Announcing the Formation of a CR/B GROUP!

This message is to announce the formation of a CR/B club here on NAM! As CR/B owners we are a special group within an already special group of people. We have a sharp eye for style, JUST look at that black roof! I seek to celebrate this sense of style by forming a group of us CR/B owners so that we can stand out in the faceless ( ) crowds on NAM!

The first order of buisness is the selection of our group's name... I'm currently tossing some ideas around in my head, but I feel the naming should be left up to all the members. Suggestions for the name can be as silly or ganster as you want, anything from Chili Red Gangsters to Little Red Buggers but I'm leaning toward something in the middle.

To join, post a reply in this thread, and it SHOULD include a picture of your CR/B Mini. As posts come I will create a list of members...


I look forward to all of your replies!

Also, Props to Dufrinr for his input and research for the group!


Ryan

Founder of "Still Yet To Be Unamed CR/B Mini Club"

The University of Georgia is the "Bulldogs". Their school colors are red and black. Maybe something like "CR/B Bulldogs"????

My apologies to alum from Georgia Tech...

Blood Brothers.

.... get it? tee hee hee.

That name sucks I know, still kind of funny. Goodluck to you guys.

I tried doing something similar once on NAM, but was labelled as been discriminatory. It was great. . Looks like you guys are doing great though, I'll try and think of a better name.

Oh, and just a little fyi, in case some of you guys dont know.. the "Chili" in Chili Red is named after the little hot Chili ::



, and not the Ground beef in U.S. known as Chilli. SOmething to keep in mind when thinking of a name maybe.

"Chili MINIS : We make your **** burn"

How about that one? .... Actually, I'm not too fond of the name, but the slogan is great, no?
