Whats in a name?

Many car owners name their vehicles. Funny names, serious names, frivolous names poignant names.
I myself have never done so before. I've never felt the need to. My first car was a brown Mk. 1 Ford Escort. What could you name that? (That isn't rude?) and I guess I carried on from there. My Opel Kadet SR was deserving of a name, but by that time I was into the no name frame of mind.
So why change the habit of a lifetime?
It deserves a name. This car spoke to me. I wanted it as soon as I saw it. I love the green colour. I don't think its British Racing Green or even Brooklands Green. But it's a very nice green and the white bands on the bonnet and boot do set it off rather well.
What to call it? For a while I ummed and ahhed about calling it "Tardis", I am after all a big Doctor Who fan and this car is a little time machine. But wifey pointed out that the car wasn't blue unlike the Doctor's phone box.
So that was that idea out...
The other idea was to call it "FG" (eff-gee) After my Dad. Those were his initials and the car was purchased with some of my inheritance from his passing.
It seems to fit. It feels right calling it "FG".
Perhaps I'll get some "EFF GEE 1" number plates for it.
