[Bmcu] Bought a Mini!

LOL Well along that train of thought I have BOLLOX on my Lotus. Well, it's a family name you know ...
After moving here from London I was so taken with the ability to get almost anything as a plate and in the UK anything meaningful is so expensive. I wanted plates I could move between cars. 
I also have my first name "ADAMANT" and "EXIGE", which curiously enough ended up on my old truck as bollox suited the far better in so many ways :-)

|"4REVR" in my case.  
|
|It answers the following questions FAQs
|
|-What kind of a Triumph is that (a tr-4)
|-Whatya got in that thing (a 4 cylinder revver)
|-How long have you owned it (forever, since 69)
|-How long are you going to own it (forever- have to justify moving it
|11 times)
|-TR-4 was taken and besides it already says that to the right of the
|plate

|Aaron- I just went through the same process, but with bringing a car in
|from out of state.  
|
|So if you are having a new Utah title issued like I had to do, you have
|to register it at the time you apply for the title (total >$100).
|At that time you need get license plates that ARE NOT personalized.
|These can be vintage plates so that you are not subject to semi annual
|inspection. You will leave the DMV with this set of plates in hand. 
|However, only after your new title arrives (2-3 weeks in the mail) can
|you apply for the customized plates. You will need to pay an additional
|$63 for the customized plates which take 4-5 weeks in the mail. (It has
|been 4 weeks today and I'm still waiting for mine).
|
|The vintage application form and search process is online at the DMV
|website. You can actually search by choosing special plate type (in
|this case vintage) and then go through your selections that you are
|looking for to see if they are available. The vintage plates are now
|limited to a total of 5 (no more, no less) alpha numeric characters.
|
|  Good luck.

|It's pretty easy.  I recently did my 70BGT.  You don't need a safety or
|emissions.  As long as its at least 30 years old.  You technically only
|supposed to drive for car shows and club activities.  But how are they
|going to know?  
|  I think I paid $65 with personalized plates.
|
|BTW, this is my first group email since joining the club.  I figured
|I'd just join in on the fun.

|Sorry Brownie, it wasn't me. I went from driveway to driveway. The
|sqealing fan belt and old tires kept me from making too many stops.
|Hopefully I'll be able to replace the fan belt and de-glaze the pulleys
|tonight as well as check out a few things Rob Green recommended. New
|tires should be here Friday, but I won't be able to get them mounted
|till next week. 
|
|Does anyone have any recomendations or advice about getting the antique
|plates? I have not had a change to review the application process yet.

|I bought a '76 Mini last night! Drove it from Logan to North Ogden with
|no problems (I even hit a streach of I-15 at 65 mph). It looks good
|(but not perfect), has a few mechanical items to take care of, but it
|will definately be a driver. Now I can restore my '70 B while I
|drive/maintain/learn about the Mini. Hope to motor with all of you at
|the Antelope Is. run!
|
|  To answer the next few questions:
|  998 cc with Automatic
|  Disc's and shocks up front, drums and cones in the aft
|  12" mini-lite style wheels (plus a set of 12" steelies)
