Writer's Block: Taking a trip with Mrs. Tibble

I have a ship theme. My first car was Argo (a 68 nova); The first car Jim and I bought together (an Accord) was called Dawn Treader; the Vista was named Blue Nose, and our current Vue is actually named Vingilot, but Jim has always called her green bean, and it is firmly stuck. Before the vue we had a smaller Saturn called Stella Luna.


I cannot remember ever naming a bicycle.

And our boat was not called after a car, though that thought appeals to me now. She was called Pretty Lazy. The family story goes that when my dad bought her, she was called Pretty Lady and he was too lazy to change more than one letter.

My work car is called Myrtle. A previous work car (they belong to my employer, not me) had been being used by a District Nurse called Myrtle who my Mum knows. So I said 'Oh - I've got Myrtle's car now!' For Mum to here it as 'a Myrtle car' and think it must be the colour, or make, and be somewhat confused.

Not only did that car become Myrtle - but so did subsequent ones.

My daughter's car is called Po. She is a Citroen C3 - so C3PO...

my first car, a no-frills 89' civic, was named cedric, cos he was such a finicky car. needed his oil changed at 3,000miles, or don't you forget miss! he got stolen and stripped =(.

i forgot what my 2nd car was named.

my current car, a 2001 civic's real name is jeannette, but everyone calls her the "flu-mobile" as our license plate is FLU.
