COPERNICUS is now SHADOWFAX

I've given my MINI a new name -- Shadowfax -- reasons:

1. It appears to be unique (looks like chefrichie was going to use it back in 2003 but when his CR arrived, it didn't seem to fit and he went with something else)
2. My daugher's a LOTR fanatic; she'll kill you in LOTR trivia in a heartbeat
3. It's a great moniker for a swift and regal PW/B!
4. The old name is too much like Coopernicus, an existing MINI
5. When my MINI emerges from the body shop in a week, it will have a whole new personality--that of Shadowfax!

"...not even Theoden, King of Rohan, has ever looked on a better. Does he not shine like silver, and run as smoothly as a swift stream?"
