I lifted "Little

" to name my new '04 MC BRG/WT.

(Trivia Quiz: Anybody know the famous person who named his car "Little

"? Who was that person and what was the car?)

bradman · Mar 25th, 2004, 05:31 PM

You've got to be kidding me.....

OK, lets try again.

I lifted "Little B*****D" to name my new '04 MC BRG/WT.

(Trivia Quiz: Anybody know the famopus person who named his car "Little B*****D"? Name that person and the car.)

littlemoon · Mar 25th, 2004, 05:32 PM

Basil Fawlty - "Fawlty Towers"
Austin something?
The scene where he hits his car with the branch!

BENJ · Mar 25th, 2004, 05:34 PM

Mine is called Benjy (Not a very original reason for this name but his number plate is BNJ!!)

bradman · Mar 25th, 2004, 06:11 PM

Hmmm, I'll have to dig up that episode of "Fawlty Towers", Littlemoon. But, actually, I was thinking of someone else. (Hint: He had "Little B*****D painted on the back of his car.)

littlemoon · Mar 25th, 2004, 06:54 PM

Sorry Bradman, even after living in Colorado for the last 2 years, I still don't know who it is! I take it, it's an America??? Very impressed you know who Basil is mind!

puck · Mar 25th, 2004, 06:56 PM

My car will be puck of course... the wee little imp.

I have NO idea...that's just what the guy at "Ask MINI" told me. I suppose they don't want to be too specific, otherwise we might bribe spy satellite operators to take a few shots for us! I wouldn't put anything past this crowd!
But please do give me a local weather report!
Thanks!

bradman · Mar 25th, 2004, 08:20 PM

OK, littlemoon, another hint for you and all the others.

Yes, he was an American.

(Actually, that was two hints.)

C'mon, I know that some fan of both movies and auto racing will know this!

gracielou · Mar 25th, 2004, 09:14 PM

Gracielou Freebush after the movie Miss Congeniality. She is a girl and she always makes people smile and is well congenial.

1notenough · Mar 25th, 2004, 09:38 PM

Our 04' MCS, DSW, CWP,SP, HK, LBL, Her name is "NOEL" due to that wonderful sound she makes when she starts to "sing" from the supercharger.

VYVYAN off of the young ones?

bradman · Mar 25th, 2004, 11:28 PM

Geez, Mighty Imp, give a Yank a break, would ya? I had to google "VYVYAN" to find out what in the world you were talking about...lol!

Nope, not Vyvyan!

(Another hint: Think 1950s Hollywood...)

tavis1 · Mar 26th, 2004, 07:13 AM

You have to be a part of the MTv crowd of the 80's to know Vyvyan. The show was called the Young Ones. Other charectors was Rick (also was in drop dead fred), Neil and Mike. I didn't like the fat guy they brought on latter. He wasn't funny and was hard to understand. Truley one of the best things to come out of England since the Cooper

The 'fat guy' was Alexei Sayle.. possibly spelt Alexei wrong..but still!

risingabov · Mar 26th, 2004, 03:52 PM

When he arrives, he'll be named Dickie (as in Jude Law's character, Dickie Greenleaf, in The Talented Mr. Ripley).

bradman · Mar 26th, 2004, 04:16 PM

OK, now can you name the mystery person and his car?

(see attachment)

Isn't that a Porsche 550 spyder owned by that guy who sells sausage links on TV?

I named my MINI......rover...

....as in rover MINI. Here rover...come rover...want to go for a run, rover?

bradman · Mar 26th, 2004, 07:11 PM

lol, wmd...that's JAMES Dean not JIMMY Dean..you knew that!

Yep, James Dean's Porsche 550 spyder race car that he died in on Friday September 30, 1955 while on the way to Salinas, Califonia to compete in a SCCA event that weekend.

So I was wondering what names we've all given our little darlings.

My ONE is called Mkenzy, and she's a girl!

My ONE is called Mickey (as it is a MINI) and my Mum's cooper is FLC (farty little car - named after my mum tried to impress my dad with her 16 inch alloys and he said 'I do not want to see the farty little wheels')
