    My '12 Surf Blue Countryman S' name is Brigitte (Bri-gee-tah).
    >For the definition of the name Bridget (Celtic/Irish) or Brigitte (German/French): Resolute Strength
    >For the church I was christened in (St. Brigid's),
    >Because she looks like a Brigitte
    >For Brigitte in the Sound of Music
    My husband calls her Beezy (part of her license tag)--Oh well:)

    Jetson - it just seemed to be a vehicle from that family. Our R55 was Mumbles cause my wife thought the exhaust sounded like it was mumbling.

    Well on post #21 of this thread I talked about my 08. After driving my wires 05 MCS Cabrio I found out that I really liked the supercharger much more then the turbo. With this in mind I sold my 08 and then a week latter found my 06 MCS Cabrio. The only issue was that both cars are Hyper Blue hers has white stripes and mine has black stripes. Now with two MINI's in the garage the name was set at "Yang". Sure makes driving to my second job after retiring from the Navy after 30 years a lot more fun. :D

    "Tackleberry" is a nickname someone gave me at work because of the amount of guns I own. I figured it was a good enough name for a bad a$$ little MINI.
