First 08 Car

I spotted my first 2008 registered car last night (unusually late) It was a Toyota SUV.
Since 1987 there has been a bit of a date snobbery with cars, since thenthe registration plate on each car read the date first, ie, 08, then letter(s) for the county, ie. D for Dublin, then a number in order of registration.
So now if you ask someone about their car they'll tell you the date first then the model ie, I've got a zero one Primera.
A bit of an aside but the car I spotted was being driven by a black guy, which I thought was cool and indicative of the new Ireland
