I call my axe the "stupid piece of brass pipe" ..... ;^)

Naming Vanagons/Westys?

I rarely say my Westy's name aloud (Jaco) though I often referred,
aloud, to my sky blue Ford Courier as the "Blue Flame". (notice the
big honkin' Candy Apple Red flame(s):

The name Jaco is pretty accurate in my books, and is a term of
endearment, but I have also thought of it as "Wiggly" (in cross winds)
and a lady friend of mine calls it the "Vanagogo". Whatever. :^)

Neil.
