Thought might be good place to start vanity plate name list to show MINI pride :

Mine is MINI4US, wife nixed MINI4ME...........

Have seen MINI, MOTORING, MINIONE,MINIFUN and GOMINI in Maryland...........anybody else doing the vanity thing and not from California (state of the vanity plate madness)

First time in 30 years of driving a car moved me to get a vanity plate....$ 50 extra charge.......in Maryland....

Up North here in BC-Canada, it's $100 to get processed, than $40/year to keep it. What's the currency conversion on that to US funds per year?........like 5 bucks?
Still thinking of 'the perfect' plate to use.

I have ordered GBMINI but in Massachusetts it takes 10+ weeks to get - but I can wait :smile:
I only know of one other Mini Cooper (a grey S) locally - so I have not seen anyone elses vanity plates yet.

If my monthly payment wasn't high enough already, I'd go with something like "MINIROKT" or something along thoes lines, depending on # of letters...

My wife really liked the Silk Green and said with that plate it had to be that color, but I ended up ordering Pepper White...the plate still works for me though !!

I wanted a plate that said "Itsamini", but it was all ready taken, so I settled for MINI 02..as this is my second mini... At the local Chevy dealer, one of the salesman has a cooper s and his plate is MINI4PLY (mini 4 play)...

I don't get "T1H5 0N" either... Tihson... Tyson? Damn I feel stupid.

My current vanity plate is ENGIN9, after my favorite Deftones song, Engine 9. Everyone thinks I'm a firefighter though!
Someone at my college stole my front plate though (apparently a Deftones fan) so I need to replace my other plate now since it's listed with the police as stolen. I'm not sure if my new vanity plate will be Mini related since my wait time is 9-12 months and it would be weird sporting it on the Mustang. Also, isn't a Mini with a Mini plate a bit too cliche?
