Like Kraft I don't normally give my cars name. The Yaris is called 'The Yaris', the Vectra 'The Vectra'

But this little baby is going to be a labour of love so it's getting a name.

But a bit like Pop Idol you have a chance to vote and no Rick Waller is not on the list.

Thanks in advance.
And thanks to Gurney and Canadian Bacon for the suggestions.

Van Diesel, because it's inspired. And do you really want to drive a 'Randy'?

I get the impression "Randy" was inspired by a certain musical artiste, Randy Van Warmer, so once a few engine mods have been done .......

Following on from this, I named my car earlier. Herr Dreier.

Not that I'll be refering to it as such, mind.

Scottie because it's cute.
'Mr. 3er'? Nice name.

Herr Dreier is very good. Just make sure you keep it straightened!
Another vote for Scottie, out of those three.

Mrs J was telling me that Scottie's ashes were shot into space.

Maybe I should name the van in his honour.
The other option is MSC (Mafia Staff Car) as it looks a bit underhand with the rear windows tinted Limo black.

I think Van Diesel is hard to beat as a name ...

I really should find the time to finish the interior. I had ideas of working on it one night last week but instead set up the DVD system and sat watching Top Gear.

Bloody comfy in the back of the Van you know.
