Re: Your Van Got a Name ????
Van #1 is called "The Van"
Van #2 is called "The other Van"
Hahahaha! Just kidding!
1: My 65 Sportvan has picked up the name "The Surfer Van" from folks around the island and it stuck.
2: The 66 Panel van was named after my father's 66 Chevy panel from years ago "The Mean Green Machine" or as I'm now calling it just "Mean Green".

Re: Your Van Got a Name ????
Well most of my friends and family who see it call it the "hippy van". Who knows...it might stick...lol. As for now it remains nameless. And I can't call it the "money pit" either cuz I haven't spent that much on it yet, and it would be to confusing in discussion cuz people would think I was talking about the house, camper, daily driver...lol.

Re: Your Van Got a Name ????
Don't usually name my vehicles but the Super 8 gets referred to as the "Toasted Marshmallow" due to its patina of surface rust & crackled off-white paint. I noticed while banking on line that my wife named the account my van money is in "Toasted Marshmallow Account", have a feeling this name is going to stick.

Re: Your Van Got a Name ????
I also don't name my vehicles.
The 69 is "the 108"
The 66 is "my van" or "the project"
the 02 is "dajiban"

"The Red Van" but to be honest it is more of a multi-primer color right now.

Re: Your Van Got a Name ????
Kinda nick-named my 2nd gen 'Laundry Basket'.In honor to my dad's old Econo he had when I was a kid,that was a retired laundry service van.Both were/are that God-awful green.The 1st gen,simply '1st gen',that sits there and waits.

Re: Your Van Got a Name ????
this is "Penny" because that's what i thought she looked like the 1st time i saw her.
and this one is "S.O.B." because i want to put "Heir of the dog" on the sides and the album "Hair of the dog" across the back doors one day.

Re: Your Van Got a Name ????
maryjane. my wife picked it and evan though i didnt really like it, it fits the van. my end goal is to have a hippy van straight out of the '60's. far from stock, but built like it would of been if it was done back then.
