quick question

i've got a quick question about the names of the cars. do the cars come with a tag saying what their name is from the factory, or do you get to pick one out, or what?

i'm just wondering if i'm going to have to try and rack my brain for a name for mine.

There are no assigned names from the factory, but a lot of MINI owners feel that once they get their babies, the name comes to them. Your car "tells" you what its name should be.

wrxgoose - there's no protocol for the name. Like minicooperwill said a lot of MINI owners feel like naming their new arrivals. In our case we decided to name our buggy after the rolling hills in our area and included a reference to the color of the car. We live in Northern Virginia with some beautiful countryside, our MCSa is dark silver - so we decided on "Greeley" - old English for grey meadows.

In fact, my car went through 2 names, until it was finally dubbed Union Jackee on Motd.

Don't worry about it. You will know when you get it. Then you will start to refer to it as if you were talking about a family member...which it will ultimately become...as is demonstrated daily on this forum...LOL
NOT THAT THERE IS ANYTIHNG WRONG WITH THAT!
