With your history Neil you've probably got a lot more diodes tucked away there than you're letting on tongue

My current Ink Black 20VT6 is called "Black Betty" which came to us via the song that includes the lyrics, "Oh Oh, Black Betty, bam a lam."

Who remembers the song?

Seems appropriate anyway. :-)

I remember it well, it was after all pretty catchy at the time.
Actually, I suspect it was one of the first 45's I bought as a 11 year old teenager (circa 1977?)!

Yep but much more interesting would have been the lyrics that Mrs Pigman used at Pete when she found out he had acquired another coop laugh

No name really. Mine has just been called "The FIAT"

Names for other cars I have owned were;
The Fiesta
The Ghia
The RS
The Lancia
The CRX
The Kit
The FIAT
The FIAT

Pretty unimaginative. Maybe a generation thing as my old man had "Betsy" etc

Only includes cars I wanted to buy, not had to buy (family vehicles)

Mine was nameless- until last year.

When, after I thought she was broken beyond repair-she spent time at FCSS being fixed and brought back to life- and she took on the title The Red Special - aka TRS.

Now for some driving adventures in her in 2018!

My friends and family call mine "The WAG" (as in footballers wife). It fits really. Good looking, sexy, racey ,but demanding, expensive tastes and throws regular tantrums.
