A Father Buys Personalized Number Plate for £26,000 for his Daughter



Father-daughter relationship is very special and we do know fathers usually indulge daughters a lot. But 41 year old Harbhajan Bains from Sutton Coldfield has created news by buying a personalized number plate for £26,000 in an auction for his eleven year old daughter. He bought the number plate at one of the DVLA Personalized Registrations auction which is held six times a year in Great Britain.

Collecting number private registrations seems to be a passion for this man and apparently he has a collection of some 25 such plates. So his purchase of a number plate “99 A” depicting his daughter’s year of birth and her initial not surprising but price he shelled out has caught a lot of attention. In fact he sees it as a superb investment, for these personalized number plates have huge demands and their value too goes up with time. It is ironical that in a world which is increasingly becoming globalized, personalized registrations, cell numbers, domain names etc. are becoming so exclusive and expensive.

So if you have dollars and pounds to spare and you think your near and dear ones deserve such extravagant gifts then do check out next auction of DVLA at Ardencote Manor Hotel and Country Club, Warwick to be held first week of December.

Toyota iQ Disco Dazzles You With Its Looks


Now this is one shiny car man! The Toyota iQ Disco is surely taking inspiration from the shiny disco ball. If there was any car made that would be perfect to ride to a disco, this would be it for sure. Made exclusively for the European markets, this car is all ‘discoed’ up not just in terms of its look. This one has the music too. Installed with a professional DJ sound system, you could surely get into the mood for some partying while you are driving itself.

It has a fully powered subwoofer / satellite speaker-system along with a 15-inch bass reflex subwoofer, a 2-channel mixer and two Numark NDX 800 players. So you see your only problem would be to control yourself from being carried away. You might be wondering about its sparkly surface. This has been achieved by placing mirror platelets with great care. It’s blinging up process is complete with 18″ alloy wheels and scissors doors.

Powered by a 1.33-liter Dual VVT-i petrol engine capable of churning out 98 HP, the iQ disco will sure be a showstopper when it is showcased at the upcoming, the “Cologne Rocks” event in Köln, Germany. Though I am not too much for the whole blinging up thing, but this one dosent seem so bad.
