I have been most curious, who in Ohio was able to get my old "PAGODA" plate??? The renewal window should have opened by now.

It's interesting. I bought my "71BENZ" plate a few weeks back. The ohio plates website allows you to enter a desired alpha numeric. Remembering the post on the PAGODA Ohio plate, I entered PAGODA and it came back as not available...hence, 71BENZ. Data base must not be updated.

Many ask the following question "What year and model is it?"

Answer quite simple really: "Have a look at the number plate; it's A 70 280!"

Freedrik,
You are now part of our very small club.
Garry, Jordan, and I all have "PAGODE" also.
We now have four countries represented with your addition to the group.
Garry, Jordan, and I were actually able to talk face to face at the 2011 PUB.
This is a fantastic group of people. I see it is your first post, so welcome.
Please post a picture of your car, we would love to see it.
I've posted a picture with my plate, but please don't comment on my tailpipes, they have been replaced since the picture was taken.  ;D
edit: The moldings have been replaced too, but not the damage below the plate...  :(  that is getting closer to the top of the list, but not there yet.
