I was just in the "You know you are obsessed with LotR" thread when this idea popped into my mind. If you were to put an LotR related message on the liscense plate of your car, what would it say. I don't have any ideas right now, but I'll think of some and post later.

Hmmm, I would put something Hobbit-related, like "SHIRE" or "HOBBIT" or maybe something like "BILBO". Hehehe. smilies/biggrin.gif

07-30-2003, 10:58 AM
I would have: T0LK13N1T3
Also, I would have a novelty horn that says: Noro lim! Noro lim!

Mine is going to be FRODO, or something to that effect. Or maybe R1NG3R.

I've had mine planned out for a long time (even though it will be a long time before I can drive). Unfortunately, WI license plates only let you have 7 characters, so my choices are kind of limited. Anyway, mine would be MDLERTH.

Meela
07-30-2003, 01:58 PM
DENETHOR. Or I might have STEWARD or something. Or perhaps FARAMIR. Or ELESSAR. Or ME26 RST. ME for Middle Earth, 26 = number of Ruling Stewards, and RST standing for Ruling Stewards.

I like MDLERTH. It's great. Mine would have to say something like ENTRME, enter ME. The only problem would be that only Tolkien fans would get it.

I would probably put "MEorBust!" ME=Middle-Earth, just to point that out.

I would love to get one on my car, but I would bet that because of the release of the films many of the Middle Earth related 7 lettered names, places, etc. are gone. I did once really see a man on a motorcycle who had the license plate of "LOTR", which I thought either ment "Lord of the Rings" or "Lord of the Rigs". I would love to have a small green Mini with the license plate of "FRODO", "HOBBIT", or "PIPPIN"

07-30-2003, 10:24 PM
Here are a couple:

FR0D0LVS (Frodo Lives)
GREYFOOL
LOTRFRK (LotR Freak)

Ooh! Maybe I'll get a big black car and have my license plate as NAZGUL.

Id have VALAR, thats all i can think of right now, but id think it would be cool. Its strange because here in Australia the limit for numbers on a number plate is about seven letters/numbers, but thats becuase we only have a pop. of 19 million. smilies/wink.gif

*nevquesseiel*
07-31-2003, 07:34 AM
Hey fellow Aussie!! lol yes I'd say we Australians might have slightly more choice due to our low population. . . I would have NOROLIM or NOLDOR or NENYA or something. . . hey look at that they all start with N. . .

Hmmm, maybe I'll get a greenish car and have the liscense plate be FANG0RN. Niftalicious!

07-31-2003, 08:11 AM
I may have something like ELFGIRL or ELFGRL1, 1MELLON and 2MELLYN, or ELROND0.

Sapphire_Flame
08-01-2003, 11:06 AM
I have this all planned out: I'm going to get a black PT Cruiser, with flames on the sides, and the license plate will read NAZGUL1. Or maybe MORGUL1. smilies/evil.gif

Wouldn't that be the point?

Ohh Yeah. Good point. smilies/biggrin.gif

I figured out another one. LVNRCR=elven archer. I couldn't fit the H in there.
It takes a minute ta figure out, but isn't that the point?

Daisy Brambleburr
08-01-2003, 12:51 PM
There's a car near me that has a numberplate with 'ENT' at the end. I'm not sure if it was deliberate or not though...
As for me, maybe a simple '111' would do the trick. Or is that too cryptic? Okay then, '111ORBST'- one hundered and eleven or bust'. That's my ambition, to live to be a hundred and 11. Not very likely, but fun to tell people.

Orominuialwen
08-01-2003, 01:16 PM
I've seen about three different licence plates that weren't customized that said ERU. I guess He really is everywhere!

Tinuviel of Denton
08-01-2003, 03:56 PM
I've seen license plates that say YRH. They all make me think of 'yrch.' Heh.

Mine would say LUTHIEN, or maybe DDRNGER. D.ead Ringer. You know, because some people call LotR obsessed fans 'Ringers' and those of us on the Downs are 'dead.' (that idea originally came from the thread What are we? and I liked it.)

AGTLROND if you wanted to push the aussie limits, i have seen some cars with 8, but it costs about $2,000 to get one... Anyway, that was Agent Elrond.

If I could cut SHIELDMAIDEN down to seven letters, then I'd love to do that, since I love Eowyn, but I don't think it would look right to me however it's done. Oh well, I'll have to think of something else.

08-05-2003, 04:48 AM
In Finland our register plates(or whatever...) consists of 3 letters and 1 to 3 numbers. That sets certain limits.Maybe something like
ENT-5(ents)
OSS-3(ossë)
TAR-1(tári=queen in Quenya)
AIW-3(aiwë=bird in Q.)
BIL-80(bilbo)
GAM-633(gamgee)
oh well, I doubd I never get one of these 'cause they're quite expensive.

ELF-151(elf is 1. but maybe it's too obvious)
SHE-108(shelob)
UNG-01(ungol)
oh, too many options despite I'm allowed to use only 3 letters...

Orominuialwen
08-07-2003, 08:08 AM
i thought of some new ones! LVNMAID (elven maid), BRWDWNS (barrow-downs), and EOWYN, or EOMER. Or you could get a silver-grey car and have the plates say SHDWFAX (shadowfax)! This thread is really cool!

Finwe
08-07-2003, 08:47 AM
I would get either:


FINWE-01
NAZGUL
DRKLORD or (DRKLADY)

Tinuviel of Denton
08-07-2003, 09:31 AM
Or you could get a silver-grey car and have the plates say SHDWFAX (shadowfax)

On that note, how about a white car and ASFLOTH or ASFLTH (Asfaloth)?

08-07-2003, 12:31 PM
Or a dark grey car and HASUFEL smilies/smile.gif

ElenCala Isil
08-07-2003, 02:11 PM
hmm, liscense plates... fun fun! How about:
L0TRFAN or perhaps I'd have ELV1SH or H0BB1T.. yes that's it.. I'd have two cars, park them side by side so it would read ELV1SH H0BB1T! bwahahahaha it'd be interesting if every actor in LoTR had a liscence plate with their character name on it.. just a random thought

Duncariel
08-07-2003, 02:16 PM
Or a red car that says~ are you ready for this?~ SRNSI

Go ahead, figure that one out.

Tinuviel of Denton
08-07-2003, 02:31 PM
Sauron's Eye, of course. That's easy.

What about one that says HARAD? I know, I know, they weren't popular, but I've become partial to them since Dark Seduction.

arianrod
08-07-2003, 04:52 PM
I've heard of one car that had a licence plate of MEORBST (Middle Earth or Bust) and had a "Hobbit on board" sticker in the back window. I want one of those!

I'd probably get STYBBA. Or maybe GAMG33 or LBERETH (first 'e' wouldn't fit).

Brinniel
08-15-2003, 11:53 PM
I'd probably use something simple, like my BD nickname. Though, I also like Elf in Training (but abbreviated, of course).

*sigh* It'll be a long time before I can get a custom-made license plate. Not for another seven years, at least.

Yavanna228
08-16-2003, 08:54 AM
Possibly something to the effect of 'YAVANNA' or 'YVNA228'. smilies/wink.gif I'm quite partial to my name here.

08-24-2003, 09:12 PM
I think I would either have LOTR70X70 which means LOTR forever. Or GANDALF or ONERING or NINE or THEEYE or ORTRTA (one ring to rule them all) and I probably got more but I'm sleepy so I'll do more later.

I have a new one! (I've been on an internetless vacation for the past 2 weeks & I missed the Downs so much smilies/frown.gif ) 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*

Brinniel

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.

Elróthiel
09-07-2003, 09:24 AM
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!

The numbers of course refer to the rings of power. I thought that was pretty cool.

The Only Real Estel
09-10-2003, 06:51 PM
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... smilies/cool.gif

P.S. I could go for cptsprw smilies/biggrin.gif

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.

09-24-2003, 11:11 AM

I'd definitley first go with my name..Hobtlas.
I love the Smeagol/Gollum idea, very clever.

01-08-2004, 06:10 PM
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)

01-18-2004, 07:23 PM
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.

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.

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:
