"Small." It makes the observer make the Star Wars connection on their own. Very clever, BTW.

We are still in waiting...

But whenever she arrives, our Nightfire Red Clubman shall be Lola. We like Lola because depending on our mood she can be the Lola of "we drank champagne and danced all night" or "she was a showgirl" fame, take your pick

We don't have a production date assigned yet, but it is starting to look like it will be a long wait :( Dealer is telling me Oct/Nov for delivery.

I knew I couldn't be the only one who thought of "Zug". A friend pointed out to me, that in the early incarnations of the game, World of Warcraft, the Orcs would make a "zug zug" noise, so I found this piece of art, and have three possible titles. I am going to have this made into a vinyl decal and put it on the suicide door.

I have a PS/PS with panoramic sunroof, sports suspension, limited slip, manual 6 spd, sirius lifetime, dsc, gray checkered interior

1) Zug Zug
2) Zig Zag Zug
3) You had me at Zug

After much consideration and a week of ownership, we (the whole family), decided on Aubrey..this would have been the name of first born, but she was born she was a girl and the wife felt this was a boys name

I'm considering "The Kelvinator" or "Amana" for our pending PW/PW/B Clubman. Hard to know if it's XX (female) or XY (male) until it actually happens and we've spent some time together.


If the thought offends anyone, will it help to know I'm planning to put bonnet stripes on our new freezer?

I'm still thinking on names. I love star wars so the star wars references are all awesome. Mine is definitely a girl! She is a graceful and powerful at the same time. I'm thinking Leah for princess Leah (sp?). She doesn't look like a leah though. She looks more like Lee. Still got some thinking. Hhhmmmm.

other names:

Newton-- because she is designed to take advantage of all the laws of physics and possibly bend a few!!

Montana-- her lightning blue looks like the big sky of Montana.

Sam-- short for samantha and referencing her born on date of July fourth.

Lee-- see post above

Our baby is not quite here yet (scheduled for production, no date) but I have been given this name thing some thought. We ordered a CR/B Clubman S and I feel that this Mini will be a HER. So Hermione it is! For those of you who are not huge Harry Potter fans, Hermione is a very clever, quick thinking witch. A true friend you can always count on.

Do you live in SC, by any chance?

Like your configuration, btw...I was really leaning towards PW/B for a while, thinking it would be the perfect limo for my Dalmatian.

I'm naming mine 'Trooper' - as in Storm Trooper, since my Clubman is PW/B.
