I think I've brought this up before (no I'm not bulleimic).

My orange beast needs a name. With boats it's bad luck not to name your vessel, so it might be the same with cars. I'm putting this out to the group, and any SERIOUS suggestions will be considered. Here's some piccies of the toy to inspire :-

I was thinking of the main characters name from Clockwork orange - anyone know it??

Only problem there is I didn't wanna focus TOO MUCH on the colour as hopefully I'm gonna change it soon!

That's cool. It's in the lead so far, but I will keep looking (no offence) 8)
It's also one of the nicer things anyone has said about my car!! :D

Bob, I've always found it useful to think of the car's sex and personality first, and then the name usually comes up afterwards, suiting the description.

It worked for my 68 matic, 73 moke and Mrcoomc 93 Cherry Rover.

First thing that came to mind was a Red Indian (Native American) cos of the colour and they were legendary for being light footed and very fast, the most famous of all I guess was Geronimo. How bout that? Although there was a young brave who was called Young Man Afraid of his Horses, but that might be a bit long!

Cheers

If you want Clockwork Orange related how 'bout:

'Stan' or 'Chief' or 'Tramp'

The colour orange related names; I'd go for 'Tang' you remember that orange powder drink :lol: Hey you could call it 'Tic Tac' orange tic tacs are my fav :wink:
