Howdy, I'm new here

Hi! I'm looking forward to my Mini Cooper S Clubman coming in, hopefully this week! My daughter says I should name it something sensible. And she claims she doesn't see why I'm so excited about it. Afterall, she says, it's not a horse; it's just a car. I think she's full of bologna, she's twisting my arm to give it to her when she's old enough. In her dreams!

Welcome to NAM!

Tell your daughter that it's your obsession and you'll name it whatever you want, just like you did when you named her.

Sounds like it should be Oscar or Meyer!

She's right. It's not a horse.

It's about 180 of them!

Welcome to NAM, the MINIverse and everything. Your daughter may call it "just a car" now, but when she gets a ride in it, she'll probably change her tune, like so many others have. Enjoy your motoring.

Hi y'all! Thanks for the warm welcome! And thanks for letting me know about the Clubman forum, I'll be joining you there. The car's name is still up for debate, but Bologna, Oscar and Meyer are out! My husband asks, why do you have to name it? Hopefully I'll get to pick it up Saturday.
