    Coincidentally, it's also "National Ignore Name Your Car Day".

    We MINI owners have been doing this for quite some time.

    Mine is GNAT - Much like the bug it gets it name from, it's small, fast and annoying.

    I have not thought of a name for my Mini yet. But I have only had it for 11 years.

    Based on your formula, shouldn't that be a Zudi? :D

    The only things I've ever named were boats.

    As cheesy as it is, we've grown fond of naming our cars.

    Nigel - 2008 Mini Cooper S Conv Sidewalk
    Bertha - 2006 Range Rover Supercharged
    Pearl - 1999 Land Rover Discovery
    Ambrosia - 1994 Range Rover LWB
    Aurora - 1994 Land Rover Defender 90 NAS
    Rusty - 1985 Land Rover Defender 110

    Noticed the trend? They're all brits and they're all PITA! :)

    I don't generally name things, but since my name begings with a "Z," I sometimes replace the first letter of my car/boat/watercraft. I often redesign the logos, too.

    I have owned two Ziatas, a ZeaDoo PWC and ZeaDoo boat, and three Zaudis.

    I'm just not sure what I think of "ZINI."

    Oh, I have. :wink:

    I have other cars with no names - a 2014 VW CC, a 2010 Prius and a beater 1993 Toyota Camry. I sold the two Toyotas and the 2 LR Defenders, but still own the rest.
