[ironchef]

Maybe its not oil money, but I'm inclined to believe it is.

unlike here in the usa where its like $50 bux to get a custom plate,

in the uk its a much higher price (not this much but still) and its really simple

too: like AB423 to where its initials of your name and can go for $6,000.00.

Some people have so much money that this would be like us buying new floor mats for our cars. He doesn't care, and neither should yall. Lol

[Doppelgänger]

lol @ you guys lack of reading comprehension. The article says he owns a business making custom car parts. Also, the money wasn't all wasted, but it went to good use. It's just as "silly" as people making contributions to organizations.... but to show for it, he got a coveted tag.


His company, Kahn Design, now buys new top-of-the-range cars and strips them out before redesigning them ready to be sold.



The council sold it to raise money for a charity which aims to raise the standards of young drivers.

yea but still man that's as bad as the idiot that paid close to a mil for that glass top GT500KR at Barrett Jackson auction. yea it went to a good cause but you gotta look after your financials in the process. The guy can't even write off the purchase of the plate or the car as a tax deduction because he got something in return for it

[Doppelgänger]

I'm sure UK tax laws are different the US... so who knows. But the article said "£375,000 plus VAT - and other charges" So he could show he just bought the place for regular price and made a donation at the same time lol

[IDCoconut]

lol why do you all care so much?

[RISKYB]

too much for a freakin tag/custom plate....

[Doppelgänger]

See, this is the problem with Americans..... no heart for anything but ASSCAR. I guess very few of you people understand how serious they are about F1 overseas.

[DieselNuts]

If i ever come across that car, im gonna steal the plate...

[isa2o3]

damn thats just pure stupidity

[ironchef]

See, this is the problem with Americans..... no heart for anything but ASSCAR. I guess very few of you people understand how serious they are about F1 overseas.How is that relevant in the least? I hate Nascar, and I think F1 is cool. But at the same time to pay over $800,000 for a custom tag is ridiculous, even if it does go to a good cause.

hahah if a brown person has money ,, its automatically "oil money" haha wtf


since most of the laundromats, convenient stores, dry cleaners aren't owned by brown people. That brings in a LOT of money, fyi.

[BTLFED]

Ignorance is running rampant in this thread.

[JITB]

lol stupid americans..

[yudalicious]

failure to read article and making yourself look like a tool is ftl.

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

His financial status? LOLOL.

Obviously if the motherfuker has enough to drop 375k Euros, then he has enough for the rest of the sh!t he owns. It's not like he used his life savings to pay for it. The glasstop GT500KR that was bought for almost a mill? Guess what, I'm sure the dude still has enough to buy 3 or 4 of em. Those people are called RICH for a reason.
They got the dough to just throw around.
