Numbers and patterns

I have an interest in cars and looking at number plates is something I have always done. I have never seen it as odd, just a higher form of intelligence than what a neurotypical person would notice. I have had some strange experiences with remembering numberplates and then seeing them again.

My strangest experience was seeing a number plate in a city around 80 miles away from my home around age 11 or 12. It was the number plate 5KRM and I remembered that there was a similar one KRM5 near my home village which I often still see. I then went back to the same city at aged 18 for an open day at the university and walked past this car in a driveway, an hour or so later on the way back I saw it drive past me again, it was like a sign and one of the strangest experiences in my life.

I had a think about this one day and thought how funny it is that I seem to remember a small detail for so long or that I can look at a number plate and tell someone what year the car was made and often lots about the car like the model name and the engine sizes etc. most people wouldn't have a clue if I talked about it
