Kunta Kente? Who's that?

Anyways, the car is everything I was hoping for! I am very pleased to get an almost new car for > $7K off the MSRP.

I could never see a MINI as anything else but cute, not really a "Manly" car in any shape or form. At least not like a '65 GTO or Chevelle SS would be. When I first saw my Coop, I knew she was a cute girl in need of a cute name....thus Wensleydale.

As for Kunta, he was a slave in the epic "Roots" played by Levar Burton of Star Trek fame. I'm not sure why a MINI would ever have that name (or be suggested) but for sure a subject that really should go no further here on NAM.

As for your MINI - Wow ! That really is a nice car and a great deal ! Welcome to the club

Cheers,

Mike

It was just a joke about how they made him change his name to Toby. To find it lighter, refer to the Dave Chappelle clip here:
