"WHO has Nigel?"

Since you'd say "He has Nigel," the question is "Who has Nigel?" "Whom" would be appropriate for
"To whom was Nigel given?" since you'd say, "Nigel was given to him."

I have Nigel. He's going to the Import and Kit Car show in Carlise PA this weekend. Also late this week or next he's going to do a couple photo ops around DC, some monuments and such as well as some photos out on the Potomac aboard the s/v Toyot with photos off DC, the war college and Oldtown. At that point I'll shout at the group here and see who can commit to expanding his DCMM travels a bit more.

We'll then need to look for a event that will include some DCMM and other club members to get him on to the next club.

Nigel and I are going to the Import and Kit car show in Carlisle PA this weekend. Otherwise I'd be at your place for sure! I think Nigel will defintaely need a trip to Annapolis, and probably Baltimore's Inner Harbor before leaving DCMM's hands.

What the heck is Nigel? A MINI-riding garden gnome? He should probably stop by Belle Haven Marina for a sailboat ride...

I thought you all were talking about Nigel the MINI which belong to one of the BMW club guys...

If y'all ever decide that Nigel needs to visit SeaWorld, the SD Zoo, Disneyland, the USS Nimitz, Legoland, the Hotel Del Coronado, have his picture taken on a military aircraft, and ride the high seas of the Pacific ocean - send him to San Diego I will help and take lots of pics.

I did this once for a friend's daughter, though in that instance the travel buddy was named "Flat Stanley". She lived in NYC and sent Flat Stanley to friends throughout the United States over a 9 month school year. It was quite the traveling documentary when finished.

I've got one more trip for him tomorrow, and then I will post the pics from his adventures with me Friday or Fri eve. I'll be looking to hand him off this weekend for his next set of adventures. I'd suggest Annapolis & Baltimore before he leaves DCMM and the area. ANd maybe someone going to the MINI record attempt down in Norfolk or wherever that is?

We would gladly take him to the GWR in VA.
