One of mine's called "the shitheap"

(so named because when I told the Leader of the Opposition about my latest purchase, she said
 "oh no, not another shitheap old Holden  Roll Eyes")

The other's called "the baitwagon"...

some of my uninspiring car/bike names.

Dayo the mighty 'deo

The Doctor, DRZ400

Velo - pushbike

so at any given time I get around, by the deo, the doctor or the velo.

past includes

Suzy, GSX100

Betty, Bedford Van

I never named the wagon.. it was only ever "the wagon"

plus other nameless cars, who simply shall remain nameless.

Cheers

Ed

you assume correctly, Paul

however, the "baitwagon" could possibly have a magical allure to very young ladies...


(if they were blind, stupid, and had no sense of smell)


(of course, the above comment refers to the drivers issues; certainly not the "baitwagon's")

I wondered the same thing in 2004.

Have a look at this board for plenty of responses:  http://fefcholden.org.au/forum/index.php/topic,4651.0.html

Makes for some good reading.

My new Honda Accord is called Fenry - as in Fenry Honda  (Henry Fonda).  Yeah, I know it's bad, but what else can you do with a Honda?  Roll Eyes
