Custom License plate Ideas Contest!!!

Well I want custom plates on my mini s. I figured who better to ask than Mini-a-holics here on NAM.

Here is the criteria.

The plate must refer to things that are near and dear to me. My mini, my love for Basset hounds, and that I grew up in NY. Now the plate could be all mini related or all Basset hound related (preferably not all NY related). Or a combination of the above.

I only have room for 7 charachters so be creative.

The Winner will get a a couple of beers (or Wine) at the Dragon.
:impatient ***Must show proof of age ****:impatient

Contest starts today and goes through next tuesday 01/09/06 when I go to register the car and get rid of the temp tags I have now.



The front runners Are:

FAST BAS: Gromit801
BASSET S: DixonL2
2DROOL4 : Lexster05
HOUNDOG: bamatt

INIW...

That will spell MINI when you are upside down, or alternatively you could mount the plate upside down so it says MINI.

It would help to know how many letters you get on your tag. In Alabama we get 5-7 depending on what tag we choose.

here's all I got:
HOUNDOG
POOPER
NOBULL (since the Mini ad dog is a Bulldog, dunno )
HOTDOG

sorry to get OT but is there a website for the personalized texas plates like that? i have a few idea and on the application for they only give you 3 choices.

EDIT: NM just as easy as to call the plate office and ask them for avaliability of certain plates
