Even with the stripes, the Mini is female. A feisty female.

Car's are normaly girls....but the stripes make it more masquilin...so, I vote for transvestite.

Life: No one gets out alive.

and it doesn't feel right having a car with no name

Well to me it doesn't, as Taw, or Big Monky as he is now calling himself, would know, it is a Maritime tradition to name a ship, because of Maritime legend that has it, that a ship without a name spells bad luck. It might be the same without Cars, I don't know if any of your "named cars" have been involved in any accidents, but I am sure they are not.

about naming the car, as your Car emits a certain aura of Power of the oppressed, I'd think a funky yet powerfull name would sound right, can't think of any, but reading about your past has led me to think you have more then enough funk in you to pull that off

P.S., a name like "Aleksei" should sound right. or if you want feminine and power, I'd suggest something in the direction of "Emily Parkhurst" would sound right

lol

@loc I'm not sure how to take that interesting thought on the funking up of the name...maybe I haven't given this enough thought...!

Interesting that you mentioned about accidents and the named cars. I named my first car because it was so unique it felt like it had a personality....she was a beauty that lasted me until the day she died...but when I got my second I thought the idea of naming another seemed silly so I didn't bother. That car was broken into 4 times. So out of sheer hope for not repeating history, I named my third, a company car which did me no wrong for the 2 years I had it. By the time of the fourth I gave up again on the naming convention...and this car turned out to be my worst of all....costing me almost £2000 in maintenance in the six months that I kept it. I've had three cars since, named them all, never had a break in, a break down or any kind of accident.

Hence, that is the exact reason why I wish to name my 8th car. I'm not a particularly superstitious man...but when I see a good pattern, I like to stick with it

I think its safe to say that the majority see a feminine side in this car, so a girl she will be....the name however is a little harder. I think I'll sleep on it...and scour some jazz cds in the morning

There is no Silicon Heaven! But where do all the calculators go ?

You could no more evade my wrath... than you could your own shadow!

The number plate says "LX"... "Lexia" perhaps?

Also, cars are supposed to be female! Like boats/ships .

What's wrong with Julian? I think you should call it Julian.

Hmm The Grommobile vs. the Tawpocoalypse 1000x. Place your bets!

lol. that really would be an episode of wacky races

*Raises hand* Oh! Oh! Can I be in Taw's car? I could play "Muttley" .
