Mines named Smurfette cause it just looks like a smurf with the white roof and blue body and white wheels. At first it was going to be just Smurf but then i decide the car was a girl so it became Smurfette.

Mine is named CHECKS since he was a Checkmate MCS I started calling him that before I decided that would be his name.

I've been on the Dragon in a MINI with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
On the Dragon you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...


I loved the remake. My MINI's name is LULU.

If you are speaking of the "Cars" ones check the "what if" thread in mini talk.

Rudy is mine. My polite southern wife had nickname me Ruby a long time ago. Something about me being rude alot. I always tell her, I'm not rude, I'm from New York. If you put me in a room full of New Yorkers, I fit right in . Acutally the real problem is she's too freakin nice. Yeah, that's the ticket.

We have had ours for 3 months and can't agree on name. My significant other is in charge since it is her car, and she insists on it being a female. I think the personality is more of a male, but I could be mistaken, and frequently am.
I had an Alfa Romeo named Carmella, but still can't come up with suitable name for our newest family addition...

At first I had one and it was just "the Mini", but then I got another one and it got confusing in conversations so I named this one Miss Blue,


And this is Mr. Green,

When I bought Paris last August, Faith Hill had just released the album Fireflies. The last song is titled Paris. I bought the album on the way to have one of my other Coopers serviced. After having it serviced I notices a new MCSC Pure Silver on the showroom floor and just feel in love with it. After asking what my dealer would give in trade I drove the new cabrio home playing Faith's new album and the song Paris over and over and over. By the time I got home there was no question what I had to name her.

I think I've finally decided on a name for my DS/DS 04 MCS. I just got it about two months ago and suddenly just thought of this name. It came to me because the way my friend's brooklyn accent is. The was he says Cooper is just not right. He says it with such an accent it sounds like Koopa. So I've decided to name my MINI...... KOOPA ya know? from Super Mario Brother a.k.a. Bowser What's everyone think. It's been verry hard for me to decide.

I wanted to name my Mini but a name never came to me no matter how hard I tried. Nothing seemed to fit so I decided she wasn't meant to have a name & I'm OK with that

ooo, I was so tempted to go with Winnie Cooper. Actually, I was going to officially name her Winifred and call her Winnie for short. I love it!

Well, we toyed with the idea of calling our's "Astro" (I know, REAL creative ) or maybe even calling her our "Mach 5 Racer" but in the end,
"Drill Bit" seems to fit nicely
