Other Random Car Sightings [Photo Required]

Driving on the M40/A46 today, saw a brand new Aston Martin Rapide coming out of Prodrive (so who knows, it might be tuned). Apologies for the rubbish photos but I didn't have my proper camera on me, just a phone.

Stunning vehicle.

Like I said, people who can't take photos resort to those angles. :p

Also, are you sure those were 4 murcis or was that green one sporting that paintjob which fades as it gets warmer?
 
Sorry, late answer:

How does registration work in Switzerland, has he not simply paid for that sign?

Numberplates are person-linked, so you can keep your numberplate if you buy another car, or you can transfer it to a person you choose. This way most swiss numberplates remain with the same family or company for decades. And even if you have no car anymore you can still reserve the plates for a fee for some time (two years at max) until you purchase another car.

Plates under the 100 digit mark or some special ones like "7777" or with round numbers like "10000" or so are rarely sold. And if they are, they are auctioned for thousands of swiss francs.
You can see the auction prices for Thurgau (TG) plates for example at the government website http://www.auktion.tg.ch/ (click on "Besucher"). As expected there are no one- and two digit plates for sale, but the starting bid for random three digit number plates is already at 3000 Sfr. (Around 2800 USD, 2080 EUR, 1830 GBP)

If you look Really closly you'll see it has a different number.
 
decent looking, not flashy 4 door M3. And that?s a good thing IMO, even I almost didn?t notice it and thought it was a normal 3 series.

2008 Audi R8 V8 in matte black, recently registered to someone in my town. A really rare sight around here. And of course it was parked where it isn't allowed to do so. ;)
