[Bmcu] Bought a Mini!

[marcus at utahgeology.org]

For what it is worth, reading all the relevant code I came to the same

not a lawyer, cop, or DMV minion...

Also here is a picture of the newly improved vintage plate. Notice how 
they've replaced the image of the funny looking motor-less carriage with 
a proper LBC.  ;)
