My wife hates it, so it's called Beast.
1995 Range Rover Classic Vogue SE, with working air suspension...
Previously referred to as The Event Horizon, the critical distance from a Black Hole that inexorably sucks it all in...especially money... But a certain softening (of the brain?) of my cynical view - the centre console wood came up nicely with fresh lacquer - encouraged a more...'personal' name...
The Lady Sarah, a quintessentially English name for an upper-class Woman.
Because she has delusions of grandeur, is high maintenance.... indulges in embarrasing and in-appropriate behaviours, causes bad financial decisions to be made. Originally seen as a a breath of fresh air, but now is perceived as past it, - resting too long on her laurels. Notwithstanding, retains a hint of her original attraction. Has glaring faults of which She appears unaware....
- Generates extremes of opinion. Difficult to live without and just as impossible to live with...
Any similarity to the Duchess of York is purely co-incidental.
as per the Dog in Whacky Races etc - the noise he makes when you try starting him!
Jess was named pretty quickly after I got her, totally out of frustration. You know the feeling...
"I jess wanna get home!!" or "I jess wanna get this fixed before I end up with hypothermia!!"
She was always female. Cliches about her making off with all my money and time spring to mind all too easily, but the most fitting thing is that she looks great with her top off!!:p:D
My Forward Control is called Dorothy cos she looks like a big grey dinosaur. And my red Series 3 ute is tentatively called Red Rover (in some ways it's fitting as, like the old game, fixing up another one is like running the gauntlet). With names like those, though, it's looking like I'm running low on imagination.:p
I only really name them so I can say which one I've stored stuff in. Still sounds silly when you consider I live alone..... :D
Dan.
69 2A 88" pet4 (still in disguise), 68 2B FC pet6 (still resting quietly), plus 14 other parts/project cars (1xS2, 6xS2As, 7xS3s).
Pedro sorted out the name on my 101 - Chuck, as in Chuck Norris, coz nothing is tougher.
Recently though I seem to be calling it Chucky, as in this cute little fellow...

Seems quite fitting at times when I'm working on it, but either way works. :)
We have a 94 lse called Kellogs. Because it was full of golden coloured flakes.
The others don't have names, though my dad calls the p38 Hessie....:mad:
Sent from my GT-I9305T using AULRO mobile app
Well my forum name came from my rig
130's full name is George prince of darkness, We just call him George.
He got the name from a friend when the light switch failed and the lucas electrics jokes started. Same friends think the rig went to the dark side.
Fiat is a dainty girl so got the name felicity. Mother in law was a little worried when she was told I was playing under felicity's skirts :twisted:
My 130 is called Cletus. Youth group kids gave it the name after the hill billy on the Simpsons
I once has a Boss called Cletus... I could never face him without starting to giggle a bit and thinking of the tune....Quote:
