I am still toying with a few names! :?
Lemon (Because of the colour!) But poeple may think it is because it is a lemon!! :(
Or Christine after the Steve King Film as it would help if it put its self back together and I like the fact that in the film the car looked after the owner and took vengence on any person who damaged it!

Bit scary though! :shock:

Airforce 1 - car was already named this by andy walsingham and andy jones when i bought it, the old boy who had it beforehand used to be in the RAF and had put a load of additional gauges in + RAF stickers :D

my tc auto has been called christine ever since i stopped to get some cash from the cashpoint. when i got out of the car i left the engine runing+i thought i put it in neutral but when i came out of the bank she was 100 yards away . the worst bit was i had also left my mum sitting in the car as well. since then the car got the christine.

My marina is 'Purple Haze,' but she also very nearly became 'Christine,' but that was more to do with the hassle my parents gave me when they finally saw the car :D ok so she needs a paintjob.... :roll:

The MG Midget is 'Rosie' as she's red, and I think John called the Ital Vanilla Ice in the end. I think Marjorie would have been better though.. :)

:oops: I don`t know if i should be admitting this in public, but the Mumford is called Steve :roll: (this is from the previous owner mind, not me!)...but once something has a name you have to keep it going don`t you!?, the Van is called Vinnie for obvious reasons...it looked a bit rough round the edges, like Vinnie Jones, and of course it rhymes with Van...Vinnie the Van :lol: , as for the ST Coupe replica...well we will see :wink:
