Your help is needed to name the Ford Country Squire.
Some of our cars have names, some don’t. Sometimes the car immediately names itself (cf Hermann Zer German) but on the other hand the bicycles never seemed to need names.
The Ford Country Squire does need a name, but we are still waiting for the right inspiration. Suggestions so far have included:
The Green Hornet – but its engine is actually purringly gentle to listen to.
The Jolly Green Giant – the original working title and still a good one, yet it is actually smaller than many cars on the American roads today.
The BonkersMobile – attractive, although it could be used to describe any of our cars.
The King of Swing – this one presented itself on the trip through the narrow, twisty, undulating roads through the redwood forests.
Please give us your ideas, although learning a lesson from the Boaty McBoatFace and Mr Splashy Pants sagas, the judges’ decision will be final.
Apologies for the lateness to the party – blame either the time zone differential or just pure indolence.
I was instantly reminded me of Bartholomew the Wide Mouth Frog from the eponymous joke by the great Dave Allen. Especially when parked next to some of the more elephantine vehicles he is encountering.
Ha ha! I remember that! Not many wide mouthed frogs round here!! And how fabulous to hear from you too.
