After I had my Mini a short time, I looked at it, looked at Figgie Snotmonster my Chinese Pug, looked back at the car, and realized that my car and dog aesthetic needs are all aligned. Both are little short, fat, overpowered creatures with big eyes. A few months ago I got a plate recognizing one of my pug's cuter yet disturbing attributes...

Wow! This thread has many great plates and ideas.
When I'm at different MINI events like MOTD or MTTS I usually find myself taking
pictures of all the different tags from different states and I normally concentrate
on the vanity (personalized) tags, you can click here to see one of my Flickr sets.

Here is a picture of my old tag from my days in South Carolina.
Can you figure out the meaning??

I have a new tag on order that will look like the one below when I finally receive it.

I'm getting mine soon. 2nd choice - P MINI (my name is Patti). Not very creative, but not something I'll get tired of quickly.

Any suggestions for a 73' Mini with a plate that can only have 4 letters? Mini is already taken :wtc:

I thought having a 7 space plate was tough! How about:
CYA - See Ya' or CU - See You
BYE - BYE
FST - Fast
ICU - I See You
LTR - Later

Those are just a few I can think of.

Does that mean they are switching to Flat tags

I just tried TXDot online and it's still only taking 6 characters. Unless you know somewhere else to look?

We did get a personalized plate last year with the 6 characters and it was the flat plate.

It's going into effect in the next month or so, and they will at first be limited to new vehicle purchases and renewals for expiring plates. I'm not sure when they will be available for existing cars whose plates still have time left.
