Its got to be a TDi. long live Diesel.


Hi Bernie.

Well I call her Miranda just because I love the name Miranda and its a pretty unusual name.

Regards.

Rod.:D

[jamesetta]

well .. its Jamesetta.........I have been a long time (25yrs+ )fan of Etta James......I discovered that her christian name was Jamesetta and she split it for her stage name ..........

and as I love the name for a rangey the new bob is J2.........

[jamesetta]

ps ...my wife has another name for the two Jamesettas......

.........its not tthe "other women"

[Huey]

All my landrovers have been Lucy making this 90 Lucy 3 but officially the range rovers mine and thats Roxanne, Lucy 1 was the best Series 3 109 pick up with a 3. something BMC diesal engine! Could sit at 80 mph in overdrive and annoy all the reps in their Cavaleirs (it was a while ago). It seized after doing Windermere to Beverley in under 3 hours:( . Ploughing Sunday so no fun:( .

[Mogwyth]

Fluffy, my 12 yr old daughter named her so because it's white like a soft summer cloud or a winter snow drift, she's bit of a poet. My wife reckons it's more like scruffy:D:D:D:D.

[tycroes48]

Mine`s called Rusty. Enough said !!!!

[kbraidwood]

What do i call mine???.................I can think of a few off hand........but theyre not really suitable for posting here..........:behead: currently its its been literally off the road more than on it..........anyone wanna buy a 109????..........but for the sake of the forum ill call it the Green Goblin!!!!......cause it gobbles fuel like its goin outa style!!!!

[Ye110w]

Well, it was easy before. The Land Rover was called the Land Rover, because we only had the one. Then someone decided that two would be better (save me from getting a swearing from Mrs Ye110w for bending it at NorTrak!), and the green90 arrived. So, the first one generally gets called the 110 ('cos it's a 110 (and it's ye110w)), and the other get's called the 90 ('cos it's a 90).

Then again, the 110 is actually Mrs Ye110w's, so it's "hers" and the 90 is mine, so gets called "mine". Unless you are Mrs Ye110w, the reverse the above! (Replacing "hers" with "his"):rolleyes: .

But the 90 is also becoming known as "Klunk", due to the noise from the gear box shaft. And I think that Jamesetta thinks it should be "yello going green", and Geo reckons something to do with Banana Custard......

Ever wish you hadn't asked?:D

[rod at aberdeen]

Hey cool keep em coming.

Steve that funny Julie calls mine the my other woman. Its also been know as the Thing when I parked it outside and was asked whats that thing. last week she was know as heap of S**t and Cow and other not so nice names. Now she is back to Miranda. :D

Ross that was some descripition but we get it now and its cool. Easy all.:D

[Big Sandy]

Well...the SIIa was 'The Maggie'...( she was an auld puffer) and the current III is 'The Big Yin'... It's limestone from original, and looks bigger than it should cos of the colour.

The SIII petrol was 'the little doll'....'cos it was!...the SII was 'Crusty'...again, 'cos it was.... :D

Dad's SII was 'Crunchy'.... Gearbox problems there.... :D

[dakar_man]

I have long pondered over a good name for the Dakar, was going to be blue thunder for a while but thats more than a little corny.


Just out of interest, any suggestions? (polite ones prefereably!)

No Nortrak again this week, still away.

Ian

[jamesetta]

Dakar......family discussion........and it should be called ......Noami....a model that enjoys getting her picture taken.....and she has fallen over several times and needed a hand up .???????......Lol....:snhnsn:

[TheGurkha]

The military is The Gurkha and the white 300 TDi is The Thunderchief (spelled/written that way) from the Motorhead song 'Ridin' With The Driver".

[Stumpy Doofleer]

My blue 90 is called Roxy because the reg has RXI at the start and for no other reason, was going to call it Rocky, but Roxy fits better I think.

[Backs4more]

Mine is called Poppy thanks to my four year old. Naturally it was called poppy due to the red colour. Come Rememberence Day I was thinking of adding real ones...but we shall see.

At least she did not name it bloody Tinky Winky!!

[Dave Sumner]

My wife named ours Roderick cos it sounds posh! I call it the green mean machine or something rude if it breaks!!:D

[etsdit]

Betsy!

[rod at aberdeen]

My wife named ours Roderick cos it sounds posh!

Cool Name mate mind you Iv never been called posh.

Rod.:D

[mike k]

Mines called "lil' landie" because she's smaller than the disco, which is called 'The disco' original or what.....

[Lacy]

Mines called 'Rumbly' 'cos that's what the previous owner called him........and it's unlucky to change a cars name.......apparently :rolleyes:

[Dave-H]

My previous one was called "Becky" as the reg number ended BEC.
Not come up with a name for the new one yet.

[JamesD]

morags called... morag! big butch lady - big is beautiful!

[big.stu]

All of my cars have been known as 'The Beast' (with the exception of the mini, which could never be classed as a beast) - making the Lightweight 'The Beast III'.

On the other hand, Joshua (nearly three) calls it 'Brum' and Emma (six) just calls it cool :)

SWMBO rarely refers to it at all except when telling people that I waited for her to be away on a study week and then went out and bought a Land Rover - which trumped the husband of one of her friends on the course who had had Sky Plus installed during a study week :)

[Mudspanker]

Mine used to be called 'Sooty' because it was a TD - the name has stuck even though it is now 200 TDi

[Hubber]

All my trucks up until 6 years ago were never given names except may the beast however when my first granson was old enough to talk, he called it the PAPA truck and its struck, so every one is now the PAPA truck and we have the name on the back door :rolleyes: now how sad is that :o

[jamesetta]

so Hubber....its not a..." Babe magnet":cheesey:

[charliedenny]

I call Her the beast my mates call Her my mistress (due to the money I try not to spend on her!)
just aquired a rusty justy with a broken piston to try to offset the cost of fuel.

[bartezz]

Well my 96n 300Tdi Disco is called Hamish. Seems to fit with my new country life in Scotland and so far both guys that have worked on him are called Hamish so why not! :)

[Sir Lostalot]

Mines called "Veronica" Ronnie for short boy girl dual character thing going:o :rolleyes: , also since the original meaning of Veronica is “Vera Icon” or “true relic” so it fit's the Land Rovers to a T.:D

[Fish13]

Mine are a Series III called 'The Landy' - imaginative.
A RR 'In Vogue' - doesn't have a name as it's a huge secret rebuild present for my father and therefore is refered to in low tones as the 'you know, the thingy'
And a Vogue SE 3.5EFI refered to by the wife as the 'big brown chocolate love' on account of it's being brown I guess.

[rusty_wingnut]

mines called Derek after a bizzare naming session whilst drunk.

[Abu]

Mine is (WAS) Stinky.... thus the name:D

Now it smells of sweet sweet lavender....does it hell:D:rolleyes:

[wolf_extreme4x4]

During a camping trip being very drunk my mate was staring at the tyres on my hicap and mumbled "general grabber.......sounds like some sort or military dictator to me" so from then on it became known as The General.

The series 3 that im trying to get ready for MOT is simply called "bloody thing" because im fed up with it.
The series 2A hasnt got a name yet because its missing a lot of bits and is going to be made into a V8 trialler when i have the time so i will name it when its finished.
