license plate vanity name

I for the life of me cant think of a cool vanity name for the clubbie. Wanted to see what some of you people can come up with. We can get 7 spots. Some I thought of:
XL MINI
XTD MINI (extended mini)
NTSOMNI (not so mini)

but all of these a lame... any thoughts?

What state are you in?

I've already reserved mine in CA (waiting for it to arrive in Nov)... HT CLBMN (Hot Clubman)...

What message do you want people to read about you and your Clubman?

Hmmmm, I was trying to think of some way to shorten "Clubber Lane." Like the Mr. T character in one of the Rocky movies. Of course, it's now repurposed to mean this is the "Clubman Lane." I'll keep thinking about it.

Have you looked on the other vanity plate threads for ideas? You might find inspiration, or, a plate you like -- as long as you're not in the same state as the one you find!

I saw one on an MCS the other day: SUMMNI - could change it to SUMCLB

I've ordered mine, and DMV has taken my money, but I'm not entirely sure it will meet the 'decency' standard..I even had to fake it's 'meaning' in the description fields. We'll soon see if I was successful. LOL

Evidently, according to Orangecrush in NC, you can appeal the rejcection if you have a good enough story - you'll see it in those other vanity plate threads I was talking about...Evidently he's a VERY persuasive guy!

I ended up with S BUS 01. SHRTBS1 though available didn't fly with MVD. But they did see fit to title my car make as a "MNNI".

CLUBMN1 is available as a AZ plate as is REDCLUB and MOTRNG1. The Golden Rule plate wound up being nice looking for what it's worth.

In Massachusetts we are limited to 6 "spots." If I could use 7, as you say you can, I'd go with this because it's simple: BIGMINI

Sad to say that I saw the Colorado license plate 'MINIS' a couple weeks ago. It was on a minivan. Judging by the bumper stickers, the driver was quite obviously a fan of Dept56 miniatures.

Such a sad sad waste
