Woven. Random, and rubbish, but the first thing I thought of when I saw WVN.

Or how about 'Wyvern' as in the legendary winged creature, looks like a Griffin.

Or Peter!
You should be able to work out how I got there.

[adam_93rio]

Peter!?

ive been thinking about this a lot today.

the guy from work who i got it off only half owned it with his dad. they bought it together as another fixer upper (after the many minis they have owned)
unfortunatly his dad died and he'll never manage to get the time nor money to fix her up without his dads help. so he had to sell to get it out of his mums way

i looked at the logbook today after thinking about this, and he was called alan hind
i thought that alan sounds a bit grown up for a little standard mini, so i looked further and his middle name was ronald.

i think it suits very well. and when he is restored he will have a little name badge in the back window which hopefully my friend will see and realise

im hoping its a nice thing to do for him, and to kind of have it all restored to how they got it (completely standard) exept probably a concourse car) in his memory

do you think its a good idea?
