I like the look of the Europlate on the MINI and since Kansas does not require a front plate I’ll be adding this to my GP as soon as I get home. My current MINI has a Europlate (see previous entry) and I really like the look.
On the GP front, the car is built and awaiting transport in Bremerhaven, Germany. Bremerhaven is the second largest auto ship-in and out port in Europe after Rotterdam. In the next two weeks the first handful of GPs will land on US shores and head to Monterey. All I have left to do is finish the paperwork at the dealer and get the insurance policy rolling. Then it’s a matter of waiting until August 18th…
If you’re interested and if you haven’t seen it already, here’s a clip from a German TV review of the GP. I don’t understand German but the sound of the MINI has no language. disclaimer>>Warning, it is a large file - 16MB and takes a few minutes to load.

Posted by: LTZMTOR on July 21, 2006 04:48 PMIn Gauteng (the province I live in in South Africa) the plate convention is 3 letters, three numbers, then the crest, followed by GP (for Gauteng Province). Custom plates are allowed - up to 7 characters, but always followed by GP.
I was going to get a custom plate for my GP - JCW 1234 GP - obviously replacing 1234 with the actual roof number.
I always wondered how Todd had that Euro plate on his car…

Port Hueneme perhaps? East coast?
