Maybe yu could get IBM to sponsor you!

Previous ones have been:

Doris - 110 200tdI
Dora - a manky old 300tdi disco
Daisy - a white 200tdi 110 made to look like a cow
Arnie - the current 300tdi 110

Mine's either the Ninety, or the White Elephant. Because it's large, white-ish, and good at carrying/pulling things. No other reason at all....

A white elephant is a possession which its owner cannot dispose of and whose cost, particularly that of maintenance, is out of proportion to its usefulness.

I can't remember - I don't think they came that far to see her, but they were nice people Daisy was K reg....

Nellie

My 90 was named Daisy by Mrs P, nit the first on here either it seems.

G

+1 for Nellie - as in Nellie the (white) elephant. Last one was Ernie, to go with our Flat Eric (Eric and Ernie), before that Bertha, and before that Snowball (the white 109).

Have a look at the Wiki of white elephant: "A white elephant is a possession which its owner cannot dispose of and whose cost, particularly that of maintenance, is out of proportion to its usefulness" Perfect.

Beast as it is what the previous owner called it

Back in the late 1980's I was in the isle of wight for a few days with the family. Land Rover had a display of a modified 110 fitted with flotation tanks, bit like a RIB, so it could drive over water (got a photo of it somewhere). My daughter who was about 5 years old at the time said "look at that wimblowdriver, my teacher has got one of those". SInce then all landy's have been known as wimblowdrivers, thats what mine is called, and also the reason for my user name.

He's called Henry. Cod he's red and his number plate is HRY
