Help me pick a personalized tag!

FINALLY got my Mini up and running! It's an '02 Pure Silver MCS. So it's time to think about a tag.

I've got a US Army tag on my Dodge Charger, thought about getting one on my MCS until I saw this one for the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum. The checkers make it a no-brainer, and there is a bonus; 3 or 4 times a year, they have a Tag Day where you get to do some laps if you have the Barber tag.



You can customize it, but you only get 5 characters.

MINI and COOP aren't available.
I really wanted KCCO or CHIVE, not available. CHIVR is, though.
02MCS is available.

Any other good suggestions? Remember, I can only get 5 characters.

Don't get anything Chive related. Site's already overhyped, the fad will likely be over soon. You may as well get "YOLO" or something like that.

Something MINI related would be more timeless, or something personal to you. "02MCS" works. With 5 characters you could do something like "U2BIG", "BMINI", "AGILE", "R53", "WHEEE"... Just off the top of my head.

Dunno about The Chive being overhyped, but it's a moot point anyway. "U2BIG" is available, kinda liking that one. I like "02MCS" but it just seems a bit redundant. I remember making fun of a guy who had "BMW330I" on his BMW 330i, since it had the same thing just 18" away from his tag.

7 on a regular tag, but that Barber tag only has room for 5.

I can't remember if Alabama requires front plate. If so, INIM. In the rear view mirror of the person in front of you, it reads MINI.

This is perfect!!
Two reasons:

2) Most other cars are too big
