Now I recognize it "Samsung" from your post in the Pepper White Club - it's all coming together.

- Issigonis, perfect! But I don't think it would make a good name for a clubman - anyone else have some good names?

HI all, Seems like I've posted this all over the place only to never find it again. All the other minis & MINIS have been named OAF. My 59 Morris Mini Minor was imported from England in about 1966 and still Carries its British
plates....776 OAF. Naturally my family named it OAF. The 03 Mini S was OAF 2 then 05 was OAF 3. New Clubman just didn't fit the OAF mold. Had to come up with something More Suitbale. My 5 year old grand daughter came
up with.....The Gingerbread Man....Perfect.....run,run,as fast as you can.Catch me if you can,........perfect..... perfect...For a HC Clubman.

Ever since I made the first configuration back in Feb, the name "Time Bandit" has been stuck in my head. Now it just seems natural. I never had a name for my current car (Infiniti J30) but the car before that was "Exit" and the truck before that was "Interceptor" My MG Midget is called "Rush". Ive always had a thing about naming vehicles.

"Izzie", which is really short for Issagonis and was suggested by my daughter after she had read a magazine article about Sir Alec. When I pointed out it should be a female name, a lady running friend of mine said Izzie could be short for Isadora Duncan, a free spirit if ever there was one. Take your pick. Note that the spelling has changed over the months. Not sure which I prefer.

She's been driving it for a couple of weeks, but I got to go toss it around the slalom course and skid pad for a couple of runs.
I suggested a couple of names- "Chubby" because of all the checkered acoutraments, and "Wilbur" because people liked the barn doors and it reminded them of Mr. Ed.
She says the name will come to her. Perhaps on a long drive or when we finally get plates for the car. For now, I may just call it "Partner" in reference to the town in Paint Your Wagon...No Name City.

Finally settled on a name... ROLO.
Originally an English candy kicked off in the 1930's, brought into the US later... dark on the outside caramel in the middle - ties well with our HC/BLK/Tuscan scheme. Lastly, MINIs and ROLOs are truly sweet and the name goes well for motoring!
