WooHoo!

Greetings all,

Day 3 of ownership. History of driving older Bimmers. This car has all of the visceral feel of the E30's and E28's, but all of the refinement I could want (BT, convenience access, nice stereo, killer moonroof(s), etc). I haven't been this excited about a new car in a while--of course, it's the first car I've owned since new in quite a while.....

My new ride needs a name; suggestions welcome.....

Cheers,
JV
'10 MCS, 6-sp man, Midnight Black/white roof/sport stripes/lounge leather

Welcome! Which Portland are you? We're moving up your way in a few weeks if its the Oregon one.

Since your car is Midnight Black, how about Night or Raven?

Enjoy your car! You went with the color combo I was going to order, except back in the day, my option was Astro Black which was too blue for me. I'm happy with my Sparkling though, so no complaints!

I'm in Portland, OR - as proven by the custom, atmospherically-applied humidifying topcoat on my MCS....

Hmm...that didn't work. Let's try again....

I am clearly not doing well attaching a photo, though I normally accomplish this without difficulty.
I suppose you'll have to go to the link or help me figure out what I'm doing wrong....

Sweet ride! Midnight black and white is a pretty good looking combo. It looks like your car just got out of a nice sauna.

Since you're in Oregon, how about "Donald"?

Welcome to the forum, good looking MINI, it's fun to have a new car isn't it? Good luck with "no name".
