I had an 82.5 named Poirot...Hercule Poirot.  A play on the
Belgian/French pronunciation of Hercule:  Aircooled.
Also had a '69 named Swervy because of the major play in the steering arm.
Another, a  '66,  named "Faith" perhaps because that is what kept it
running.
Another '66 named "Shanty Mama," after the song by Jonathan Edwards.
Other were never named or the names never stuck.
