I'm keeping the plate from my classic MINI Cooper - 419 CWX. DOesn't mean anything, but I bought it to go on the 60's-looking Mini (it looks great in silver letters on black), and cannot summon the energy to try to memorise a new number for the new car

Ordered my "S" August '01. Arrived July '02. EB with white roof, wheels and stripes, Chili pack, DSC and climate control. Hate those 17" runflats though.
Can now be seen all over the West Midlands, as a blue blur passing everything at speed
