- How many SOLers have named cars? Some of ours are named, others just sort of referred to. My fiancee's 79 Midget is lovingly called "Biscuit" (guess what color the interior is), while my 68 MGB is si

- My white Sunbeam Alpine is named "Eddie the Eagle," in honour of Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards, the UK's only Olympic ski jumper (perhaps even the UK's only "alpine" sportsman, but I'm not sure of that)

- Well, my TR-6 has been 'lizbeth since about a week after I got her. My race car is just 'the green car' unless your talking to a friends 2 year old. Then it's 'Kermit' because of the colour. Never n

- Whenever a supposedly inamimate object (like our LBCs) show what can only be described as a personality it is human nature to give that object a name. Both of my LBCs have been bestowed with names; h

- Car names seems like a good topic to drive the brit-car traffic way up... My wife and I always name our cars, for whatever reason. The current crop: 1980 TR-8 - Gwendalyn ('cause it likes to be drive

- I have a friend, who liked my TR-6 'lizbeth, so much, he went out and bought one himself. (important point, 'lizbeth is named after Elizabeth II) His, however, needed a little bit of swork. And while

- We call the '65 Tiger "the rocket" and we call the '70 Datsun 2000 "the pocket rocket". With apologies I admit we call the Alpine "the donor" ;-).

- The '65 Tiger is called (what else?) "Tigger". My 3-1/2 year old calls it "Daddy's old broken car". Not for long! The engine's in, now I just have to point the oil filter lead in the right direction
