Mine's named Mr. Pistachio after I've drove in the parking at home for the first time and my roomie was there. She told me ''dude your van so nice, it looks like a big Pistachio and the fog lights looks like an old man little reading glasses''

My recently sold L300 was named Blue Gene because my family always seemed to buy blue vehicles so I figure blue must've been in the genes. Blue Gene was blue over silver.
My new L400 I am calling "Zevra". When I announced on CrackBook that I had sold my L300, one of my friends asked what I was going to do all my wild-ass offroading in now? I wanted something of a safariesque name and Zebra stripes appear on a lot of safari type vehicles. "Zevra" is Portugese meaning, yes, "wild ass"! So I am going for an African Surf type motife as we embark on our Zevra Surfari... :-D

I don't have a name for mine but one daughter calls it the paedo bus and says all its short of is a sign on the side saying free candy :shock: (I take it she doesn't like it).
The other daughter calls it the ugly bus, (this one doesn't like being seen in it neither) and my mate calls it Deirdie instead of Deli.
I think I prefer to just call it the Deli.

I was told that free candy doesn't entice the children anymore and that I should write "free puppies" on the back of mine. :shock:

I know our name is not unique but we call our the Arctic Turtle. Our van can visit the arctic circle any time it wants to as it is less than a days drive from home.
I want this logo (Kame - Japanese for Turtle) put on the side of our van.
