As long as you realize: you'll have to come back to this thread to let us know what you chose!! Good luck.

BUT, the M1NI is a VIP! So, who's the grand 'decider' anyway? We all on NAM believe our MINI's are VIP's

yep UH OH, i definitely will post once it's approved!

Goldilocks - gotta agree with you there - i don't know how these plates get decided upon in Trenton - usually i think they reserve the first 10 numbers for government officials - but i didn't think they would object to the embedded 1 in "M1NI"

oh well, i like my new choice better anyway...

What a nice way to say "at the risk of someone ripping off my choice."

lol Michael - actually i have the plate reserved so no one can get it (if they log to the DMV that choice won't be available) - however i still need approval from the DMV.

I'm superstitious, not cynical...

Heh heh heh....Well, since I only saw those on the CLASSIC channels as a kid, I will acquiesce to those who knew it/saw it first hand.... Heh heh heh... At least I know what you're referring to, which is more than I can say for a disgustingly large number of folks.

Still drinking my morning cup of coffee, and I can't think of anything that hasn't already been suggested. Now this is starting to bug me!
