"and I�m wondering if there is a process used for
christening your ride.   I have seen vans and busses called Horst, Matilda,
Blue, Emma and other names and I�m curious."

Hi Thomas, sounds like you've definitely go t the spirit!
I named my van from the time and effort spent involved in upgrading and
maintaining it, and what its like to go on adventures in it. It has resulted
in being the fruit of my passion for the relationship that has developed
with it and those adventures.

Happy travels .. and upgrades ... and holidays. ;>) .. keep the VISA handy.
