I know it's not a mini, but could'nt resist posting. This vehicle was at my work parking lot. If you can't read the plates, it says "UR NEXT".

Remember this? My dad just registered a 1965 Mustang - while not puke green, they have gone back to the yellow with dark blue lettering...

Don't usually quote my own posts, but ... I went with S-CURVES.

Drove my new 2010 blacked out Cooper S of the lot on Friday and just ordered a plate "EVIL MNI". Stinks it takes so long to get plates in California.

Well, mine did say THEWRKS until today. Dept. of Licensing won't transfer a vanity plate. The owner has to release it and the plate goes back in the "available" bin.

Now I need to decide if I want it back badly enough to jump through the hoops or just go with something else.

Decisions, decisions...

I have "NO E30" being processed right now, I ordered it before I got the car and now I'm not as sure about it.

I told you that NO E30 plate will work great on your MINI.

I saw a great plate this weekend. A very, very tall man came on our run this weekend - 6' 10" - 7', easily. The plate on his MC...

I ordered mine about a month ago. It takes anywhere from 30 to 60 days to receive them here in FL. My idea isn't original but I liked it so much I ordered it anyway. The plate is a Florida Panther plate and my tag will say
ITS MEAN and the frame says It's not cute! At the top. Hopefully I'll get it soon and post the picture here.

Ha! I have the same tag here in South Carolina! 33 EJB!

(I guess that great minds really do think alike! )

People are always asking me what does 33 EJB means and I just tell them to Google it.

I'm getting the matching front EU plate (with the England flag sticker) soon.

Wisconsin with a matching fake EU plate up front.
