Seen any good personalized "vanity" plates?

[Eepers]

Started giving this some thought after seeing "Blimey's" plate, which is awesome. I liked the British angle on the plates and thought about "BLOODY'L" or "OY GUV!" or the like.

But with my video gaming bent I think I'm sold on "KOOPA". Koopas are the little turtle guys you jump on in Mario.

Before that I was thinking "MEANI", but I already have street monkeys pulling up to me randomly wanted to race my Z4, and I'd rather not encourage that with something proclaiming how "awesome I think I am", haha. I want to drive a fun car, not mix it up with 18 year old judgement impaired morons.

Oh, come now. It's fun baiting 18 year old judgment impaired morons. Especially near known speed traps. Or make friends with a local Cary police officer with LIDAR... :)

Hard to go wrong with any of your plate ideas... search on NAM, there's a huge vanity plate thread or two. Both for ideas, and to see how many other folks in other states have the same plate, if you're trying to be REALLY unique...

This is a critical juncture - you are about to set the theme / motif of your car. While you can change course later... once Blimey was Blimey, I was committed to a particular styling theme, forum persona, wardrobe, and even tuning objectives, etc. It's serious stuff. If I had called him something else I would have been on a different path entirely, I think...

I like your Bloody L idea. I say that all the time. :D I had thought about Koopa but figured I needed a British Racing Green car to go with it.

onefastmini has a great idea for his but you can't have it. :p I'll let him tell you if he wants to. :D

NOPE!! can't have it. I think I'll get it now, of course iit will be old and out of date by the time I get a MINI, and for those who know what it is, it might be diminishing to my manhood on anything but a MINI;)

But really, Blimey's right, it sets the tone and personality that you want your MINI to have.

Yeah - though I guess Blimey could wear the "ONE BALL" plate now... :p

[Eepers]

Wow, yeah, "one ball"... I wouldn't worry about me stealing that one, hahahaha.

I assume your MINI has graphic of a pool ball with a "1" on it? I hope. If not, just lie to me here :)

Guess I can't laugh too hard, I thought it'd be pretty funny to put WANKER on a plate :)

I just ordered "NOT4HIRE" - tired of people telling me my poor car looks like a taxi! :D :D

[Eepers]

Yellow with black stripes I presume?

[mrry550]

Actually, pepper white w/ the checkmate & checker board top (I just made up a sig). I actually had some tourist in gatlinburg come up to me this weekend and tell me that my mini would make a great taxi. And I'm thinking to myself... uh, where would I put the luggage AND the passengers? Time to get a roof rack? :D :D

ROFL:D :D :D :D That is just funny. It could be worse they always seem to ask me if my Mini is a PT Cruiser #$%&
I just do not get that one at all.

[HPUdrew]

Mine is in my avatar. "DOWNS1ZE" because someone beat me to it with the I instead of 1. A few others I had considered, though I don't know if they are available anymore... Heel&Toe, BLISS (my cars name), No-SUVS, etc etc

Have fun on the site, I've spent a lot of time there figuring out the perfect plate idea.

I really wanted to put "DOGSBOLX" on mine. Not sure if it's available. When our friend from England was here, he helped us remodel our old house. The kitchen came out looking really awesome. He said "that is the dog's bollocks." It was then that I learned that if it is the DOG'S bollocks, it is good! But my husband nixed that, so I settled for HRH MINI. :-)

You can get some amusing looking plates thinking of words upside down, such as:

INIW or !N!W

Looks really amusing on a plate, or at least it does on the website, both of those are available BTW.

From Wikipedia

"Bollocks" is a word of Anglo Saxon origin, meaning testicles in British English and in Hiberno-English. The word is often used figuratively, most commonly as a noun to mean "nonsense" or as an expletive following a minor accident or misfortune, but also in a number of other ways: as an adjective to mean "poor quality" or "useless", as a noun to mean "top quality" or "perfection" (e.g., "That bike is the dog's bollocks!"), and in various compound expressions (see below). Owing to its versatility, bollocks has been called the Swiss Army knife of andrological profanities, in that it is the most versatile word in the English language.[citation needed]

Perhaps the best-known international use of the term in this sense is in the title of a Sex Pistols album. Testimony in a resulting lawsuit over the "obscene" term demonstrated that in Old English the word referred to a priest, and could also be used to mean "nonsense" (see Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols for details). Or, indeed, the phrase in common usage "Bollocks to that!" expressing a distaste for a certain task or subject. Alternative usage can be to show the opposite feeling, expressing admiration or pleasure, as in "That's the dog's bollocks!"
