What are your MINI specs? Color, etc. That might help people think of something unique. Might be good to know what you're into -- work, play, etc.

Of course you're right! Picture from MINIUSA site attached. MCS with premium and sports package and LSD (like to go fast!).

Live in Vegas, retired Air Force flyer (did I say I like to go fast?).

Aero engineer, astronaut wannabe (missed it by thaaaat much)

College: Kansas (Rock Chalk Jayhawks!)

Computer nut. Married with two boys. I was Tolkien before Tolkien was cool...(thought the sword name would be cool...Anduril ("flame of the west") but figured that was too obscure...and not MINI enough)

I was leaning toward "SINMINI" (Vegas?) but wife hates Vegas, not sure I want to flaunt it).

Limit is 7 characters. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

STAYSIN as in "what happens in vegas stays in vegas"
PKR CPR = poker cooper
LV CUPR = Las Vegas Cooper
RLFLASH as in royal flush
SIN MINI as in Sin City
MINIBAR - homage to the hotels
VIVAMNI - as in Viva Las Vegas

Vegas should have lots of possibilities. Have fun! Just got my first mini today. Only regret is the break-in period.

Vanity plate

How about HAULNUS [ a take off of haulin ***] I had HAULNAS in Indiana for seven years when some one at the BMV didn't like my choice of words and wouldn't approve it for use. Bummer!!!

I like this idea...

The DMV here in Ohio originally let me have BLDYHEL. Then they denied it at final approval.

I am not a big fan of tagging what I do.

My suggestion, I do not know what you flew in the Airforce but if it was MAC how about....

"HEAVY"

On a Mini that would be funny.....IMHO.

If you go to https://dmvapp.state.nv.us/PlateAV/PlateAV_Input.aspx you can see if your desired plate is available, and what it will look like.
You should also wander over to www.sincityminiclub.com and maybe come for a drive with us soon.

Glad Nevada finally added the plate searcher...makes life easier.

Plan on joining SCMC shortly and registering for AMVIV.
