Mowa - I looked into the Tui and although I love the sound, I want something with dual tips - the Capristo will be designed with dual 85mm tips

No mods yet on the car....Got a call from Quartermile saying wing will not ship from Germany until mid March!!! ARGHHHH!! Might as well order the sideskirts and lip now if it takes that long...
Only mod now is my plate LOL: D466 (probably will be most expensive mod on this car anyhow)

bottomline - nice avatar - almost like the view from my room 
Plates are so expensive due to the supply and demand issues....There are only like 1,000 (numbers 1-4 and letters A-E) 2-digit plates and 10,000 3-digit plates in Dubai....I would love to get a 3-digit plate but they start at USD 80K!!! WOuld rather get a Range Rover or a Carrera S for that kinda dough

hah - I think I figured out who you are: brand manager for the UAE operatins of the best sports car company in the world ....Do I get a discount on my 997TT now
Also, makes sense since my dad keeps looking through that 997 order guide LOL

69360 is only OK actually since it is 5 digits (the max you can have)...Might have a personal meaning to the owner but would not fetch big $$$ in th market
Less digits = more expensive
More repeating numbers = more expensive
466 is supposed to be W12 (4 is read W in the UK and 6+6 is 12....It was for my dad's Conti GT but he cancelled it so)
My friend has D666 on his CGT :-O BIG $$$$

Just out of curiosity, who cares what numbers are on your plate? I know they go for big money like in the UK. I just dont get it. Is it a status symbol? R U the daddy mack with a cool two digit plate? People actually spend 80-100k on the plate???? That is just uncomprehendable to me. Care to explain????

20,000 for 3 digits is unreal....I'll take 3 if you can get them at that price (the plate number business in Dubai is a good one!)
Closer to 30,000 and above (all prices in USD of course)
They do not mean a thing except "Hey I have a cool plate and thus I am a rich baller"....I did not care much until I went to the Lambo dealer service department and saw that no Lambo even had a 4-digit plate!! They were all 3 or 2-digits...
