I think I've finally come up with a name, Milo from Phantom Tollbooth. That was a great book.

Wow, Phantom Tollbooth, I haven't thought about that book in a long, long while. I may have to go find a copy so I can read it to my daughters. Nice name.

Mr. Higgins

I guess I saw too much Magnum P.I. as a kid... I like to call mine Mr. Higgins. I needed an appropriately british name, the long version is Sir Higgins Chazminsterbuckingstonworthforshire.

My girlfriend thinks it's great because "Magnum" is riding in the car.... her nickname for me is MagicMagnum. Uh, because of all things trojan in nature...ahem.

I decided on "Nacho" for my MY/BK MCS ... the yellow reminds me of the liquid nacho cheese from convenience stores

PRETTY HATE MACHINE

The car's a little too cute for me so I had to level it out with the name. In a few months the looks will fit the name. I'm in the process of doing something downright evil never done to one of these before.

kind of a big nails fan.

I never was much for naming my cars, so I didn't have one 'til I saw this post, which got me to thinking .... if ever I owned a car that needed a name, it's this one. So ...

Alvin, 'cos he looks kinda like a chipmunk.

I named my mini Agnetha after the blonde singer from ABBA. They both have great voices, nice bottoms and great yellow hair!

Alsatia is her name and she'll be born Sunday according to 866-ASKMINI

Alsatia because ever since toys I've loved that name.

Alsatia was the robot in toys and even when she was damaged they were able to rebuild her as new.

I've also found out since that movie was released that "Alsatia" was actually a place outside of London that was rumored to be lawless. In fact, Wikipedia describes the area this way:
Between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries it had the privilege of a sanctuary, except against a writ of the Lord Chief Justice or of the Lords of the Privy Council; and as a result it was the refuge of the perpetrators of every grade of crime, debauchery, and offence against the laws.

I hope this holds true for the PA state police too.

So far because of the BRG and Flame Spokes (they look like horseshoes), I am going with "Lucky" as in Lucky the Lepruchan from Lucky Charms Cereal.

Doris Goff.

'Doris' because it's an absurd comedy Brit name (nowadays), and 'Goff' is short for 'God Of Fun'. Can't say what the other 'f' is for on here

Or 'JLS', young 'un likes it 'cos of the character of the book, 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull' and his description of speed....
