Early A.M. here. We are leaving to Portland to p.u. our new MCS. It has been a 9 month wait, but sure it will be well worth it. My dealer is 5 hrs away... the good part of that is that I have a 5 hr. drive home in a new DS/B MCS. We will be deciding on the name of the car as we travel up there. The contenders are down to: Meanie/Festus/ or Prickley Pete. We are a group of three here so whoevers' name gets chosen will get a new pair of socks in the "Big City". What would be your choice? I will check the forum when I return and see if your consensus matches ours.
Bye...be back on Monday

Congrats and enjoy, do what I did, take a one way rental to get your Mini, that way you can both ride home together.

I think you misunderstood, he's getting a Mini, not a motorhome!!

By the way, Prickly Pete.

Yeah, Prickley Pete is the best name of the bunch, however, people might call it "P.P." for short...so...

Rock On,

I think something like Meanie might be more fitting for a DS/B. The other names have a cute ring and your MINI will have a more classy, slightly menacing look, IMO. Can't wait for your report.....
