Our Van is called "Beauty" only because my wife called the tug "The Beast".

Our other little daihatsu MPV is called "Ted's Van"   (don't ask!!!)

Ours is called Eileen, in memory of my mother in law who died on the same morning we collected our first and brand new van, very mixed emotions that day.

Of course! Our first caravan was an Abbey Cabaret called Bertha. We loved her to bits (quite literally in fact) and she went to the Great Campsite In The Sky last year. We now have Patsy, a Pageant Provence. She is towed by Tessie The Two Ton Terracan.

Yes, we are quite mad.


Ours is called patsy too she is an ecles coral.

Our names have been kids tv train related

The current 'van is Annie the Avondale after 1 of Thomas' coaches, the car is Griff (A Zafira - not train related but it's badge is a griffin)

Previously we had Ivor (the engine of course - and far nicer than Thomas the tank) towing Idris (a friendly heraldic type dragon and friend of Ivor) so named because we holidayed on Angelsey - the top left hand corner of Wales where Ivor the engine lives

My daughter has named our Compass Venture Fred (still don't know why!!!) and our conway countryman was called Colin.

 Our S-max is called maxy and my fiesta is "Blue" from its colour or "Dinky" from its numberplate.

We've always called our cars names - we've had Skippy, Whelk, Fuzzy and lots more!!!  

Don't be embarassed! We're not!
