What are the chances!!!

Tallest · 03-17-2009, 05:20 PM

This is freaky. Was visiting my parents who live 200km away, and came to secured parking lot to leave my car for the night. The guard said he'll show me where to park - and walked me to a spot - next to another TiAg. I thought it was funny coincidence and since it was dark, I didn't look closer and went home.

Next morning, i come back and look closer. The other TiAg is an E91, but apart from that and color it has identical:

- interior trim
- transmission
- exterior spec (lights, grille, shadowline)
- license plate sans one character (!!)
- and was bought from same dealership according to license plate address written on it

Then it hits me (after all the frigin clues) - I have test driven this E91 in Nov 2007 before I bought mine. So, fast forward March 2009, I meet this car hundreds of kms away, on remote parking lot, and the parking-lot guard actually tells me to park in a spot next to it! Quite amuzing, wtf.

wow thats funny, i saw the same thing too. i was driving in my neighborhood and i saw the same car with the license plate being off by one digit as well.

Dude that is some mad coincidence. Did you try to see who owns the car? Maybe u were meant to be acquaintances or friends or something. Maybe you are meant to save the world!

I parked in 3 different car parks on 3 separate times and parked next to the identical car to me but with the next number plate up.

1st time it was freaky, second time really freaky, 3rd time it got boring.

I've followed a BMW 325i with the plate differing by a single character: xxxxFSX vs xxxxFRX

Wow, how can two similar mass produced cars run into each other?

No, not really.

My wife's Mini has a license plate that's only two numbers apart from the director of my group's Mini. Big woopty doo. It just means we bought our cars at roughly the same time and the paperwork with got filed with the DMV at the roughly same time. I see this other twin-Mini every day. What does it all mean?

I think you slightly missed the point trying to chill everyone down.

I meant that I saw the car when I was buying mine, and tried it. The wierd bit was being told to park into a spot that happened to be next to exact same car, some year and a half later.
