Bluesyzep Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) Hope this is the right forum. I'm going to get a new license plate tomorrow and am looking for some ideas to personalize it. I have a couple of ideas so far and am limited to seven characters I think: ZOSO- Nice but probably taken. RAINSNG-Original and significant to me personally. Any combination of Led Zeppelin- Not very original and probably taken. BLUESYZEP- Obvious. Ideas?.......

Angel With A Broken Wing Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Don't know if all the state websites have this feature but here in Washington you can search online to see if your choice for a personalized plate is acceptable and/or is available. It's very helpful. The URL would be like "wa.gov/dol" This is what our page looks like: Look up personalized plates Enter the plate you want: Maximum of 7 characters (6 characters for motorcycles), including letters, numbers, dashes, and spaces.No unusual characters (&, !, @ , +, #, etc.)No invalid letter and number combinations. Questions? See Personalized plate requirements.Contact your local vehicle licensing office.Send us an email.Call us at (360) 902-3770, option 5.

jimmie ray Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) I can't believe someone started this - here's 2 locals from my area: 2 days ago you were next to a guy feverishly picking his nose on the Seaford Oyster Bay Expressway. His bumper sticker read" Cavemen are People, too" Your plate read "JIIMMYPAGE". 2 weeks ago you were on Hempstead Turnpike, in a Camaro looking buggy. Your plate read "LEDZEP1". Do I have the pleasure of nice-ity neighbors??? Edited June 20, 2008 by jimmie ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesyzep Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) I found the state site. ZOSO was taken of course. OTHAFA MSTYMTN RAINSNG JMYPAGE......are available. Think I'm down to RAINSNG or JMYPAGE. Unfortunately I don't think I can wait the required 45 days for them to make it.

Hi Bluesyzep~~ I know you're wanting something subtle & recognizable to Zep fans only but I think those song initials are too difficult to make the connection. That's just my opinion. If I were picking a song I'd go with KASHMIR (after all, it's Robert's favorite ) I suggest taking the direct approach & let the world know your allegiance to LZ. You can use spaces and numbers so the old standard abbreviations could work well: LED_ZEP ZEP_FAN ZEP4EVR ZEPRGOD (or LZRGODS) or a variation of the corny ZEPRULZ, ZEPROX, LZ_ROCK, etc. Wish I had a Zep personalized plate since I've been a fan for nearly 40 years. But when the plates here went down to a reasonably-priced $30/yr. about 10 years ago, I was infatuated with Andrea Bocelli so my plates read, simply, BOCELLI.

Any combination of Led Zeppelin- Not very original and probably taken. BLUESYZEP- Obvious. Ideas?....... I don't where you are located, but the State of California's DMV has a lookup function to check to see if the personalized plate you want is available. Maybe it's available in your neck of the woods. There have been a lot of good responses, but I think you answered your own question with RAINSNG. You state it is significant to you, so follow your heart as they say. Either that or maybe pick a significant date in Zeppelin history that appeals to you and use that. Maybe a particular show (EC52575), or something of that nature. My only other contributions would be: BDGHLDR, HVYASHP, HMROFGD, and my personal fave, MUDSHRK. P.S. Sorry if I duplicated anyone's idea - I didn't read all the posts.

The Rover Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) I'm Proud to say that I had Texas "ZOSO" Personalixed plates back in the 70's. 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977. Each year the Color would change. One year the lettering was blue. In 1975, the lettering was Red. That was my favorite. I even gave Jimmy one of the plates - 1973, in 1975, through a package that their Roadie tour Bus Driver delivered through their Road Manager to them.... If ZOSO and LED ZEP are taken, how about just "ZEP". Edited June 20, 2008 by The Rover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesyzep Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Lots of good suggestions. I need more cars. FOURSTX if I was a drummer. RAINSNG because it inspired me to pick up a guitar. JMYPAGE....think you all know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesyzep Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 JMY PAGE it is! Now, the long wait... I think it's something in the middle. People only vaguely familiar with Zeppelin may not know who Jimmy is but is a signal to real Zeppelin/Jimmy fans and wouldn't mind striking up a conversation. Meet back here in 45 days and I'll post a pic. Thanks everybody. Turned into a cool thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
