I usually have names for all my VWs; - My 1988 Syncro DoKa is 'DAS 4x4' with the matching licence plate - what else would you call a big Austria 4x4? - My 1986 Syncro 16 Multivan is 'Aschenbrödel' which is German for Cinderella - my friend in Germany lost the keys for my van the day before I went to Hamburg. He went and tried everyone's T3 key in the neighbourhood to see if it would fit - kinda fits the glass slipper scenario. - My 1986 Turbo Diesel Golf - 'Rusty' - guess why! - My mum's 1978 Rabbit - Fru Fru - after the rabbit in the nursery rhyme David Marshall Fast Forward Automotive Inc. 4356 Quesnel Hixon Road Quesnel BC Canada V2J 6Z3 http://www.fastforward.ca mailto:sales@fastforward.ca Phone: (250) 992 7775 FAX: (250) 992 1160 - Vanagon Accessories and Engine Conversions - Vanagon, Transporter and Iltis Sales and Importation - European Lighting for most Volkswagen models -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com]On Behalf Of George Thorburn Sent: October 13, 2002 8:19 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Any clever nicknames?
