Vanity Plates

I would like to put vanity plates on this June and I am looking for some suggestions on what I could put on them. It can only be 7 characters long.

Can anyone help me out.


Thanks

Your MINI have a name, or nick name? Could be something you say every time you motor or your screen name if you go to alot of meets or club events.

Our Plate is S THINGY
The wife wants MINI4ME when she gets hers.

Vanity plate = car make/model = car nickname

Check out my gallery of a photo of my vanity plate.

I like to have fun with my plates.

My e36 M3 was 332 IS as the e30 M3 owners claim they had the real M3 and the e36 was nothing but a re-badged 332is. So I poked fun at myself.

My wife's M3 (e30) was MPHATIC

Her Volvo V70R was TRAKBRIK as Volvos are nicknamed bricks and hers was her first track car.

My MCS is named after my Roundel column BMRLITE. Again, I get to make fun of the car's parent company.

I am thinking about get TOASTER for our Honda Pilot because that vehicle is nothing but a household appliance!

I hope that helps.

Vince

I'm trying to choose too. I came up w/ 1LAP2GO, MRBLMKR (since it loves to corner), LV2DRV, S PHALT (asphalt), LDNCLNG (London calling), . . . .I'm sure somebody else may already have these. . . I've been spending sleepless nights trying to come up with something original. . .

No the car was turned into a BMW Club Racer (J Stock) and the pates are hanging on my garage! I think there were a few BMW M cars around those plates.
