Ours is hereby christened "Gromit."

If you're a Nick Park fan and know "Wallace & Gromit," you'll understand why.

No, mine doesn't either...

Been on the Dragon in a MINI with no name...
==========================

A MINI with no name. By Mark (Oh, for the REALLy young NAM'ers, the melody / original song is America's "Horse with no name")

On the first part of the journey
I was feelin’ no more strife
There were bears and birds and dear and things
There were dams and window clings
The first thing I met was a guy ‘cross the line
And the guy had no damn clue
The Dragon was hot and the road was twisty
But the air was full of sound

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 ...

After two days in the Dragon sun
My car was still Chili Red
After three days in the Dragon fun
That guy crashed near the river bed
And the story it told of a MINI not slow
That guy was lucky not be dead

You see I've 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 ...

After nine days I let the MINI run free
'Cause the Dragon had excited me
There were bears and birds and dear and things
There were dams and window clings
The Dragon’s an autocross it goes round and round
And a perfect disguise above
Under the trees lies a road on the ground
But the troopers will give no love

You see I've 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 ...

Soulfire here. It is named from the Comic Soulfire because the roof graphic was drawn by Michael Turner.

MINI Pearl

Like the fine lady from the Grand Ole Opry.

I tried to keep a price tag tied to the antenna, but I never could find one hearty enough to take the wind.

My girl is named Fayt because ever since my husband got his, I was immediately jealous and wanted one of my own. When he picked his "Minion" up, there was a MCSC in BRG - but we couldn't get two in one day, could we? Well, Mother's Day rolled around, and he thought about ordering me one, but didn't. About a month later I snuck (well not really) to the dealership and bought her off the showroom floor. She was originally slotted for the finance manager, but she hadn't sold her BMW yet. My baby was fated to be mine, so I drove her off the floor.

Our LY/B was named Bumble because the neighbor said it looked like a Bumble bee coming down the street.

After Bumble saved the hubbys head when he hit the tree we saw our PW/B on the showroom floor and was immediatly named Bumble's Angel usually shortened to Angel

MIB has a paper name and a family name. Officially it is MINI IN BLACK, or MIB for short. But MrsDiff and I have pet names for MIB.

Mine's named Jekyll & Hyde, he obviously has multiple personalities. Usually he's well behaved, but suddenly...

The BRG MINI is "Angelina" as in Jolie. One sexy car.

The LY MINI is Egguin. Long story but the short of it is the love child of an Egg and a Penguin.

The name of my Mini is Mighty Mouse, he's tuned to the max and is very understated, he's always up for a challange and has never let me down, we do not go out looking for a fight, but he will always step up to the plate when asked.
