Ordered a new plate for my 997S last night. The obvious things like 997S or 911 997S and other variations were already all taken. I didn't want anything too strange, or taunting to cops or jealous people who might key me, so this is what I ended up with:

Unfortunately, no room for the S.

 

alternatively, you could have used "IIIM"

 

How about:

3E5 53

?

Okay, who is a geek like me and can figure that one out?

 

You got me on that one, Skip. Looks like an error message on my HP calculators (or were those actually answers?!)

I of course studied all the rennlist threads on license plates before ordering, and one possible benefit of what I ordered, per rennlisters' advice, is that it's awful hard to remember if seen quickly at high speed!

 

Skip, no-one is a geek like you but...

3E5 in hex is 997 in decimal

 

Skip, 3E5 is 997 in hexadecimal. Not sure what the 53 means.

What do I win?

 

the 53 means S

The ASCII hex code for 'S' is 53

 

Graham is the winner, and is a geek even if he claims not to be...

 

A little late, but you did trigger my long lost memory of hex programming Too bad TTL binary wont fit..
