    What kind of car was it? An ideal one like a BMW?

    Ha. Good one.

    My mind was so blown, I didn't really notice what kind of car it was.

    Obviously more so than me; I had to Google to find out what the hell you were talking about. o:)
    That is very clever.

    Under Pressure with David Bowie and Freddie Mercury is a classic.

    Hg's vocals have a way of relieving the pressure.

    A couple of years ago I saw a car whose WA license plate said '3EHKA'.

    This was obviously (to me, at least) a personalized license plate. Can any of you figure out the meaning of this plate?

    I Googled it and got some hits, but I still don't know what it's supposed to be. Try Googling it, and see what you can figure out.

    Here are a couple of hints: it was a personalized license plate for someone from a European country where they don't use a Roman alphabet.

    Oh, okay then. That's more sensible. Until you divulged that, all that I could think of was that it might be a misspelling of a really bad poker hand.

    Not Russian, but you're on the right track. It's not Zack, but it does start with Z (as a Roman letter).

    Another hint: The driver was almost certainly female.

    In the Cyrillic alphabet, 'З' corresponds to Z in the Roman alphabet, and 'H' corresponds to N, so the driver's name was probably Zenka.

    If I had to guess, I'd say that she was Serbian.

    H corresponds to G in cyrillic. For instance Harry is Garry in Russian or what kind of correspondence are we talking about?
