thought it was just a Euro plate, but now I got it. Very clever indeed.

Thanks!

The guy in the MINI, in front of me at the Starbuck's drive-thru, got it right away. He took the time to park, and walk over to let me know it looked great...in the rearview mirror.

If I don't go the safe route and get my initials or a low number, I'm considering "L O GUVNA" OR "BLOODY L"

Okay so I finally joined the ranks with my own personalized plate: R60S
Couldn't resist it since it was available. If you live in CA here are some I was considering and are available:
PCKTSUV MAXISUV MINI2XL MINI1XL PWEESUV DNKYSUV

12R60S DWRFSUV SPCOUS 2X MINI MYXLMNI PDGYMNI

OXYMINI JMBOMNI MNDOMNI

My wife and a lot of my friends liked the PCKTSUV but I could resist the one I got even though I was told only fellow MINI owners would get it.

I haven't even gotten the normal plates yet but I've order personalized plates with WEE JM JR "Wee Jam Jar" which, in British Cockney, means Small Car. I thought about WEE SAV for Small Sport Activity Vehicle but I figured many would see it more as We Save. :-}

I've had this plate since the mid '90s. It's how I got my screen name.



Got this one for the new CTS-V wagon.

It didn't strike me how sharklike the Royal Grey was until it arrived, but it reminds me of a shark... so I ordered VVVVVV.

Now my All4 has bite, a la Domokun. No pics, car is at dealer for injector replacement (x2) at 7k miles. :(

Cheers,
Tad

My Vanity Plates

Been driving a MINI for close to ten years now and my wife decided it was time for vanity plates as a Xmas gift a couple of years ago.

I finally got around to taking a picture of my vanity plate, previously mentioned, during last week's snow... the only time it isn't in motion is with this much!

You'll just have to trust me that there's a Royal Grey Countryman attached to that plate, under there somewhere...

Cheers,
Tad

I have a few ideas as to the vanity plate but I'm not letting my best idea(s) out until I actually have the plate in the "Application Stage" with the DMV. I haven't even received the standard plates yet (It's only been 2 weeks) and I can't wait to replace them with my favorite choice, or Plan B or Plan C if they are taken. Less than 2 weeks of Mini Ownership and I'm already a "Mini Junkie"..that was Fast...

The CM is the dog car.

In the picture below Cooper is on the left, Zen is on the right.
