Hi all,

New user so forgive the lack of graphics etc.

I'm awaiting delivery of new MCS (hopefully in 2 weeks time!) and have been looking at private plates. I dont want my initials but spotted 2 possibilities in my price range (car cost enough!!).

**MCS or **MNY

What do you reckon? Any comments appreciated as long as they are nice!!

Thanks guys

Dawn

Welcome to MINI2.

MCS seems much cooler then MNY, since MNY's spelled wrong, and MCS isn't. I suspect MNI is out of your price range.

I reckon that all the while that you may just be tempted to drive in a slightly spirited fashion, you should hide behind a set of very anonymous plates.

And besides, MCS only means something to MINI2ers, to the outside world, who knows?

Get some extra toys to play with.

Well if you can get the dealer to hang onto your car for a few weeks and get it registered on 1st Sept (53) I have just seen MY53 MCS on dvla site for £799

If you're getting a Cooper S go for MCS.

I've got a Cooper and have MNY (yes I know it's spelt wrong

, but it was the nearest thing I could get to MINI for the money and besides I like it

)

It's amazing how many people don't get it and ask me what my plate means

, but then others think it's really good.

miniblue · Jul 22nd, 2003, 01:20 PM

how abt MC53MCS (reads MCS 3 MCS) if you're waiting till Sept. Else anything w/ MCS is good.

I got OOO2OOO from DVLA so I can keep it for later ... if i ever sell my MC.

Thanks for that folks.

Bought new plate this morning and decided to go for MNY. Couldnt quite afford M1 NYS as it was £8,000!!

My sources tell me alot of Minis have MNY and that MCS is popular with Mercs. Nevertheless, I may not have the coolest plate, but I have the coolest Car!!!! (or I will have when it arrives).

sexys · Jul 22nd, 2003, 11:28 PM

Me again

No offence to all of you with MCS - it was a hard decision to make!!

Razor · Jul 22nd, 2003, 11:31 PM

So you've gone for MNY - what reg did you pick? Mine is A2MNY (couldn't get A1 it had already gone!

)

You aren't allowed the letter 'I' on a number plate as it's too similar to '1'.

With regard to the suggestions, I'd go with the 'MCS' one. A personal plate finishes the car off nicely IMHO.

The US system of vanity plates is totally different. I think its like $5 for one in Maine actually, everyone and their brother has one there, that's the cheapest I've found.

Anyway, the I/1 debate I hadn;t even thought of. I know several states don't use Q because its too close to O. Thanks for the info. I guess MNY is a better idea then. Avoid those Merc's.
