Mines called 'Minty'. Last three letters of Reg are GUM, so 'Minty gum', and also 'mint' condition, and costs a 'mint'! Laughing An engine to TDi for!

my 110 dc is SN02 TTU so I've called it Snotty!


Ours is also called snotty....... but for a rather different reason.

Our was named snotty by our little one who (not being too good with colours at age 2 1/2 when we got her) decided she was the same colour as snot! (its Tonga green).

Once the fateful words had emerged from her mouth the name stuck.

I tend to use the three letters of the number plate, ergo SFF for the 80" however the 110's does not roll off the tongue so its just the 110 (well occasionally called Lorna as it was due to the sad demise of my mother which provided the funds to purchase it)

I have a friend who owned an S1 88" SXF 850 (STOLEN BY SOME THIEVING B'stard) which was called by him "Sexy Fart" and I have another mate with a 110 HiCAP called "Barney"

but "110" and "80" are the usual nomenclature! He who dies with the most toys wins Smile
