After trying several out, mine's become "the big one", since the A2 is now "the little one".
All the family now say "the big one?" first 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...

I've named all of mine.

My 110 is "The 110".
My 90 is "My 90"
Her 90 is "Your 90"
The trialer is "The trialer"
And the racing/rallying one is called "The racer".

1986 Defender 90 300 Tdi HT Galway Green
Well I've got a 1986 90 project waiting to be started. .......hopefully if I can remain injury and sickness free.
Last three letters are SHG. ...so it's called Shaggy.
But I want to paint the 90 sandglow yellow and try and recreate a 90 camel trophy.
So in time it may require a name change to camel sh*gger.

For now, it's changed to "The Car" because the other one is buried in snow. Tell someone you love them today because life is short.

Looks like you use the same naming system as us
The red 110
The black 110
The 90
And we used to have The Hybrid

My last one, as previously mentioned, was called Michael, after Michael Palin, because both are fun and go everywhere.

Still connected to the above, my latest toy is called Fogg, after Jules Vernes' character, Phileas Fogg from Around The World In Eighty Days, which of course Michael Palin did as well.

Mine is called "Machito"

Literaly little "macho" (is there any translation needed anyways ?), it's a common name in Latin America for... oh, well, for old school FJ40s. But believe me when they deal with modifying them they know their business...

Here's one example :



So I found fair to name mine in respect to those nicely crafted machines.

Oh and obviously, she named it... guess where she's from ? Wink Chris
