"Pip Pip"

I love it!! It's simple and (no, I won't say cute) lolol

I reallyl do like it!

My plates say "Bean" Not for Mr Bean though (never even seen any of his movies) it's Bean for my very favorite drink Java Monster's Mean Bean. Yum!

I hope that you keep Pip Pip!!

I have to say I didn't know what it meant but now that I do, I like it!

Mine have been my screen name for roughly 10 years now. I just can't give them up!

Excellent website, but obviously an abridged version, or maybe just an oversight. It failed to mention a common term of endearment used by the Yanks during WWI/II when referring a Brit comrade-in-arms: "Limey".

I don't think a personalized plate necessarly has be the name for your mini. My
minis name is OAF. The plate sez 100 HRS. When people ask me what it
means I simply reply.....It took me hundreds of hours to convince my wife
I really needed this crazy little car.

I'm getting ready to order my vanity plates probably tomorrow morning. It's not gonna be the name of my car - but somethin else pretty cool! =) Cant reveal it yet in case someone tries to steal it! Although, i cant imagine any of us awesome MINI owners trying to do something like that. :-P

We went to AMVIV last weekend, over 500 Minis there. We saw more vanity plates in those 3 days than I've ever seen in my life! It seemed like half the cars had one (probably not, but it seemed like it).

Yep, that's true! I haven't named my baby yet. I can't settle on anything. It will come to me soon, I'm sure. :D
