Wilfman Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Mine was nicknamed “Brum” by my eldest sons, at the time, girlfriend. As most of you know, Brum is a kids TV programme featuring a two seater yellow car with a face..... I was less than amused and now the name appears to have stuck as the wife hates the car and knows the name annoys me!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kingster Posted June 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2018 The first passenger in my car after the build was my mate Mick. At the time Mick had recently been diagnosed with MND (or ALS as the Mercans call it) - but I call it 'worst nightmare syndrome'. Anyway - I took Mick out for a run and at the end he looked up at me and said - "thanks Chris, it's been a while since I've had something to smile about - and that really did make me smile" I was well chuffed that he'd enjoyed the blat and he said "so, what do you call her?" I replied "I've not got a name - any suggestions?" - to which he pondered a bit and replied "Scarlet". So, Scarlet it is - in memory of my great mate Mick who sadly passed away just before Xmas last year. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker_Bob Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 One of my favourite places and also the location of my favourite whiskey is the western Isles of Scotland and more specifically one very small island famed for its Peaty whiskey. Therefore being a Westy, “Islay” seemed to fit the bill! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
