  5. Mines called bob the bushcraft bus

    Its a play on the tla BOB meaning bug out bag and as hes being built as a vehicle to get me away from the madness that is modern life and closer to nature hes a buschcraft bus

    You really couldent give a girls name to a nato green bus with bull bars,spot lamps and all terrain tyres

    Bobs not like that at the moment but hes still undergoing surgery from when he was shelly

    Mine arrived wihout a name, and is still a neuter or genderless, I've never driven it, so have yet to be properly aquainted.

    I'm often heard calling it a Illegitimate child whilst working on it though ???
     
  7. Vinnie the Van lol

    went to look at a burt t25 then another t25 300 miles away and there was vinnie and we fell in love with him :) ...awe!!!!...though he is rather girlie now!!
     
  8. Our van is Melvyn. Dunno why. That's what the previous owner told us his name was. He lived in Australia before they had him, and started his life working at a childrens home. 8)
     
  9. My van is called Patches because of the weldng it's going to need. Not decided male or female.
     
  10. my reg starts noo, so its noo noo, and i thinks its a she. well she purrs like a kitten,
     
  11. The reg on ours starts VNP, I wanted to call it, Vanipy, or Vanipulation, duh only joshing ya, it's a female and it's called Punkin for a few reasons, one, the wonderful colour :D two, I called my daughter Punkin when she was little , so it's a nice memory name, three, Punkin and Pie for the trailer goes well together, four, the wife picked it and I had no say in the matter ! but I love it anyway ;D

    Mine is male, OSI after his rego OSI 537 & that's what his previous owners called him.
    The late,late bay is female, Wanda The White Wedge, also named by the previous owners.
    I like to stick with the name that previous owners have given a vehicle, if they haven't named it then it's up to me.

    Both of ours are guys..

    Gusbus comes from one of our cats, Gus so we called it Gusbus and Major the Westie comes from the Major Oak as we're not far from Sherwood Forest and we live in Notts!
     
  14. Mine is female & its called Milly not sure why that's what the original owners called her.
    My trailer is a eunuch called Vanilly after the disgraced 80's pop band & because it goes well with Milly.
