It's a very good one, undoubtedly!
Sadly, it took me about 5 minutes to figure out what that meant...

Good one!

Well, I certainly don't deserve any credit for it... JCWGurl appears to have it in her home state (see post #221) - so she's the lucky one!

You should put a light bar on your MINI off of a cruiser, put a "perp" lying across the bonnet cuffed and you in your uniform for a sig pic.

My Mini has 28 GSL because that's my Autocross number. My Cougar has L8 & LST (because I'm always late and lost) and my husband has LST & L8 (cuz we're usually lost when he's driving).

Turn your back to your monitor and read it using a mirror (just like you would if the MINI was behind you and you looked in your rearview mirror).

My last name is King. And for the last 15+ years my father and I have been calling one another Big King and Little King. So my MINI is now MNIKING.

On the MINI it almost seems pretentious, and some folks ahve said to me "Oh yeah, you are the MINI KING". No, it isn't ego, it is the MINIs family nickname

PS If any of you are in the LA area, and get a wave from MNIKING, please wave back.

[quote=Chili Red & Pepper White;1205253]JCWGurl, Does that actually work ? Do the Left Lane Lollygaggers go back where they belong when they see you behind them ? (99% rhetorical question as I'm sure they do not).

No - but people have pulled next to me after me following them and commented that they read it

Brilliant! But... also impossible for almost anyone to "get" without explanation.

I am impressed at your ingenuity though.
