I sure hope it doesn't make it to Japan before the car makes it to me.
Arrived at the dealer today. 65 days...9.3 weeks order to delivery.

I see a lot of people have named their MINI's; are the names personal choice or is the name given by MINI at the car's "birth"? Just curious.

Personally, I think it's an inanimate object and doesn't need a name. Girlfriend thinks I'm silly and named it in spite of me. So if you want to name it, pick one that matches what you think it's personality is and go with it.
