Names of your cars

I was going to name mine Gretrude as well. But I almost forgot that was my Wife's Grandmothers name, who was born and raised in Munich. So I went with Wilma for my '59 Bug to play it safe.

My 68 bug is Willy. I wanted a girly name but Melanie had already named it, and since some folks already knew it as Willy....it just stuck
We have always called our 82 Scrambler "Nina".
If I ever get me another 66 bug, I want to call HER "Willow".

Actually pulled it out of its corner yesterday and shot it with some oils to start loosining things up. Almost have the bus ready for paint so once its done can start playing around with him. Probably be spring before it happens.
