Name that Landie

[dobbo]

O.K. guys due to my recent purchase of my Bahama Gold / white Series III hardtop (which I wouldn't have purchased without this forums great technical advise) I have decided to let you, the users of this great resource decide on a name for the beast. The person who suggests the best name gets a beer brought for them or (if interstate and not able to attend) a beer will get drunk in their honor at the expo.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Need Pics!!

[dobbo]

I know, but haven't picked the car up yet and can't get there again until next Friday Pics will come asap

Goldie

Goldlandy

or whatabout "Cool runnings..." after the Jamaican bob-sled team
... Bahamas, that's near Jamaica somewhere, yeah mon!

[solmanic]

What about Simon? Don't know why, just thought Simon seemed right and a bit understated plus not a lot of people are naming their kids Simon these days.

Simon the Series III Supertroopie if you want to get all 'comic-book' about it.

[Slunnie]

As if anybody would name their kid "Simon" :lol:

I like it but naaaah the name has to enstill fear, into the minds of any who dare come across him and his chosen obstical, Simon the Series III Supertroopie that just sounds like an ABBA song remixed by Madonna tis catchy, but what to reward you with, certainly not a Guinness a drink worthy of such a noble task, perhaps a Midori, Flaming lamborghini or perhaps a chocolate drink called a ***********.

Being a Series pilot in the past and having a "Series project" taking up space in the shed I think I have the name.

[dullbird]

i think

"sloth" as they are not the fastest machines in the world

or if it's gold call it "nugget", if you call someone a nugget in the uk your calling them an idiot;)


p.s i think i should win because i don't drink alcohol so there for it would be cheaper for you:D

OOOOHHHH No,

you really are a dullbird aren't you (just kidding)
I could offer you a chip buttie instead, or perhaps a oatcakes with black puddin'

At the moment Ken does has the most appeal could always have a slide out hotplate so Ken could have Barbie on her back all the time:D :D :D

My suggestion is SPAM (it's tin boxy and **** inside) but unfortunately mine doesn't count "would look like a loner buying myself a beer"

keep 'em coming guys

[dullbird]

dobbo how about calling your car spam;)

i actually think thats quite a good name, name it that and you will just have to buy everyone a beer and a chip butty:eek:

by the way i can't stand black pudding

[VladTepes]

Goldfinger ?

Goldeneye ?

Gold-digger ?


oh wait, I know.....


The Bahama Banana

[dobbo]

Dullbird, I like the way you think (very original) but it's yellow, every one knows spam is in a blue tin.

[dullbird]

ok then call it spaghetti:angry: thats in a yellow tin

or how about a hibrid spamghetti:D

[solmanic]

the name has to enstill fear, into the minds of any who dare come across him and his chosen obstical

The landrover in "The Gods Must Be Crazy" was called "the Antichrist". That's pretty fearsome.

How about Victa, you could call it Rover but there is already a lawn mower company using that name. Matt:D

[Farnarkle]

Is it too late to enter? How about "Digger" as in Gold Digger or Gobbo - with these two suggestions I reckon I should win. Do I get to name the beer you drink for me as well?

[Omaroo]

Nugget

Thats you as well



Besides your the one with the airbag suspension


I just have one in the passenger seat

[DiscoDave]

Didn't you somewhere describe the colour as "diarrhoea yellow"?
In which case it should be called Enema, and if you drive it well that should be the effect on your passengers too!:lol:

[dobbo]

with suggestions like enema and nugget. :o:o:o:o:o



I just had to check this wasn't one of those european fetish sites



Then again a Land Rover is a pommie car (european)

We can get a bit obsessed with them

This is a web site







I might be full of something at times but I'm sorry, I don't think i could drive a car called "enema"

[solmanic]

I endorse "Nugget".

[Pedro_The_Swift]

still holding out for the photo---:cool:

[wazonthehill]

and on trips a far
it could be "The Newie Nugget" or "Novo Nugget"
of course "Goldie Oldy"
"The Blight" (The blight of Bonnels Bay)
"WALIAYLRS3" (think beatles song)
"Wohrimd" (wife off horse riding in my disco)
Enama has a ring to it, like get out of my way, its a coming and you can not stop it.
"Snowy"
"Jaundice Janet"
"The Oil-nator"
or by the sounds of it "Brakeless Betty"
"Trundle"
"Smokey"

"MINE"

[wazonthehill]

Stopped on work and had a squizz at the new ride.

I must say they i am currently stumped on "picking a name that strikes terror into all that see her".

But tou got yourself a bargin (and you never even told us about the roll of loo paper and can of WD40 in the back)

The good thing is the back looks big enough to sleep in when your "air suspension" gets to much to handle (she would only be jealous of "old mustard" and the time you are spending with her)

I think every series Landy must be known as "the mistress".
She will be your love and lust (and not answer back!)

Did you check if it's 2 or 4 ply?

picks tommorow night guys

[DiscoDave]

Stick with your 'Lord of the Rings' theme (I assume that's where "my precious" comes from?) and call it Galadriel or Sauron. That should invoke fear, at least in the LOTR fans! :)

Well Tolken did drive a landie

[LandyAndy]

KEN has still got to be up there.
If Dobbo and KEN werecruising thru Williams at 7.30 this morning,they would have said what a cold KENjoint of a place,it was minus3.
Andrew

[Ralph1Malph]

My late grandmother was called Dorothy and I would appreciate it if you name your new series with her in mind.
Please do not laugh at my suggestion, it fits with the theme as well so that makes it all the more appropriate..
You see, another famous dorothy (wizard of Oz) followed the yellow brick road. See where I am going here with this!
She was accompanied by a fierce lion who made all that he met sh*t themselves with fear and awe.
See I told you dorothy was appropriate:)
Then there was the tin man, indestructable, if a little squeaky and leaky.
See it all fits doesn't it.
Dorothy would be perfect.


:D :D :D :lol: :D :D :D

It's up there with 'em

[dobbo]

So far the favorites are :


Ken, Nugget, Spam, T.A.R.D.I.S, Victa, Old Mustard, Sauron, The bahama banana

[dobbo]

I got it home :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

used car salesmen, the plicks, swapped the batteries over on me. I found out the hard way when I stalled it, in traffic, I turned the key and guess what no crank. Naturally no one would help push so I could clutch start it. One idiot directly behind me decided to sound the horn to make me move. I nicely explained to him if he'd like to help push my so called P.O.S I could get it out of his way, If not S.T.F.U. He obliged by taking his finger of the horn, figures.
In the end a Cruiser driver gave me a push, I clutched it, she fired up and got me home. The brakes aren't the best at the moment and the only keys supplied won't fit the door locks, therefore I cannot lock it up. Hey you don't get perfection for $500.00.

I've taken pictures but for some reason my P.C won't read my camera. Thats something to sort out tommorow

[dobbo]

Heres pictures sorry about quality camera not uploading to p.c had to use camcorder so they're a bit small

After seeing the pics I reckon my suggestion of Gobbo fits - my kids name for the goat when we had it - looks like it could eat oilcans and **** gear cogs :)

[DiscoDave]

You got a great buy Dobbo! :)

[dobbo]

Times runnin' out

[murray]

Most Victorians, well Melbournians, will know of an infamous sculpture called...... "the Yellow Peril" now if that dosn't strike fear into the hearts of all and sundry then nothing will.




I drink Coopers Pale Ale, but anything called beer will suffice if non is available at the expo.

Dude... there must be something there that's remotely useful... :mellow:

[dobbo]

O.k guys any last suggestions?

[dobbo]

I just read a thread by a new member Roadkill

He summed it up perfectly


Old landies never die, the evil dead cannot die,they just get collected, waiting to rise up at the end of the world


Due to that fact that my Landie was literally 5 minutes away and $500.00 away from an untimely death. It seemed fitting that this Zombie theme should flow onto it's name,

A few of you have indicated the colour should reflect the name i.e Yellow, Mustard, Bahama etc...

And finally If the Landy does not have Ken in it's name LandyAndy will hassle the S**t out of me for the rest of my life, and probably the afterlife...

So after careful thought and consultation with my kids, dog and wife


I have chosen



KEN the Mustard Zombie

It seems to fit except for the stereotypical zombie catch cry "Brains" it's a Landie zombie it cries for "Oil"

[UncleHo]

G'day Dobbo :)

How about

Serious Landy
Serious Banana
Serious Bahama Banana


"IT"

"The Thing" :) :)

[UncleHo]

Oops:o


6 minutes to late:( :D

[dobbo]

Missed it , by that much 99
