Talking New car, choose a number plate

I'm just about to buy my first new car in over 20 years, and I'm trying to decide which 3 letters to use - I already know what I want for the first bit .

So far I have thought of WRC, SRT, OMG, SOS and of course XRS. Unfortunately, with my combination of first letters and numbers WRX has already gone.

Any ideas out there?

Cheers for the input guys. It is really only the final three letters I'm looking at, the first bit is already decided, so I'm not trying to spell anything, and of course it can't include numbers.

Leaning towards WRC though....

You should get a bit of a choice from the range that the dealer has available, otherwise you can choose one from the DVLA list.

I'm not buying an 05 registration, but I will use what it comes with for a while (to enjoy the new car feel) before I change to the permanent plate.
