Help me name my car! :)

Hello everyone! I know it is mostly a personal thing to name your vehicle, but I really need some help with suggestions or ideas! Can you help me name this bad boy (or girl)?

2010 Cooper S Camden 50, stick shift and scary fast!

Any help is greatly appreciated! Bonus points for wordplay or humor in the name.

Slick... Short for Slick 50! Like the motor oil and the fact that it's a slick 50th anniversary edition! Hmm, maybe...

Christine sounds to close to my name (Chris)! I'm still thinking...

Haha, Camden Diaz. Quicksliver is cool too. I was thinking maybe something British and classy sounding... Niles?

Lawrence. If you haul a lot of stuff in it, you could refer to it as "Lorry". (Brit-speak for "truck".)

And that way you could refer to it as "Lawrence of Wicker Park", or whichever Park you are in.

Maybe Shifty... Short for Shifty Fifty. Shifty because it's a manual and Fifty for the anniversary edition. Shifty!?

Absolutely not necessary. Just think it is good practice. Don't take but a sec w editing. No reason to be alarmed. Sorry if I worried you

looks great... I have 2 names... They may be silly, but I like playing the game.

White Lightning (Also could use Moonshine)

Mini Pearl ((Minnie Pearl) she was also the lady with the tag on her hat on Hee Haw)

Perhaps spelled "Stirling" as in Sir Stirling Moss, the famous racing driver. Meets your classy and Britiish criteria to a tee!

it would make you sounds like a "Honda fanboi"

And though the Camden is silver, 50th anniversary are celebrated with Gold. . .but Goldmember sounds silly for a Silver Camden

I dunno . . .it is one Nifty Fifty though
