalized plates but was told I can't.

[underscore]

lol for a while at work (Dueck dealership) the insurance people carried TRD plates

I've got a 666 xxx, I'd love to get my hands on 185 TRD though. Better still would be 185 WRC.

[cho]

mines 169 if you know what i mean

[dared3vil0]

I really want a non vanity plate with "227 CYC"

:(

[keifun]

Anybody knows of any autoplan dealers that carry 000 WRX plates?

[tofu1413]

i dont think there are any wrx plates left....

i know there are a few RSX plates around

[Lancerion]

Yup, for those looking for car name letters, I called a few places last week and only RSX and NSX for now. They are not new either, just leftovers with crappy numbers.

[mk1freak]

one of the maintenance guys at work drives a old sienna with the license plate "911 GEM" are plates transferable?

[JordanLee]

Plates can't be transferred between 2 individuals. Sucks

I saw a car with the plate 333 SSS parked outside that insurance place. So jealous. LOL

Can you just swap plates? I thought you could only renew your plate every time you renew your insurance?

[Groot]

i believe you can buy a new plate for $17? correct me if im wrong

You can change plates anytime, no need to renew insurance.

[i-vtecyo]

Mine is 788 SSS. 888 and 777 were taken before I got there.. If you're looking for the triple SSS plates from 700-900, the insurance broker near Boundary and Canada Way has them.

[Groot]

but 8+8+8 = 24 :troll:

[twitchyzero]

anyone seen 992 996 999 GTS ITR GTR GTI MR2 EVO STI FRS BRZ AMG BMW?

The holy grail for me would be "227 CYC" i'd legit offer someone $50 if they found an insurance broker with that...

I've been searching for a triple number and triple letter plate for ages...always missed out, since most places hold them for themselves, friends or family.

I started seeing LLL, NNN a few months ago and PPP, RRR, SSS recently.

Since "Q", "U", "Y", "Z" are not used and "M" was reserved for Olympic plates, has anyone seen TTT, VVV, WWW, XXX yet? I don't think those are released yet.

[ae101]

my friend has XBL on her plates & she did not know it stand for xbox live in till i told her lol, now i think she wants another plate with PSN

I was about to post the exact same face, but then I realized that they're going to start issuing AA0-00A plates very soon.

The MR2 owners (and rx7, etc) can finally get plates that match their car :fullofwin:

Edit: Didn't notice the I's though.. Lool

[xXSupa]

Mine is 788 SSS. 888 and 777 were taken before I got there.. If you're looking for the triple SSS plates from 700-900, the insurance broker near Boundary and Canada Way has them.

I just called in, and they said it's gone. Either it's really gone, or they're just trolling me. They currently only have TLN plates

[swfk]

I called around and got lucky to find a 000. Drove from South Van to North Van. Worth it. $18 tax included

[tomatogunk]

Had mine replaced recently with SSS

Has anybody seen WRC plates? My hunt continues..

[TatsuyaKataoka]

Will R34 plates be up for grabs when it becomes legal in January?

034-xxx, xxx-GTR, xxx-SKY

Or maybe a vanity plate would be better.

[xXSupa]

Just called in a bunch more places. HUGE list here, gonna spoiler it.

No triples, some noteworthy letters: SRS, PWR, RSX

If anyone finds any SXL, SMA, or SSS plates other than the ones I already listed, please let me know. Thanks.

Or maybe a vanity plate would be better.

The new format is BB0-00B, so there's not going to be R34.

SKY won't happen either since the letter Y is not used along with I O Q U Z.

[Lancerion]

Whoever is interested in pattern license plates:

I was just at 1st Ave T&T and they have 375-399 TNN, 525-549 TNN.

377 TNN is still available, 388 and 399 gone.

We are now in the 16th series of license plates and "WRX" is part of it.

from where I came from SVN = Sovereign which is much better than seven lol.

or Turtle SVN Sub-Version Node management system....which is very nerdy.

[hchang]

Can somebody explain this process to me?

So say I found a plate I want at an insurance broker, all I do is reserve it, go in pay $18, surrender my current plates, get new tags and drive out with present insurance?

How do we know which broker has what? Just call in every place and ask?

I'm personally looking for a WRX plate also, I called like 200 places last week and still no sign of them. The closest one I managed to encounter is WRV.

If ICBC is releasing them in order, then WRW is next, and WRX will come right after.

If anyone knows of a place that carries WRX, please do post the location. Thanks!

Adding your name to the vehicle's owner will require new plates.

If you want to bring the plates from the old car over, then the new car will have to be under her name only.

[Lancerion]

Has anyone managed to locate or seen WRX on the roads yet?

I've been calling places since the last week of December up until now and still couldn't find it :(

One place is at WTT already so WRX must be out there somewhere.

They have, as of today, about 3 plates left, all within 840-849, none with double digits.

Thank you for this nice spot!

And also a tip for you guys with aircare this year, if you go in and cancel your insurance, then renew your insurance with a new plate (of course), you can completely bypass having to do aircare as you will renew in 2015.

Fee for this I think is ~$40 which is cheaper than any work to pass aircare etc.

I am not sure what they do if it has expired. You can go insure but will they make you take aircare on temp insurance first, I do not know.

From what I understand, if you start a new policy BEFORE your expiration it is an annual renewal, so 2015 would be after aircare has shut down.

Maybe ask an insurance agent for a straight answer.
