Andy: I note that your cars have names. I purchase from UK several years ago my
YB sedan. It came with a name "Plum". Friends that have bought cars in the UK
also found that the cars had names. Although not unheard of, it is not my
experience for us Yanks to name our cars , at least not in my area. Maybe this
is a new thread, but I am curious if this is a regional thing. When I mean
names, I mean real names like yours, not the names that are slang or worse, the
things we call our cars when they are driving us nuts.
