Names for cars and motobikes
Bush Tucker Man:
The XKR is 'the Cat', or 'Growler' as they (for some reason) call the icon on the badge
The C-Max is either 'Blue Van', or 'Van Morrison' (wasn't my choice of motor!)
Sadly the 110 departed in February, after years of nagging (bringing an end to 15+ years of landy ownership), but that was generally 'the truck'

Nice to see you are still hanging around on here Richard even though the 110 departed. I left the throng for 6 months and bought an MGB GT but I came to my senses and now have a little modified Jimny.
Range Rover Blues:
Blue is called blue 'cos it's blue. The wife's TDi is "chuugaboom" after the car in wacky races. My LSE doesn't really have a name.
I called my firsat car otl after its' registration and my second (another Escort) was "the shed", it was!
My cavlaier was "eyore", 1.7 N/A diesel, not quick off the mark.
My Micra, noddy car. Well have you looked at one?
the wife's F|iesta was "Dennis" (the menace).

The wife of one of my ex-collegues had a Fiesta, she called it.. 'Esther' (not because it had a shiney grill (ie; big teeth), but because it rhymed.

Yes, I still pop in every so often, to have a look around, & still ride down past the end of your estate a couple of times per week (if you still live there) & run around the area between where I live & Wakefield
Please don't tell me it was a GT-V8, if so.....Damn!!!!, I missed it.
By The Way;
Did you see the little car-show up on Heath Common a fortnight ago?, up by 'The Kings Arms'?
I've got some photos, & have added them to my'www' (take the option of 'newest')
Terranger:
I call mine Mikey, cos the last 3 letters are MKE.
He's a temperate little git at times, (stopping suddenly and refusing to move), and i've recently painted it red and black.., in the same vein as Dennis the Menace, Minnie the Minx, (red and black jumper).
When he kicks off (it's a V8) he's loud and brash.
But he's a lot of fun to be with.
How sad am i, eh?
