Cool Who's got the Coolest Mini Registration mark?

I think that my registration mark CO03OOL looks great on my MCS JCW.

I was wondering who has the coolest reg in the UK?

The laws in some other countries such as the US make getting a cool license plate much easier than in the UK, but I am interested in who has made the best within the UK system.

Regs I have seen or heard about:

Heard someone in my area has CO03PER on a MCS.
Ginge has WK51FUN on a JCW MC
Cool New have CO02NEW


(for those unfamiliar with the UK system we have mainly the following two 'styles' of registeration:
A123ABC- where the first letter is the 'year' of the reg, then 3 no's, followed by 3 letters
AB04ABC- where the two numbers consist of either '0' or '5' plus the 'year' of the plate and the letters can be specified.
We also have various rules such as no letter I, etc.)

Do you know any better ones?

I love my number plate, but I think the best one I've ever seen.. and it was on a 911, not a Mini was L8 4 A D8 - which after some thought spelt Late for a Date. Don't know how they got around the regulations.

There is a 911 round here with POR5H on it. Looks to me like L8 4A D8 may have been a modified L84 ADB.... how long ago did you last see it?... they are really tight on mods to font/layout these days. In fact, the past few plates I have had made up are laser printed onto the backing sheet and not, as in the old days, separate letters stuck on. This means that the DVLA can force the plate maker to use their s/w to guarantee the layout/style.

theres a Viper somewhere in the States but all over the internet, with a plate that says "Enzo Who" Talk about Brass Balls, and not many cars in the world could pull that off....

As for me I want IH8NTRDM, only problem is there are tooooooo many Irish Catholic cops in my Area and I would get pulled over every day. So I'll probably get 9311.

I've made use of the fact that, with the new system, the letter O's printed with the same character as zeros. So I've got OO03 then my initials. But cos they're all the same it looks like 0003... And is very effective.

I've seen locally a skoda superb with S6ODA, a Nissan saloon with N15SAN and a few other smart ones.

I figure somebody in the states has MCS JCW - would be a legal plate in all 50 states I believe. But sure wonder why they aren't on this site.
