Passing an English owned garage on the Mussidan road in Ribérac yesterday

I noticed on the forecourt a copper coloured Volvo estate with black windows .....

registration  RO5 BIF  [:)]

presumably owned by a wealthy'ish Irish person with a sense of fun. [blink]

If I had the money, I'd buy it just for the number plate.

wealthy'ish because I don't think a customised Volvo estate would come cheap

Irish because when I last lived in England number plates with an I in the letters were for vehicles registered in Ireland

and sense of fun because I think it's funny

Ok. Was curious as the reg has nothing to do with the Irish numbering system.

Thanks!

It is the Irish system as in Northern Ireland, which differs from the main uk system as regards availability of letters. Main uk system does not use letters i or z but NI system does (hence "BIF" only possible in NI).
