Current standings 2026:

10.IND PRG

9.UZ      Insel Fehmarn

8. IL      PRG

7. MGL PRG

6. NZ    Geneva

5. HK    MC

4. CI      Nicehttps://plates-spotting.cz/

3. VN    PRG

2. KH    PRG

1. S.M.  PRG

So, I didn’t know whether it was AM or AZ. The best thing to do is check Olavsplates. So, with kind regards, that is exactly what I did.

                     

 

It takes VW 50 minutes to build a car. In the same country—at Grünheide—Elon Musk churns out Teslas in 12 minutes. And soon, BYD (CHN) will open a factory in Szeged (H) where the process will take just 8 minutes. Guess which carmaker is going bust.

Tram spotters have it easier. Here, we call them “šotouši.”

Woche 48 (+2). Kein RKS

It only really began in October.

That held true for some years. But those years were bad right up until October. This year, it’s the exact opposite. After many years—a “new state.” And three times over, at that.

“Notti magiche” by Gianna Nannini accompanied me on my travels. The ultimate delight for a license-plate spotter: standing by a car with no idea where it’s from—yet sensing that it’s going to be something good, something big…

It happens rarely. They usually ask me: “And you have to go to DK by boat?” They usually turn around. And they don’t ask me about TN and turn around unexpectedly….

It wasn’t until today that I realized what it reminded me of. A utopian vision of doing good. To put them in a line. To organize and destroy their freedom. One of these monsters also appeared in Prague. Just like here, the insect didn’t move in, but even disappeared from a 50 m radius.
The EU project, sad and empty.

The motorcycle spot was overshadowed by a red transporter at the last moment. Samsung, however, was brilliant. It identified Canada at almost 100m.

Rather than trying to catch raw fish with great effort, it’s better to steal tastier food from travelers.

In the afternoon, returning the bike in the “main” city, finally a good hot meal and on the way back to our place, CY crossed my path.

                     

So before you click, what would you guess? That black moto Premiere was.
