My wife has now named are bus She will be called daisy from now on. ? ?so how did your bus get its name
oh well, we haven't had the name one for a bit so i'll play but shorten the explaination. van is a champagne edition, Bollinger is a type of champagne, I like the tv programme ashes to ashes - gene called alex bollyknickers in that 'cos she was a posh tottie who would probably need a bottle of bolly before she dropped her knickers....... hence the van is called "the poo bus" I mean bollyknickers.
My kids named mine beauty due to the reg being bewt but I call it the Goonerbus due to its paint and me being a Gooner.
Before we even started looking for one, out of the blue I said "if we ever get a VW, we could call it Hattie" - goodness knows why! When we did start looking, and a purple bus with reg. HTT came up for sale, we had to buy it!!! (luckily it was in reasonable nick - I like to think common sense would have prevailed if it had been a wreck and not worth the money ...!).
Our bus was named "Dada's bus" by our children that grew up with her in Nigeria and Dubai Sadly our younger son, Daniel, died in a diving accident in the far east in 2011. We have decided to have the bus restored as a tribute to him, to be used by his Brother , Sister and the grand children, and of course us his parents. The bus is now named, and sign written "Dans Bus" on the front doors. Tony
I've got an prototype bay called Thurston, named after the singer from Sonic Youth- logic being that it's a 1969 Cali import and they did a song called Death Valley 1969 and Death Valley is in California. My boyfriend has a splitty called Franklin, he's also an import from a small town in North Carolina, which has a main street called Franklin Avenue. (the bus not the boyfriend) I've just bought a late bay super viking which was called Bertha when I bought it so the name is staying. It suits her as she's a big girl!
Ha it's the wife not me I wanted to call it scrappy after getting from the back of a scrap yard But the wife she always right.
