Mine is called "Zee-Rover"



Translated from dutch this means "pirate". we named here so because after I owned a sailing boat and travelled in it for 20 years I sold the boat and bought the Land Rover for our travels...

Cool Thumbs Up Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

Ours are

'my 90'

'the 100 inch'

'the Rangie'

No silly names. Hate 'em. Especially 'The Beast' which has to be the worst name ever for Land Rovers. Soooo last year. Whistle Whistle Rolling with laughter

My 109 is named SEB cos its Southern Electri...you get the picture. The 88 is called Siegfried...something about resurrection? the Mrs named it anyway. I have never felt the need to name the 110 to bes honest, it just hasn't developed any kind of noticeable character yet.

I think the names that people give their Land Rovers (or any cars really) says more about the character of the person than the vehicle. Darren

Despite what I said earlier, I've just remembered we did have one Land Rover that got a name Embarassed Embarassed

It was a Series 3 with the reg TYG xxxL Not sure when or why but around our Land Rover club and then at home it got affectionately known as Tyg (pronounced Tig). Still refer to it as that now, when reminiscing ! Whistle Very Happy

The kids tended to pick names based on the registration numbers, however the 110 got christened Max Headroom after car park barrier signs rather than the TV character.

It fits quite well with the letters on the plate which are MXH Cool John

Big Black for me... following in the footsteps of Old Blue (a blue 200Tdi 90), Big Red (a red 300Tdi 90) and Big Blue (a.. wait for it, blue 300Tdi 90).

Highly original!
