Any relation to Nigel Shiftright automotive anachronism? :cornut:

 

Hi Cross Fit! I'm Boot Camp! Will you be joining at MOTD? I ask because, 1. I am looking for more kickball players to join us and 2. I am looking to add to the :lolenver Convoy to Minis on the Dragon:lol:

 

Boot Camp. Thanks for the invite. I'm not quite ready to do any organized events that big yet. Hope to do some things with the local KC group first. Thanks.

 

I'm into rock climbing and use a lot of Mammut gear and the logo is red and black like my 2009 Chili Red JCW... So Mini Mammut, it's a beast!

 

At first I thought about calling it 'The Midnight Traveller' (because it is).

Then I thought of 'The Hobbit Hearse', because it looks like one.

Then I thought of my old BMW 2002ti that I called 'Gotterdammerung' because I was in my college 'Wagnerian Days' at the time. Being semi-retired (the twilight of my careers), I settled on this one.

 

^^^ I'm certain many if us here can echo your comments and experience. Thanks for the kind words...

 

Don't disparage light bulb cross threading, it's a hard learned art form. Did it again just a couple days ago. Didn't learn it from dear old dad, he never changed light bulbs, I had to acquire the skill on my own.

Friskie became Friskie of his own volition. After the first few days of us getting acquainted he just let it be know that's who and what he was.

 

My wife's 06 cooper is Autumn because she was built in October. I haven't come up with a name for my 09 clubman s yet.

 

Cutie

My boyfriend has a GTO. 400 hp. Great car. I call her "The Beast". When we bought my MINI, I asked him, "what am I going to name her?" "Cutie", he replied without a moment's hesitation. Our garage is home to "Cutie and The Beast". :wink:

 

I went a little cliche but I named mine Charlize. Kinda my tribute to the Italian Job
