Peggy, she's my baby.

 

I have never named any of my past cars. No name ever seemed to come to me that fit. Not totally sure about my MINI. A friend suggested Blue Lightning since she is Lightning Blue. Name is starting to ring with me.

 

My Astra was Astrar, my 2011 was Minnie and my 2013 is Mitty :D I had a lolvo in the past but it wasn't really mine so it didn't get a name.

 

Mine is called Sully after the character in Monsters, Inc. it's a 2013 MCS kite blue with white top and bonnet stripes. Fun car to drive.

 

Pepper Potts. She is conservative on the outside, fiesty on the inside. She is pepper white with red upholstery.

 

George. As in "I will love him and squeeze him and name him George" like the abominaniminable snowman:
Previous cars were Bessie (Volvo 240 wagon), Jim (olds), Alice (larger olds*) and The UDS (an e30 that was my DD, but has moved into the project/what the hell am I thinking tying to deal with this rust stage).

* FYI, neither were my father's oldsmobile.

 

My wife nicknamed our Mini Cooper 'Penny' 'cos she is from Penny Lane originally, and it reminds her of home .

 

Kind of a long story about CiCi, but here's goes. So I originally really really reeeeeeeeeeeeally wanted an Electric Blue Mini. Reminded me so much of the Caribbean sea and is just the prettiest color ever! So I was going to name the EB Carrie, short for the Caribbean sea. But I couldn't wait to find the right EB, so I got a Laser Blue. Since in the right light, if you squint a little, LB looks a lot like EB, I figured this one must be Carrie's cousin. So Carrie's Cousin = CC = CiCi :D Although lately she's been reminding me of Smurfette.

 

my 2 year old and 4 year lovingly call it mini car and get sad when I work on it

 

We named ours Sly as in Sly Cooper one of my son's favorite video games when he was younger. Ironically Sly is a raccoon and they can do a lot of damage to a MINI so hopefully out of respect for a fellow raccoon they will steer clear of him.

 

these are all so awesome...love it!!!!
thanks so much for telling your stories.

 

Call my girl the Pocket Rocket

 

2005 Mini S - Pure Silver Metallic - "Hi Ho Silver" After the Loan Ranger of course.

2006 Mini - Liquid Yellow - "Zonker" after Screaming Yellow Zonker's, a yellow popcorn treat from the '70's

Please help, I have Liquid Yellow Owners badge for the '06, would like a link for Pure Silver Badge;

 

Steve. It's needed a guys name cuz he's got *****. ;-)

 

.......

That's why I named my '14 Roadster S "John Bull". I really couldn't envision driving a car with a feminine name. With all due respect to the MINI ladies at NAM, of course. Everyone should name their MINI as they see fit.

 

Pretty much any car I have own is of the female persuasion. Just seems right to me. Treat them right and they treat you right. Treat them bad and watch out...

 

I have a wife and two daughters. Enough females around here - I need a male Roadster here to add to the testosterone count.

 

I hope you don't have one of those disgusting sacs on the back of your John Bull that I see on some pickup trucks. JK.

 

Once my Roadster arrives from England, I seriously doubt you'll see anything outside factory and dealer installed equipment. No mods and certainly no 'sacks'. Regarding the testosterone, I'm speaking figuratively, not literally.l

 

Lil Rogrrrr "Rog " for short. Came from the pirate theme I have going on and just seemed to fit

 

I simply call it The Mini. My co-workers call it TheraceMINI!

 

Benni. Sounds like a Brit girls name and she looks like a Benni.

 

lol not always. i treated my neon like gold, yet her name was b**ch. she fought you for hours when trying to mod her, but once it was in she was a happy girl.

 

My BRG 06 R53 looks like the Jolly Green Giants little friend "Sprout". So Sprout it is.

 

Clive...after British actor Clive Swift. " Minding the sidewalk, Hyacinth."
