I got my first MINI

Hi, I'm Tess. I've wanted a MINI ever since they came to the US and Saturday I picked him up. Yes it's a guy, I can just feel it

.

It's not near as fancy as some, but I love him! I need help with a name. So far, all I've thought of is El Toro or El Torito.

I almost grew up with MINIs as I lived in England, and Spain for part of my childhood and teen years, and we had a MINI in both places. Of course there are So much nicer now!

A very big moment, Tess! Congratulations! I don't have any ideas for a name. Mine is a girl. I thought "Girlfriend" would be good, but my wife didn't. Imagine that!

Enjoy!

Tess, Welcome to NAM. El Torito works for him, until he grows up, then you might want to go with El Toro.

Again, Welcome and enjoy your MINI.

Glad to have another NFR owner on board Tess. Of course, we have to see pictures to verify it really exists, so post some when you get a chance!

Sounds like you made a wonderful choice in El Torito/Toro, but like me your cars name may 'morph' once you start add things here and there, or once you get to know hm better. Cant wait to see your pictures!
