[Mgs] naming cars (was MGB likes to lay a patch)

[Eric Erickson]

I named my primrose '68 'B... Primrose!  Mainly because I used to get  
so many comments that a pale yellow was a wussy colour for a wannabe  
race car, so I gave it a wussy name!  Or maybe because that was her  
colour.

Then I went and got it painted so its name had to change to... Blue.

No real imagination there and it might be more reasonable if I had  
more than one and I needed to differentiate between them, but hell,  
no-one hears those names except the car and I in those quiet times  
when she needs that encouragement.

I usually utter the name in sentences like:  "Come on you Blue  
bastard - FASTER!"

Hmmm, maybe the name has always been a two part one after all!
