I have an Austin Healey called Ruby and she's very much a "she", as I thought all vehicles were....but when I was test driving the Defender all I could think about was being in a tank.....it just felt like I could drive over anything....and I recalled a story I'd heard about Viscount Montgomery of Alamein who had his own command tank.....before I knew it I was referring to the Defender as "Monty"...and it's stuck solid.

Co-incidentally, Viscount Montgomery died on the day I was born. I think that's a sign....

I call mine "The Esky" because it's blue with a white lid...

Hmmm the name debate still


ours is RED 130 for obvious reasons...it is RED and a 130

though all our other trucks are female for SWB and male for LWB...for obvious reasons...there a lot who disagree with this notion but that is my opinion and I will stick with it

PS see below for names

I looked at your car and 'Buster' jumped to mind.
Mine is called 'the grey ghost'. It is grey and … well that's it.

My ute was originally nicknamed Kimberley because that is where it is going to end up. But recently it's had the moniker of 'Wolf Creek' or 'the truck'.

Question is..is it bad luck to rename the vehicle? like it is supposed to be bad luck if you rename a ship?
