my superbug is simply "Project X" at the moment, because you need a really good imagination to see the finished result it's in that much of a mess at the moment.
the yellow baja I recently picked up is earning a few undescribable names at the moment, such as #$%&!!! 😀
If it aint broke,
Make it go faster!!
I have a 76 camper called Colonel Mustard because he's Keen's Hot English in colour, and a 63 single cab ute called swampy, because thats where i think he's been since he was last registered in 1982
I used to have a morris 1100 called...
wait for it....
"Chuck Morris"

We call ours Buzz, hence the user name.
My wife (then girl friend) painted it bright yellow and thought that it resembled a bee.
Now it is mine and i have carried on the name.

they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs
Camper is Sally (from the rego).

Glad other people name their cars as per their number plates.
Dads first VW was Piffy - No. Plate letters were PFY
Dads Second VW was New for Word - No. Plate letters were NFW. And it was bought as a work car.
My first beetle was Herbie 1 - Okay I was young!
My first fastie was - wait for it - Herbie 2. There is nothing I can say except - I was young and obviously lacking in imagination.
Current fastie is Bethany. Was just driving around thinking of names and it just stuck when we got to Bethany.
If you can't laugh at yourself you can't laugh at anyone else! Because life is to short not to LAUGH
Our Double Yellow NB is called Mello.The 64 Beetle is Vera and the 56 Type 4 engine beast is Ferocious(I call it IVOCUS) VW poeple seem to have a family member type afinity with car naming.Some time back I was having a discussion with a lady who owned a Ford Fairmont.During the chat I referred to her car as a Falcon-got my head bitten and told it was not a Falcon-it's a Fairmont.I have a new BA XR6 ute which I refer to as the "ute".My brother in law has one of those older XR6 cars which is not a Falcon-it's "the XR6".Piss weak I reckon-at least let it have it's own butch sounding name.
a mate used to have a blue bluebird which was a POS, so it got called the BlueTurd, but then he replaced it with a rusty brown Bluebird, so it got called the TurdBird. If he ever got a 3rd one we were going to cut out the middle man and call it the TurdTurd.

My NB Cabrio is called Veronica, as in Veronica Volkswagen. She is a girl, she is feminine and she is cute (a lot like me !!!!!!😉 ). My 65 beetle which is waiting for a restoration is called Beatrice because she is old fashioned and regal. My first beetle was I was 16 was called Herbie ..... no idea why ..... It was blue, BUT it did have a mind of it's own ..... sometimes it would be nice and sometimes it would become moody and misbehave ..... My herbie was a boy !!!!

Well my '76 was a yellow beetle, but as I went to Uni in Canberra and my family was in Brisbane I had to drive the distance a few times per year. Bets tiem I did was just on 12 1/2 hours on the Newell, and as I was (read was) a runner in school I thought that it was a good middle distance (well Perth is Long Distance) run, so Sebastian (as in Sebatian Coe the UK runner). Got shortened to Seb though most times. I believe he is still running around Brisbane. Sold him back in 95 🙁

Zak is my buggy's name, that's what his number plate says...ZKK...yeah, I know it sounds a bit lame, it's the wife's tradition. Besides, she wouldn't let me buy number plates with anything cool on them. Probly just as well too after all the money Zak has cost us.
We've also got a swift called Elliot, coz his plate is TSL. 😉
and no my wife is not an english teacher....

My beetle is Jezebel. Her looks seduced me, and then she ended up being a bitch and costing me alot of money, after having payed alot of money to circumvent paying alot of money. Cool?
Reality leaves alot to the Imagination
