There must be another factor because I've had my jet black '05 since new, and have never been pulled over and I'm not what you might call a 'sheep.' I take advantage of any hole I can get. Of course, now that I wrote that, I'm due for a light bar in my rear view any day now.

Different areas of the country, or even state, have law enforcement agencies that have differing, let's call them 'tolerances,' for various forms of traffic law breakage. As a generality, I have found that the more rural you are, the more strict are the local police forces. I live, and drive in, an area with a county police force, but on my way to work I pass through 2 or 3 incorporated villages, each of which have their own police 'force,' that you don't wanna sneeze the wrong way in. I work within city limits, and these guys have enough to do without worrying too much about the random, or not so random, traffic law breaker. These are all factors.

 

XTB-9503 i know right, pretty sweet ay it even rhyms! im thinking of DAS MINI because it means "the mini" in german and it is owned by a german company. or HNG LUSE.

so Lisa you started this mess what is your tag going to say

 

hahaha... man I can so relate!

 

UR2CLOS

 

CMYMC - reads same forward and backwards. Got the plate for my R50 and kept it for my R56. Thinking of something different though.

 

QXXOTIC

(Quixotic) Defined as:

In pursuit of impractical and unreachable goals a'la Don Quixote.

It's also a combination of

Quick and Exxotic

.....so it fits perfectly!

 

I suppose some one might think I'm religious JC-WKS, you know Jesus etc.
You MINI people know

 

maybe someone will think of Jesus before trying to break in...its like security

 

I'm thinkin either ZOMG or EPC MNI for mine. I'm getting really down to the wire here, I'll be picking my car up in the next week (I hope!)

Although my car will be Oxygen Blue in color and the mention of The Tardis really has me thinking.... I love me some Doctor Who....

 

I was afraid those not familiar with Doctor Who might misunderstand a plate containing the letters TARDxx, though I did consider something a bit more obscure, like MY TYP40. In the end, "WHO 10" just looked cleaner

 

Yeah, it's possible that the previous owner put some kind of curse on the car and now I just have a bad luck streak. Lets see, blown strut towers, bent wheels, scratches out the yin yang !! As far as the whole black cars get pulled over more, I got that from one of those stories you read on the internet. I believe it was on AOL. I know, I shouldn't believe everything I read, but in my case it just sounded so true.

 

I'm about to get mine to say LAGOM it's a swedish word that doesn't really translate to english but means not to big not small, but just right. . .aka MINI

 

FLYNACE

 

My front (ie: fake) plate says LMW 28IF (obscure Beatles reference) and my real plate in rear says FUN SZ.

After seven years and two MINIs I finally have vanity plates

My wife couldn't think of any thing to get me for Xmas and ordered

JIMINI 1

for a fun gift to make my MINI just that more special !

 

DREWVY 1

My first name + groovy (to evoke the spirit of the '60's).

Originally on the Jetta I drove before Nigel, but I think they still fit.

 

My "Tribute" to Deutschland:

 

or BACKOFF

Kind of hard to see Dr Evil's plate in this shot. If you can't see it, it reads, "DR EEVL".



And on our two Justacoopers, the plates represent one of our other interests:

 

If big trucks are keeping up with you to the point where they are on your a$$, you are doing your Mini a serious disservice. I suggest remedial motoring 101 classes.

My license plate reads, 2L8 ULUZ
