Where are you?
I still remember something, but I'm more interested in knowing if someone else remembers it too.

No, it's not that, you dirty minded b3tan. It's actually a licence plate number.

A309KKA.

We used to walk to primary school together, before phones when you still had to co-ordinate a walk to school with good timing and knowledge of when we both left our respective houses.

But our route around the old cemetary passed a house on the corner, which had this beaten up red car. We were already blood brothers, the kind with actual blood. We had to deepen our friendship further.

No idea why, but we said that we would both memorise the number plate together. Somehow the fact that we both knew something weird made our bond stronger than a clasped bloody handshake.

But then the bugger stopped talking to me some years later. We went on to the same school together, still best mates, then something happened. No idea what I did, might have been parents' intervention for something (we were about 14 at the time) but anyway, we kept bumping into each other rather awkwardly at school. Every time I saw him I thought:

A309KKA.

Have you googled it?
It comes up with an odd dead link.

It got 5 responses for me
Nothing related.

Last one took me to a license plate place, register for just this much dollar and we'll tell you about that plate.

Look at the cached version
It's Mr Teapot from 7 years ago...

"I like to memorise anything useless. There was a car which I walked by on my way to primary school in yr 5, made a story about it crashing into the school playground and I told the number plate to the police (A309KKA). Don't know why I memorise such useless things."

Not nearly as interesting as it looked. Bent.

I can tell you
It was a green nissan.

Do I get a prize?

I remember it being red...
Could have been green. Doesn't matter now, really.

Four letters. Not seven.
The others are numbers.

Sorry.

Sadly, I can remember the number plates...
...and details of all the cars I've owned in the past 25 years, and those of most of my father's too.

He had a 1960 Mini 850 with the registration 920DOC. Both the car and the number plate would be worth a bastard fortune now.

PST 360
Standard Ensign. No doubt both the car and the plate would be worth a bit too. I can tell you exactly where it is, and how deep a hole you'll have to dig. SEPA be damned, this was back in the olden days.
