"pet" names for your vw
as i sit here and look out over the windswept dust bowl that used to be my paddock, i was just wondering, is it me or do more of us have pet names for
our vw's? and if so, why and how did they come about? (i know, i need to get a life or it has to rain)
My current daily driver is a 1975 kombi called "Ned" but that is because it's number plate used to be NED 70H which for the dyslexic is holden
spelt backwards,(and that in itself is another tale). Prior to that was "Bert" the beetle (a 68 bug) and i am currently eyeing off a 1970 vw which
looks very much like "Nancy"....
yes it's ok, the men in white coats have been alerted and are at this moment roaring up the dusty rd, but am i the only one?
i plan to live forever.....so far so good.

Well we named our kombi 'Winky' cause it has 2 different blinkers on the front and well...... we just came up with the name Winky. I think it suits
it. |

My first one was called Vernonica and she was a beauty
Did nothing to it besides get the valves ......?fixed ? in those days I was even more ignorant about cars than what I am now.She was white with a lime
green bonnet and just beautiful. Used to travel between South Grafton and Coffs Harbour every weekend and don't remember once ever checking the
oil.
My current VW some 23 years later is Vern and has a much easier life and is much better looked after. |

boris is red, doris is purple
only thing is doris sounds like a v8 and is meant to be a girl, boris sounds like your usual dak dak and is supposed to be a male... maybe doris is on
hormones

i need a glove box lid but apparently they are as rare as rocking horse Shit
Other than that I just have to replace hood lining,get the front seats reupholstered and he is done.
Oh and he has to go the "rack" to get a crease taken out ?
I don't know much about that......the nice man at the panel Shop will call me when he is ready to do it. All I know is that he scraps his tyre on the
mud guard when turning left under brakes and having a full tank of petrol doesn't help |

well, surprise surprise, my little bundle of joy is Bertie Beetle. When dad bought it about 5 years ago we named i tBertie because it was a
bluish-green, the same colour as the chocolate version's wrapper. We name all of the cars in our household now, its a bit lame, but it makes it easy
to know who has what car.
Bertie Beetle - 1962beetle
Frankie - 2000 Ford Festiva
gary - 2003 Hyundai Getz
'The Phantom' - 2003 purple Ford XR-6
plus, we used to have
Vinnie - 87 nissan pulsar vector
and
Mario - 2000 Mitsubishi Magna Altera
My bedroom also has padded walls.
oooh, medication time. :bounce

my 68 is named cherry, partly because shes red and partly because theres a cute cherry sticker on the back.
tho i sometimes call her b*tch when she deserves it. :P
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.
