The car my father had when I was a child, an old black Ford Anglia, was called Stanley. No idea why.
Is this all because of the "Betsy" stuff on that other thread?
Yes, my first Fiesta was Miranda, "she who is worthy to be admired".
Her successor the XR2 was Ferdinand, to match.
I just decided that the R-reg Peugeot I'm driving now, if he hasn't actually been addressed as such over the years, is called Ariel. Ariel is already registered for the scrappage scheme.
The on-order GTi has to be Prospero, I suppose.
Except - my mother's Polo was Siegfried, because he was German, a brat, and went where he wanted irrespective of what anybody else thought he should be doing.
Which could open up a whole other menu for the new Golf....
Rolfe.
