Naming cars?

When I was in the Air Farce...er....Force, stationed in England, at the radar shack someof us techs and the controllers all had names for our vehicles, one guy had a Rover that was named Black Bart, I had, first a 1951 Austin A30, twas the Blue Goose, and if you saw the car, you'd know why, then after the Goose died, I had a Vauxhal that was known as Vladimir, not sure why, but one guy named it and it stuck.

Haven't named the Barracuda......yet....
