I'm seriously considering MI 6 or OO SEVN

But maybe I just leave it alone. Car is showy enough without it.
Mi-6 would be good I think, if you don't like it then get rid of it just as fast. Cost just a few bucks to try it out.

I am mixed on it, for I would like to reference the same type of wording, but pretentious comes to mind and then you get the wanna be jokes which again takes away from the experience I would think. BMT though is great of course. Maybe watch the movies and see if there is a subtle thing you could put on there.

SSquirrel maybe?? or SCT SQRL That is what I was poss thinking, Look it up if you don't know the reference. That might not work for me due to day job though. Get made fun of for sure.

AGENT, or Just plain "Q" would be cool. You definitely wouldn't want to put "Gaydon". People here would think you are a gay Don. Haha

Maybe too subtle? Not many recognize BMT on mine actually, which I like.
Remember, when the DB-5 came back in Skyfall, it had just the one plate, BMT 216A

Like this one the best, People already associate the AM's with 007 Bond. So doing something in that realm will get likely bad attention or made fun of. However NOT A SPY works well. Plays to the heritage with Bond, but keeps things to an interesting level with probable compliments and laughs.

I have ASTON and LAGONDA, but on my vantage I have LND PLNR for when I go to business meetings or council meetings.

A play on the bond theme. I have a lot of good complements on it.

Sorry for late reply. It was the standard Texas price of $289 for 5 years if I remember right. I just waited until they released the 7 number series and jumped on it as soon as they went on sale online. Result! Had it on the Bentley first as that was what I was driving at the time (about 4 years ago).

BMT 214A was also used on the Bond DB5 in Tomorrow Never Dies and Goldeneye. A good alternative.

BMT214A - That's what I have on mine since BMT216A was already taken.

I like it and the comments I have gotten on it are all positive. TBH, most people don't get/know the reference and just consider it to be a standard tag so not "showy" at all in my opinion.

I have to be honest, I'd never take my nice car to a city council meetings. We have a company SUV for those types of things. How do folks react?

I'm the evil developer, of course, so perhaps safer for you.

There are a ton of car enthusiasts in Minnesota suburbs, so it often brings up conversations with commissioners and decision makers. Since I'm the planner it also gives them the impression I must be good at what I do... Which I am. It's never worked against me.

Did no one mention good old 007? I saw a picture somewhere on the vast interwebs of a Vanquish with 007 as the vanity plate. Made me chuckle, but I've got permanent plates so I'm not going to bother with vanity plates on mine.

I submitted 007 for vanity plate in Minnesota but they eventually said no go because number only plates reserved for police
