Me TooI think we all could call all the Minis "GoDammit" I II III IV etc. because I swear these people have no idea who are driving in front of me. And my favorite is when you try to pass them and they speed up. Not a good thing because you will just have to show them what a "GoDammit" can do.

Ms. Potts
Introducing....
Ms. Potts, a.k.a. Pepper Potts. Not overly original I know, but she spoke to me.

I haven’t decided yet as my MINI hasn’t arrived yet, but I’m thinking “M” Like from James Bond. Very British, but also short for MINI!

I never got around to naming our R53, but we just picked up our new R60 and I'm thinking of calling it "Riley." No real reason... haha

Kind of a tribute to the original upgrade Mini, the Riley Elf? Good name though!

Mr Salt actually refers to the human owner of the Mini. For years he was part of an LBO group and they owned a very large salt company.

I have never named a car. My daughter however have decided on a name for my month old clubman. They call her Christine. I could not figure out why, but my wife eventually let the cat out of the bag. The name is from the movie of the same name. Man's obsessive love for his car who controls his life. See what I have to live with!!!

She is called Dorothy
This was a no brainer. My mother passed away a few years before I bought a Mini and the color of my car,laser blue metallic, really matched her eyes. I added Union Jack scuttles to my car since my mother, Dorothy, was from England. Had to call my Mini, Dorothy.
