Have you named your Landy? If so... What and Why?... I've not named mine yet, like the idea, but not entirely sure why. For me, I think it'll mostly be the fact I've put so much time in to her that she feels very special and deserves a status greater than just 'a car'. Bit weird maybe...

My latest one is called Dixie the Disco, partly because it's our tradition and partly because her reg no. is DB-941-DX;

Previous ones have been called Dora, Daisy II & III, Disco Duck, Dusty, Rudy (red colour), T62, Françoise (she was a very sophisticated DII ES) and Lexie the LR Def.

And I also think it's sad!

My 110 was called Scratchy - I was thinking of buying it (a beat-up yellow truck cab) and saw a post on here where someone was complaining about Scratchy lanes. It stuck.

My SII is called Itchy, kinda follwed on.

I thought if you named them then you cant eat them? Bit like pets etc?
It has to be safer just in case you get peckish?
I named mine BUG, Big Ugly + Grey and LUG Little Ugly + Grey.

Mine is the Amphermiser. Long story but basically, it's because she is an amphibious vehicle now.

Mine's called Euphorbie(4) simply because the man in the dealership where I used to go to for all my Landys, used to say, in a heavily accented voice, 'yu4be4' whenever I went to collect it!

I have a green 200 which I call the Green Hornet and a red td5 which I call the Green Hornet just to save confusion, I used to have a blue 300 auto which I called the Green Hornet. I also call them all F**kin P*xy heap of S**t sometimes normally when I've burned/cut myself working on them.
