Thats right they brake down!!
As soon as u name your car Daimie it will run like a dream, they did name a car "Herbie" and look how well he goes.

perhaps they just dont like their names? perhaps they are all named the same name and dont like their names being changed! maybe its a secret
conspiracy in the VW world between the cars where they are all called zoobafoobly and get really narky if you rename them.... perhaps all that dak-ing
and puttering is really their way of talking to us and telling us to stop calling them names!
*ahem* good morning... i think my imagination is a bit overactive today. |

That's why you shouldn't name your kombi until you've got to know him/her!

I don't know about changing names..... What if the old name doesn't suit the car and is just wrong??
Mine was originaly called 'Dudley' Ewwww (sorry but it just didn't suit) I think Belle is much more appropriate.
I named her cause it seemed to be the right thing to do........ |

Naming your VW is a must I reckon!!:thumb
Mine:
Bel the blue bell shaped '58 beetle
Dr Livingston the Savannah Beige Type 3 sqback, because he is definiotely a male and he has a safari type look about him reminding me of Africa (well
Savannah, dah) Didn't like African type names and Dr Li9vingston is so African:alien

Well, I think a VW has to have a name because they all have their own personality. When I knew I was buying mine I decided to call her Lorna and then
when I got her Lorna just was not right and it took a few months befor I found aname which sat just right and I finally settled on Lexi!

names... and sentience.. and aliens and psychoses
my lil bug has moods...
i'm sure it's more than the sum of its parts..
but then all VWs are spirited. one of the reasons I'm sure we drive them.
possibly the reason for their bizarre personality development is that when you pour enough feeling into a car, it starts to respond. *snif*
i'd like to introduce "Hoobie", or hoobs, a picture of whom can be seen on the left... after a spirit transplant, hoobs is now on the
second incarnation
seriously tho. i'm mad. but hoobs never breaks stride until it's convenient for us both (or if he's struck by lightning) and
that's only after giving me a few hints. hoobs has *choke.. slobber.. tear down cheek* never let me down...

I a sweet golden cocker spaniel called Nora so I love the name
She was a bit of a tart in the end (found her on her back on the nature strip), so when she became a mother of 5 our duck, Daffney, took over the role
of mother and kept putting the pups onto the nest she'd made. Nora just wanted to keep her role of spoilt house dog going and not take on
responsibility of parenthood
Why am I sharing this?????:jesus LOL
The name Nora brings back memories:sandrine |

Cool Stuff Jen.
Well I am a big believer in Naming my cars.
Of course Herbie is called Herbie, but David Evans in america has a Herbie replica and he calls it Penny, {go figure}
My 67 Kombie is called Zombie because it suits and rymes he has a pastey mottled complexion and definatley resembles something undead that roams the
earth looking for sustinance. {ok mostly cos it Rymes}
My previous cars were
Lucy,
an 82 model Mazda Luce rotary luxury car
Sven
my 82 model RX7
Thomas,
my Mazda RX2 Turbo coupe a name he had had for a long time before he came to live with me and it really did suit him.
Rodger
My Mazda RX4 coupe again this name was given to him by the police lady that owned him before me and every one refered to him as Rodger.
But I have also had cars that just wouldn't wear names, for some reason no name ever seemed appropriate.
I think its important to have a good relationship with your car and it helps keep them in good condition, it shows you care.

hey wombatone,
How about SPEEDY like the old 70s cartoon, Speed Buggy, where {if my memory serves me correctly} the teenagers would solve mysterys {very similar but
for legal reasons obviously very different to the scooby doo gang and Goober and the Ghost chasers}
But they had a little buggy with a full character and eyes in his headlights, he was cool, If I had a buggy I reckon thats a fitting name for him, do
you have a photo? that would help generate name ideas.
I found these links.

I've never named any of my VW's but I've always had Gumby on my rear vision mirror as a companion. Had the same Gumby since
1985.....and he hasn't broken down yet.
