I recently purchased, off this forum, a Red Disco TDI and now have this strange desire to differentiate between Land Rovers by naming them. Is this a further symptom?

Names that come to mind are,

Pride and Prejudice
Tommy and Tuppence
Harold and Maude
Noddy and Big Ears

Any other suggestions ???

HELP !!!!! Am I sane ???


Nurse....I need my meds NOW.

So long as you don't call it Thomas (the tank) ..... You'l be fine

I think it's a healthy thing to name your landy . A landy is part of the family and should be named . Everytime we need to go some where the kids will say " can we take Elmo " . they don't refer to it as the land rover or the disco but Elmo . Having a name helps you bond with your rig . Elmo has had a heap go wrong with him but i love him to bits and couldn't part with him at all . And i think because he has the name it makes it even harder to dislike him .

having the name hoodoo . how about you call them Voodoo and hooroo ? just a thought

yes our 07 puma is nicknamed the mortgage and thats the truth thats what we call it

and my 96 disco is called weasel

my 3yr old boy came up with pull pull ute for the s3 ute so that one stick and yes it adds personality

My Disco is called Kevin.(after an esky i had)

Well... You Can't call it a P. O .S or a Dunga as already been claimed
Land Rovers all have character and as many as there are they seem to have a personality with quirks as as some hand built cars can. They also can have an authentic charm in time

So if they have personality they seem to get a name.

It will grow in time

you name them once you get them....

Big red was named before we bought her and I had a bit of debate about what fozzy was going to be called so I put up a poll.....

you cant rename them once they've been named, If you dont name it and someone else does then thats what you get loaded with.

at times and at some places especially with some people in this crowd trying to use "the landrover" results in comment like, "Yeah ok, which Particular one are you talking about" which is made worse when 15 or so of us turn up at a get together and someone says something like "the landrover has a blown tail light" which usually results in at least half a dozen people saying "what again?" the other half saying "urm, could you be more specific about which one your talking about?"

I didn't name mine, because Land Rover already did that for me
