My '85 Westy is named Weeping Willow (sometimes only Willow, LOL) and
has the license plate, WPNWILO.

My '84 7 passenger used to be named Mongo but when my grandson asked why
I had two Vanagons I told him the 7 pass was my work horse.  It's been
called Horse ever since.  I even thought about changing it to Horst as
the grandson wouldn't catch the difference.
