If it had LM and 500 or 600 then it would be a big marcos,no roundabout in Longford would be safe and that guy with 1275 on the plate of his mini is only an urban legend. :roll: .
Real Clubmans have a square nose.Seriously.

You might all hate me after this as i know BMW aren't recieved well by original Mini fans :):) but i got my M3 registered last year, had to pay an extra €315 to get it, but it reads '96-WX-3'

I see the price of putting by a number now has gone up to €1000 in the last budget! Crazy stuff!

MX 5's on Mini forums.... well I never...before you post that the thread said cool number plates, only joking.

My Mini Seven has a very cool reg 01 MN 1 - can't take any credit for it unfortunately as it was on the car when I got it. The fact that it has a single digit number gets a lot of attention and then as people study it the're rearranging the letters to make O m1n1.
