Kage Vs. Vader

Wow, I like that alot, but Vader is also tempting, Kage is good though. I like the other languages idea and i'm very into asian cultures (my bedroom is Japanese themed). Come to think of it i really like Kage, but do you pronounce it "Cage" or "Ka-ge" or "Ka-ga"? Little Help?!
Thanks guys,
James

Beautiful MCS James.
Our 2005 DS/W MCS is named "Simon" after that old British show The Saint.
Since you like Japanese, you might like "Shikkoku" meaning "Jet Black"
or "Kokutan" meaning "Ebony".

My 05 cr/b mcs is Vini S. Cooper, and I suggest KIT for your car's name. If you aren't a knight rider fan, then that name won't be as fun for you as it is for me.

Famous Cars

Well,
Kitt wouldn't be bad, but i'm only 17 and I've only seen like one episode of Night Rider, and the reference would be completely lost on my friends.
Thanks though,
James

P.S. why doesn't my generation have a set of shows with famous cars? (like Night Rider, Miami Vice, etc.)

How many Americans do you know that can name their cars "Strega" and call her Streghina?

Panther

If I had a black Mini, I would call it "Panther" but then again, I am a biased Macintosh OS X - Panther lover.

Ours is called Hammond. Play on words off of our last name. Plus the name is a properly British.

My last name is starts with Eg (egg) so a lot of my nicknames are played off of that.

So the car is known as.... Hammond Eg... (Ham-and-Eg)

official title .

Just had the Sport-link installed .... for my trailer hitch .. and the name came easily ... the rear of my MCS now appears to have a pair of James Bond type gun barrels peeking out of the grills above the exhaust - one on each side..

Hence new name: Cal .... that being the last name ... Fifty is first name .. but I'll just call him Cal.

I thought my MCC was going to be a girl, but it wasn't!

Linus is my MINIs name and I LOVE him!!
I am HUGE Charlie Brown fan and the very first song played in my MINI was Linus and Lucy -- the Peanuts theme song. Well, Linus just stuck!

My friends totally got into it too. They even sent me congrats on your delivery cards (aka baby cards) for Linus! LOL!
