I have a new one! (I've been on an internetless vacation for the past 2 weeks & I missed the Downs so much [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] ) Anyway, you could get a little pink sportscar that says NAZGIRL. If any of you haven't read the Nazgirls story, you should, because it's hysterical! It's somewhere on the forum, but I don't remember where *apologizes profusely*

I swear I saw a red van/truck (whatever you'd like to call it) with the license plate ROHAN. It drove off before I could take a good look at it, though.

OK. Me being in England, we have REALLY weird licence plates.
The old ones go: Letter-1 to 3 numbers-3 or 4 letters.

The new ones go: 2 letters-2 numbers-3 letters.

England sucks. The best LotR ones we could possibly get would be things like:
M001 ERTH (MDDL=M001)
L390 LAS
E1 VES
E1 VISH
E1 VEN
H08 BIT
H4 LDIR
H41 DIR
S4 URON
M4 NWE
M31 KOR
M3 LKOR
B1 LBO
B499 INS
F3 RNY
R1 NGS
L07 RFRK (LotR Freak)
G341 HIR (Gwaihir)
B47 ROG (Balrog)

And those are just the old ones! Wow! I can get quite a good selection out of these! I didn't realize until I started thinking!
Here are some new ones!
BR30 WNS (Barrow Downs)
MD01 RTH (Middle-earth)
LE90 LAS (Pretty obvious!)
HO88 ITS
BA99 INS
OT79 RNG (O-One, T-Three. 7 and 9 Rings)
ME11 RYN
LF91 RLY (Elf Girly)
SM34 GOL
TH30 DEN
BO90 MIR
FA94 MIR
AR49 ORN
IS17 DUR
MA11 ORN
PA14 NTR (Palantir)
HY91 ENE (Something Aragorn doesn't know about! Only Internet Tolkies would get this)
LU14 IEN
EL35 SAR
ST91 DER (9 is R)
LO79 FRK (LotR Freak)
SH40 WFX (Shadowfax)
BA79 OGS (Balrogs)
HL35 DEP (HLMS DEP) (Helms Deep)
RI29 RTH (Ringwraith)(2 is N)
NA29 IRL (Nazgirl) (2 is Z)
IH89 WEN (I hate Arwen)
MA91 SUE (Nehawahaa! Mari Sue!) (no number for Y)
GA91 STU (Gari Stu!)
(For the above 2: I'd love to see these together in a driveway! I'd laugh so much!)
ON39 ING (One Ring)
RV32 DLL (Rivendell)
RN75 GLN (Eryn Lasgalen)

There are so many more, but I don't have time to think them up and put them here, so buh bye!
Namárie!

I've posted this before, but I once saw a Canadian Liscence plate ONE-973
The numbers of course refer to the rings of power. I thought that was pretty cool.

I'd say mine would be one of these:

*Aragorn

*Estel

*Boromir

Or I might have the front plate & back plate personalized & have them say:

(front) Smeagol

(back) Gollum

Who knows? It'll be a while... [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

I saw (yet another) license plate that said ERU on it. This makes a total of about five.

I want to get a jet-black Hummer (not the jeep, the big blocky 5-seater) and put "NAZGUL5" on the license plates, just because of the Cassie Claire diary.

In Virgina, I did see a Bilbo plate.
I'd definitley first go with my name..Hobtlas.
I love the Smeagol/Gollum idea, very clever.

I'd have to choose from:

379-ONE (on a black car)
SMEAGOL (on a dark grey or green car)
RVNDELL (on a green or royal blue car)
FARAMIR (on a silver car)
MNSTRTH (on a white car)
GRNLEAF (on a green car)
ARAGORN (on a gold car)
ANDURIL (on a silver car w/blue flames)
GANDALF (on a grey car)
WHTFOAM (on a white car; happens to be the meaning of my screen name)

Here's a special one for Meela:

Liscense Plates! Cool! I love those, but I can't say I've seen any LotR ones. Mine would probably either be FIREFOT or FRODOLVS or something shortened for Frodo lives. Noro lim, that would be cool. Gollum/Smeagol is a good idea too.

Wow this is an old thread. The seventh post I made on the 'Downs is here. It doesn't seem that long ago...

Anyway, enough reminiscing. I went to a sort of last-day-in-an-apartment-with-a-really-great-view party yesterday evening given by a friend from church. When we got there, lo and behold, parked right behind our car on the street was a light blue BMW with the license plate GLDRIEL! I borrowed a digital camera from the hostess and took a picture of the liscence plate, but I don't have it to postat the moment, as the friend whose camera it was is now busy moving, and after that is going to World Youth Day in Germany, so she won't have time to send it to me for a while.

I can't help but make the pun: "CAR-WEN", be it actually C4R-WEN, CAR-W3N, or and unfortunate mix of the two.

I wouldn't mind "ILUVTR" either, really.

bumper sticker

It may not be a plate, but I saw a bumper sticker just today at Barnes and Nobles which read "Fordo Failed! Bush has the Ring."

I know it's political (and that isn't very well welcomed here in the 'downs), but you can kind of apply that phrase in several ways. None-the-less it gave me a good laugh.

Wow, that's a funny picture. (And that coming from a Bush supporter(me) no less!)

Now, here's something that I was really excited about. I just got my new license plate a couple days ago. And it is: WLF 936!

I was like 'SWEET'! My tag says Wolf! That is just too cool!

Yet, if I could have a custom tag I'd probably put:

BLKSWRD
PIPPIN
THEONE
ISTARI
MT DOOM
