I named my MINI Bumble because she looks like a big bumble bee. I like to identify with my cars on a personal (Psychotic?) level so I have named pretty much all of them. This is the first one that I named because she looked like something else. Usually I am driving along and something hits me, or someone will say something and BAM! The car has a name. It is not always quick but it always fits to me.

Having named cars for many years, here's a thought.
When we picked up the car and my wife drove it the first day, she said: "That car is TOO Sweet". 2SWEET stuck. BUT, after a month or two we discovered she (and she is a she) didnt like that name. She wanted a new one, one SHE liked, not one WE liked. You see, she likes Bling but she also aint necessarily sweet.
So we figure, why not, let her tell us what she wants to be called. And so we wait. She's picky.
Bottom line, drive it around a bit. After awhile, she or he will tell you what she or he wants to be called

We looked at the colors in MINICCI and what we saw on the road. Choose Black as it was RARE and hid the wheel arches best.
We had to accept the fact, to get the car at the price we want and the level of accessories (DIG) we wanted it would mean ordering. NEVER ordered a car before. Always bought off the lot. Found out that we had to go 2006 when we placed the order. That left no choice what so ever. The only black in 2006 is Astro Black. Have to admit that we would have went Jet Black had the option been available.
Yes I am getting to it...
We placed the order and HBO was running MIB the original movie. Found the Video for the theme song on the web.... Song in the head.. MINI on the Brain...
