How did you come up with the name of your car?
This is a hard one.
My Discovery is called Big Blue.
Reason?
Apart from its big and blue (Marsielles blue, some call it green..IDIOTS) my kids were into Finding Nemo at the time and thats what the fishys called the ocean so it fitted with them. They only refer to it as Big Blue now.
How did you lot come up with the name for your cars??
Was it a long lost love, a play on words from its number plate??
(this should be interesting)
:D
-
mine has different names depending on how it behaves
even when its in a good mood, the words i use are derogatory cos i know something bad is going to happen sooner or later
but no it doesnt have a name other than that big black thing as my inlaws call it
-
i came up with OLD JOE after my old boss who died a few years ago he got me into land rovers when i was 13 and i always said that when i get a landy it would be named after him in memory of him.
he taught me about the countryside and fencing and a lot of things it was like having 3 dads my real dad taught me about my stepdad well he is my stepdad and joe taught me metal work tractor driving so much and his philosphies i use to this day and if i have kids they will be passed down to them as well.
Trouble old joe is so much like him stubborn built like an ox a nd will go on forever.
Dazza and old joe :( :twisted: :D
-
ours is commonly known as "THE LANDIE", or as the mother in law
puts it when are you getting rid of the SKIP, as to which i reply you just wouldnt understand in your perfect clean world, would love to strap her in and take her though rather deep muddy water with the window open :twisted: :twisted:
-
well theres reece the 90 (A207RYS) & my road car is affectionaly known as the purple monster 8)
-
With a reg ending in PXE, it was quite imposed on us :lol: :lol:
-
The Spanish Inquisition?
Because no-one expects it. Julie's a Python fan you see, and I never tire of that pained expression as the colour drains from the face of a driver who failed to notice 2 TONNES of Rangie coming his/her way before doing something b****y stupid right in front of it. I swear once a guy in a Porche Boxter actually c****ed himself as he disappeared from view beneath the bonnet. :lol:
-
T'old lass is T'old lass because, well, she's an old lass really. And one day she might get treated like one, but that wont be any time soon!! :lol:
-
TYSON was named buy his god farther lee celtic after an apeal for a name. it fits well because its "big black and whines a lot" :(bigsmile):
-
I never give mine a name.
It is an item that I use to go to work and sometimes use to go for a spin.
It's not a car.
It's not a van.
It's not a Landrover.
I call it a Truck :wink:

Well was called the beast by my friends but then after a mounth and started to spend some cash on getting things put straight it became known as the money pit as I cn throw money at it and it seems to have no effect
:lol:
-
Thanks for the mention Dave Hope little Tyson is well.. :wink:
My Discovery is yet to get a name we have tried a few but none seem to fit I want to call it ARIAN My son tells me this is silver in Welsh (I understand the basics but not all welsh wife and kids are fluent )but the wife calls it the disco and the Kids just call it Dads car.. :D
However we do have a caravan caled Burt (he's an Abbey Lancaster) :wink:
-

Land Rover named it for me.............. Discovery :wink:
It's a big lump of metal (so the wife keeps telling me), not a pet :lol:
-
When we fitted the snorkel to it Lizzy thought it looked a bit like the Banana Splits character Snorkly.
So that's how she got her name.
Just need some big shades for her now :)
Ed
-
Put some of that dark window shading on a pair of the spots :wink:
-
I think Snorkly has purple spots as well.......
I'm not going that far.
I'm looking out for an Argocat at the right price though :)

The Jimny is called 'JEG the Goat' - mainly because JEG forms the reg and is also a nickname for my uncle, and the Goat - obvious really because it will climb anything!
The 90 on the other hand is short of a name - I've called it 'terrapin' for now as it forms part of the reg again. Any suggestions? :)
-
I just call my range rover TANK...and why...
because its fun to drive...no power steering...nice little towncar :twisted:

Has also been known as the death bus by my workmates from one certain trip up the M69 :shock:
She will be known as Ruby the Purple Peril once my wife has passed her test :wink: :lol:

She used to be known a Gerti (as in Dirty) but we had a think recently and decided that a more fitting name would be Charity (as in Case :D ).

The Disco is just called "Stickers", three guesses why!!! :-k
The Rangie is called "Rex" after Rex Hunt, the Oz bloke who does the fishing on H&L. He calls himself the Breaded Burbler and as the Rangie a bullbar (the beard) and the V8 does all the burbling then Rex seemed to fit. :(mad):
-
My surf's called the Hippo :shock: :shock: :shock:
She's big,
She consumes veg (oil)
She loves wallowing in mud
Trev
-
She's offically called the " Millennium Falcon"
She's big and white, and she was designed under the code 'Falcon'
When HWMBO first saw her he said 'you got here in that thing?'
I replied with 'look kid, she may not look good but she's got it where counts. She did the Tesco shop run in under 5 par secs'
She rattles, leaks and has a worrying tendancy to 'smoke' in unusual places....
Most used phrase when driving is 'Come on girl you can do it!' and 'stick together'
HWMBO has been known on a few occasions to speak 'Chewwie'
- well ok scream like a girl - when bits fly off her at speed :twisted:
The 8 year old can often be heard saying 'landrover broken is' in a sage yoda like way
The 6 year is constantly saying 'How rude' when ever we get over taken by a frustrated Mondeo driver.
If it were'nt for hieght restrictions i'd have a gun turret :(bigwicked):

Turtle was named due to
1, Its Green (ignore the white roof :? )
2, Its slow
3, Has a hard top
simple :D

The 90 is called Shorty - well she just is !
The series 3 Flora - 'FLOoR Accelerator' to get out of the mud.
