Be Excellent To Each Other

Em-air-duh.

The best car name is the Mazda 808 Estate . But that's cheating a bit.( It was only called the 808 down under, where it would be a station wagon rather than an estate.)

Renault Kadjar - Always makes me say goo goo to myself when I see them.

VW Toe Rag Touareg

Weird that as the Mazda 323 had a name 'Astina' down under rather than just the number.

I can't see one of these without saying internally, 'Ahhh, a Renault Khadgar's Whisker'. It's at the point now where I worry I might die if I don't obey the ritual.

EDIT - 'Khadgar's Whisker' is a collectable herb in WoW.

Reliant (bad) Scimitar (good).

The Interceptor is a great name, but in the flesh I don’ think it looked as appealing as the CV8. Looked kinda unballanced with a heavy looking back end. I was a passenger in a CV8 when I was a young teen and remember the acceleration pinned me to the seat.

There's a Jensen Interceptor still in daily use in and around Ramsey (my home town), hot damn that thing is fucking cool.

My dad had a couple of Scimitars.

I had a couple of scimitars too, god damn they were cheap.

Wasn't there a Renault Sharon, or something like that?

VW Sharan.

3l Vsomething too, weren't they?

Yup ford Essex V6.
I kept one of the engines and rebuilt it with 11:1 comp forged pistons, hi lift lumpy cams, holley 4 barrel, branch manifolds, steel timing gear etc etc. I'll be fairly surprised if I ever get the time to fit it to something

My bro-in-law had a Scimitar that he left with his pensioner dad when he was working out of the country. His dad used to grow horns and the red mist came down whenever HE drove it. Fibre glass body meant it didn’t rust when left unused and largely uncared for, for months at a time.

Bentley Bentayga for me. Just sounds ugly, but then the car itself is no looker.

Mondeo. Great car, deeply uninspiring name.

Renault Koleos. Sorry, sounds like a spinal condition.

Keith Chegwin

What? He's only just kicked it and they've named a car after him?

Ed Balls.

Sounds more like a digestive tract disorder to me.

Mitsubishi Carisma is a proper shit name.

Actually, Mitsubishi also came up with the Starion.

And when you think about it, the Volkswagen Golf and Polo are shit names too. You're just used to hearing them.

VW have a range of shit names: Caddy, Rabbit, Jetta, Passat, CC, Touareg, Touron. All wank.

Jetta is okay.

Edsel.

That's a good one. I'd also like to appreciate the Bedford Rascal (as a name)

Then why don’t you? We can still be friends.

"Qashqai".

In my head it sounds like "cash cow".

I've always called it cash cow as well.
