Speedy as she's Speedwell blue and being a standard 850, is slow.
Trevor came with his name but his reg is TFR which is where his previous owner got it from.
Paddy came with his name too, named after Paddy Hopkirk.
Pooh as he's a Russet brown Clubman estate.
Marty as his reg is MJF, so after the character that Michael J Fox played in Back to the Future.
Betty as she a Jet Black and after Black Betty.
Henry as he's H reg and a Cooper
Tommy after Tommy Cooper but he's also H reg but we'd already used Henry.
Jared named by my son apparently after someone in Muse and he's J reg and red.
Mr Bump came with his name. The previous owner's nieces named him as he's sort of Mr Bump colours and they found sitting in the back very bumpy.

Wonder if AVV IT will be along with his usual inanimate object naming lecture, or whether he's given up the will to live with another Mini naming thread :lol:

JOHN! because my girlfriend is obsessed with naming cars, so she's decided the name! I'm not arguing though she let me buy it :D

Paint code is C O S, number plate ending in TOA.  Given I was being taught SOH-CAH-TOA to do trigonometry at school when I bought it, named it Trig asa joke. It stuck.....


we learnt that as 'sex on hard concrete always hurts the one above'

I inherited the name Stimpy for my clubby estate.  The previous owner wanted to name it after the cleverer one but out of a choice of two she got it diametrically wrong!  :teehee:  Seem to fit so it's stuck :-)
