This is what I have on my 2006 Mini...




Picked up a new Clubman two weeks ago and I'm still waiting on its personalized plate. Not gonna be quite as Mini-specific as the one on my R53 though. More importantly, SWMBO will like it.

Is this the MINI I'll be looking for in Boston? That is one clean boot!

If the forecast stays the way it is, (no rain) I'll probably drive this MINI. Yeah, the boot doesn't stay clean very long, just long enough after washing to pull it into the garage! One of my few peeves about the design of the car.

Violet DC, I'm glad you were able to find your MINI under all that snow you got. Plate looks right a home on your MINI.

Ha! U're right about that one, veggi! Lucky 4 me, a very nice neighbor freed Scoopie 4 me, and all I needed 2 do was back her out a bit so I could install the front plate!

Happy Holidays, Every1!!!

Is there a website to order such a tag?
And what is 2953?

This and many other questions inquiring minds want to know.

plates ordered

ooh, ooh I just sent in my 'you got your choice, now show us the money letter' I am excited!!! First a MINI, and now a fancy plate for her, aahhh.
I chose "AREA 53", we call her "Roswell" and in about 10 weeks she will have her identity bracelets.

isn't it area 51?

orrr... "R53" is that what you're playing?

I've got my form ready for "BIGNUF" (clubman, get it?)... need to drop it off and then wait.

I've heard of Area 51 so is Area 53 a secret alien base also?

Okay, so yeah technically it is area 51, but that was taken and so was area 52...but get this "Roswell" my beloved new-2-me mini is an R53. So what better than AREA 53. It is a play on both! Plus I'm a math teacher so having something like area is "geek-hip".

I love BIGNUF...and I think I get it.
