DJ - I have no freaking idea. How do you notice stuff like this?! I'm guessing it is the same kind of thing as a state license plate... BTW - love the new signature pic - Looks awesome!

i dunno, i tought everyone else did notice that as well. its just that any magazine i pick up, car review, or somethign official like that i see it. if you google porsche and look at few professional kinda pics, most of them have a plate starting with S GO, so i dunno, and those 3 pics were taken from only first 2 pages hehe
i was talking about this w my friend, and we were both puzzled by it so i figured i ask some porsche people

and the sig is appropreate for this time of the year i think

The letter 'D' in the blue bar on the left of the plate stands for Deutschland with the European Union's 12 star flag above it. The 'S' is the code for Stuttgart. The two stickers in the verticle position are the safety test sticker (orange for years 1997, 2001 and 2007) and the registration seal. The remaining letters and numbers are randomly assigned.
