It's a Poll about "One Three Five" vs "One Thirty Five"...

At the moment it's 18-3 in favour of "Thirty"... WTF?

And it was decided that the correct answer is 'One hundred and thirty five injection'.

I'd have to say that a 135i is a "one-three-five-i" just like a 323i is a "three-two-three-i" and a 335d would be a "three-three-five-dee" however, I'd call a 130i a "one-thirty-i" but 320i "SLOW!"

The rule is whichever way has the LEAST syllables.

ONE THIR TY FIVE = 4

ONE THREE FIVE = 3 <<WINS

ONE THREE ZE RO = 4

ONE THIR TY = 3 << WINS

ONE ONE EIGHT ties with ONE EIGH TEEN but the former rolls off the tongue better
