The license plate says "yours to discover". Now I am getting curious. In Europe the diplomats are riding with CD plates.- French for Corps Diplomatique. French is the international language of diplomats, while the rest of us use English to get around the world. I've gotta come back to find out more about those plates! From Felisol
Perhaps it was a spy... or a sultan... or some equally exotic character. Do they allow diplomats immunity from parking tickets in your city, like they do in New York?
Could be practically anyone I would guess. Wouldn't the cars from foreign embassies or missions also carry Ontarian registration? You might have been driving behind the foreign minister from any country that has diplomatic relations with Canada.
Thanks for visiting my little corner of the world. I hope you enjoyed your stay here. Please leave a comment before you leave so I can visit your blog.
Most Ontario licence plates are blue on white, but diplomatic plates are RED. Hmmm. I wonder who was in that car ahead of us!

I don't know who is in the car, but sure like the composition of this shot. BJ
ReplyDelete?? who know, or is that nose as in the tissues?
ReplyDeleteEverytime I see the special car plates, too, I wonder who's inside. =)
ReplyDeleteMy Ruby Tuesday entries are now posted in my food blog and photo blog. Hope you can drop by. Thanks!
Never thought about license plates. Great shot, who's inside?
ReplyDeleteIt would have been interesting to know who was in the car. Probably a secretary out to get lunch.
ReplyDelete:-D

I always wonder the same thing when I see those plates.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat shot!My dad is from Hamilton,Ontario.
ReplyDeleteNow I will be forever wondering. lol.
ReplyDeleteHRH the Queen, of course!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm...could you call the local police and do a trace on the plate? lol sorry too much CSI!
ReplyDeleteNice shot though!
I don't see that many Ontarians traveling in Connecticut, but the crown stands out nicely in the middle of the plate.
ReplyDeleteAlthough don't some of the plates carry the tagline "Keep it Beautiful"?
They can't be big spending diplomats necessarily. It is a Toyota, not a Rolls-Royce they're driving!
Very clever catch!
ReplyDeleteI would have had to try and pass them to see if I recognized anyone. :)
Yup,me too! I always wonder who's inside the car! :) Who knows anyways! Mine is posted HERE. Happy RT!~
ReplyDeleteInteresting shot.
ReplyDeleteThis is something I didn't know.
Happy Ruby Tuesday.

ReplyDeleteRalph,
ReplyDeleteThe old plates, which some of still have on our cars (tee hee), say Keep it Beautiful. The new ones say Yours to Discover. ;-)
I love the crown on the plate, so royal looking!
ReplyDeleteProbably just one of the secretaries going for lunch!
ReplyDeleteSo, do they get special privileges wht those plate? Not stopped for speeding? No parking tickets?

ReplyDeleteSome diplomat I bet! *g* Great find!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo
ReplyDeleteMost of the diplomats here drive these huge Lincoln Town Cars so I appreciate the Corolla :)
Cool Shot. Maybe you should feel honnored getting so close to the higher ups. LOL.
ReplyDeleteA diplomate in a Toyota Corolla? Wonder which country he/she represent. Not one of the riches ones I guess :-)
ReplyDeleteEG, great post for Ruby Tuesday! RED is for diplomats! :)
