Another numberplate one
In France the car numberplates have the number of the department (a bit like a county) on them, from 01 up to 95 (or at least they used to, it changed last year but that's another story).

For the last 14 years I've been trying to spot all the department numbers, in order. I'm currently looking for 63. This is quite a long term project, and may qualify more as a bizarre hobby than a habit. It does mean that I can get very excited at random moments while driving through France.

My wife does this with Victorian numberplates
She got the idea from Richard Herring, and is up to 202 out of 999.
