ACTUALSZ (and variations) are perfect for a MINI but if you want something unique, it's already 'out there'.

I really like BRILYNT. It makes me think a bit and certainly fits yellow!

Maybe I'm being too literal but I don't 'get' the R in these two:

BRMBLBEE
BRUMBL B

I would drop the R if possible. BMBLBEE...BUMBL B Am I missing something here?

How about BZZZZZZZ? Or BUZZZZZ?

Works with the yellow/black and the ZIP of the MINI!

Or...I'm brainstorming now...

BZZZZIP

Are you a 7 or 8 letter state?


Thanks for letting me play!

Great ideas, Thanks.
Chkybgr, I like it -- Cheeky Bugger -- it took me a minute, but liked it when I did get it. I thought at first it was about burgers (I'm a vegetarian).

Bugzapr is good too -- if the VW beetle was a worthy advisery -- that would be great, but I think the MINI is way ahead.

P.S. I also thought of JIMMINI
(Cricket) but it's too cutesy for me and I don't want my name on my plate.

I also thought of LILSTNGR -

NY is an 8 letter State.
7 if one space.
The R in the BRUMBLB = Brumbe like the noise the MINI is supposed to make (and will make again after someone cracks the computer programming) I thought it was a strecth.

I'm leaning towards the Actual size one. I don't mind not being 100% original on my plate if it's the best solution.

In some States you can log onto the DOT site and see what has been used and what is available.
It is amazing how many are already 'out there', for me there was slim pickings!

Oh, and check your picks on the urban dictionary... I initially picked and ordered a plate and then found out it had a very different meaning here!!! It was all too embarrassing...
