Offline | Harvey.... Because at this point my Mini is not much more then a figment of my imagination... :-( I do need to come up with a suitable name of female persuasion soon enough. There's plenty of road out there. Have an analog moment and drive your MINI. |

| on a three hour tour | That's 'enry, guv Good name. Reminds me of a friend of mine from London who called her car (in California) "Earl" because the letters on the plate were URL. She thought it was funny because Earl is such an American name, and I thought it was funny because it's an English title. Do you pronounce the 'H'? Seems like you'd have a couple of reasons not to. Reminds me of a time in when, after telling a London cabbie I was going to Hackney, he corrected me: "That's 'ackney, guv." ![]() |

Offline | My Mini-to-Be is named Mr. Q, no relation to my user name! Why? I ordered him on Valentine's Day, so "Cupid" came to mind. But that's a silly name for a car, right? So I shortened it to Q. That didn't sound formal enough for my Mini, so I added Mr. It gets the "awww" factor of a cute name without sounded so sweet it gives you a toothache. At the time I also felt "Mr. Q" sounded like something out of 007. Later I learned that Q was the gadget man in James Bond movies. (I had no clue) I don't drive too fast ... you just look too slow! We're not lost ... this is the scenic route ![]() Mr. Q's blog |

Offline | My MCS, sitting shivering in Southampton, will be christened "DB Cooper". He'll be brave, adventurous, a bit mysterious, and the stuff of legends. Okay, so maybe that's a bit of exaggeration. But he has already begun to live up to his name by causing a LOT of cash to be tossed to the four winds! Theresa ========= Don't anthropomorphize your Mini. They hate that. |

Offline | Hans Weiss My new pepper white on pepper white MC is "en route" from South Carolina to San Antonio as I write. I hate to name it before it is presented to me but, and I suspect many of you understand, I just can't contain myself. I think I am going to name it after a cat I once met in France. It was 1989 and a buddy of mine and I were boozing it up on a pic-nic in Cannes with some German girls when we saw a white cat. I suggested we call it Jacques Blanc, which I think/thought is/was French for "Jack White". Then it started rolling: Giacomo Bianco, Juaqium Blanco, Hans Weiss. Before we knew it, a Dutch couple sitting on a bench about 20 feet from ours told us what Jack White in Dutch is. (Sadly, I can't remember...must have been the wine!) Anyway, I think the new car is going to be named "Jack White", after the eponymous cat. And I hope to collect international iterations from here forward...

Offline | My new Pepper White MINI One (due to be delivered in May) is going to be called Elizabeth Taylor. Just like Charlotte in Sex and the City, Elizabeth will be the child I'll never have of my own. By the way, so sad to see Sex and the City end Richard. |

Offline | This goes back to the name Changing question... When I got the car, I also got the GPS, so I decided to call the lady that talks to me Gypsy...since then, the car has gone through a couple of surgeries and what not, and she's been transformed into Meani...(it's on the plate ) People have reffered to her as both...just depends how you know her ![]() L |
