No worries- thanks for persevering!

I'd love to know how the song goes that your daugher sings about Rusty Toilet...!



To the tune of twinkle twinkle little star..........

Twinkle twinkle chocolate bar,
Daddy drives a rusty car,
Pull the handle,Pull the choke,
Off we go with a puff of smoke,
Twinkle twinkle chocolate bar,
Daddy drives a rusty car.

She likes to change it to "rusty toilet car" every now and again as well.

My Purple City E is Called Luna - I'm really not too sure why, she was named it before the Harry Potter books so it's not from there before anyone says anything, I reckon JK Rowling used my cars name! =] The reg end in ELU so could of come from there and it was always a long running joke that it was Luna-tic! She's been called it right from the day I bought her, the name just sort of stuck!

The Clubby Estate is called Doris, named after her late owner and because the name suited the era of the car. She was loved by her old owner and was used to deliver the local papers and drove the car into her 80's until she couldn't drive anymore.

Lemmy - named after Lemmy Kilminster, lead singer of Motorhead who had the massive hit "The Ace of Spades", as what's on Lemmy's roof (until today!).

It was a damned fine suggestion from Juju, thus forming a strange bond between them.

"Mr Bridger" - he has a sticker in the rear window saying "on a mission from Mr Bridger" (the old guy from The Italian Job) so the name stuck.

Mine are called Min, Merri, Minki, Maggi & Mandi

Min was my first car and first Mini so she was just given that name. Merri is my woody and is short for Merriennes which was the place we were staying at in Guernsey where I bought her from. Minki is my pink mini so I combined those 2 words to get a Minki. Maggi is my shorty and was named so because I thought I would follow the tradition on a name beginning with 'M'. Mandi is my van and is a sort of combination of the 2 word mini and van a Mandi =]
