DB1 spotted ... No, it ain't an Aston!



Stunning registration ... Wow, DB1 :-) Aston Martin-esque I think, but it was on a Volvo S40! As seen driving into KL Hilton.

In case you were wondering how the registration alphabet system works here ... Wikipedia has the answer!
Vehicles registered in the various states begin with specific letters as follows:
A: Perak
B: Selangor, including plates registered in Kuala Lumpur before the city separated as a Federal Territory in 1974.
C: Pahang
D: Kelantan
J: Johor, including Government (JDT1~JDT10) and Johor Military Force or Askar Timbalan Setia Negeri (JMF)
K: Kedah, including Langkawi (KV)
M: Malacca (Created by the British colonial government as one of four early Straits Settlements license plate prefixes, with "M" denoting "Malacca".)
N: Negeri Sembilan
P: Penang (Created by the British colonial government as one of four early Straits Settlements license plate prefixes, with "P" denoting "Penang".)
R: Perlis
T: Terengganu (plate T & TA were used by Kelantan)

Other plates which are sometimes seen in the Klang Valley include Q (Sarawak) and I do like the SA (Sabah) registered plates. Ones I don't like so much include PROTON, WAJA, PERODUA, and especially NAZA!
