Our old arles blue 200Tdi 90 was called Old Blue
The arles blue 300Tdi 90 was called Big Blue The red 300Tdi 90 was called Big Red The puma is called Big Black Very original naming structure
Although I did own 'The Hoffmobile' for a while (named after the numberplate! Ended in HOF). Older than 'Big Blue but newer than Old Blue' wasn't as catchy... |

Same here,
Old Discovery is called Betty-Sue, and the Defender is called Ute. You have to name your pride and joy. Glyn  |

If I only owned one landie I wouldn't name it. It would just get called "The Land Rover"
But, seeing as I have 5, they are all named. You have to be able to easily distinguish between them. No names would mean saying in the Series 1, or in the 100inch, or in the Command Reconn etc etc....may as well name them in that case |
