So I guess an S that is female is in the line of Queen Elizabeth I, Joan of Arc, Eleanor of Aquitaine. . .

Unknown to most MINI owners, the MINI is actually a hermaphrodite. Although I believe it is still trying to get the proper operation so that it has some gender definition. The R56 is an example of this...

So since the R53 MCS is two-balled, are the one-ballers out there castrating their cars? I mean if we're getting into gender identity let's get this straight. And if you're removing both ***** and adding a different exhaust...never mind.

Same here, almost...Clemson, MS Comp Sci. 2004. Close to home for me.

Guess our S fits the manly female category, being named after Lovely Rita from the Beatles' song:
"In a cap she looked much older,
And the bag across her shoulder
Made her look a little like a military man."

Just a theory...and definitely just for laughs...
IF a 2-ball were to represent a male, going to a 1-ball would be like birth control...and since it is necessary to have an exhaust, female or male, would modding to a Catback signify a sex change????

Then again, on the flipside, the 2-ball, can represent ovaries, and.......
.....that's enough of that!!!

Someone else can take it to the next level...if they have the *****!

Mine's a girl....she just is...I knew it as soon as I got in the drivers seat that first time. And as for the "brothers" on the ride over....well, I just have to assume that my Mini was one popular girl. It also made me very sure that she can hang with the boys.

Cars have genders....yeah, they're just cars. Whatever. The car will let you know....my boyfriend has a couple of Audis - TT is definitely a girl (petite, curvy and cranky) but the RS4 is definitely a boy (big, growls, and lots of power).

I have to say, though....my Mini....well, it's the first time I've been in love with a girl.

Freudians would claim that he's a guy, then, since the length of a well-rolled cannoli exceeds its width. Then there's the filling. . . oh, nevermind!

Brings new meaning to "Food ****" (that's the thread you should not visit when hungry, in the Off Topic forum here)

Perhaps if it had the Mercury Mistress modification, you'd feel more comfortable

I don't know. . . those tailpipe burns are about halfway up the leg, indicating a more male (bulldoggy) situation.

Zippy has told me he is a boy car...

"Down Zippy! You behave!"

"Sorry officer, Zippy was being bad. You say you clocked me at 115? Bad Zippy!"
