I just brought this bus home after Christmas. I don't even have it registered to me yet, but my wife and daughter got to work immediately giving it a name. It had to be something referencing "orange" so it eventually came around to food.
Meet "Clementine"

Our bus was named "Kimberly" by the former/original owner. We decided to keep it for good luck.

Meet Snickers, because it looks like a big candy bar. My link on the previous page changed, so here is a fresh one:

And that's original 1979 paint, by the way!

Sounds like a good reason for a new thread with pics of what you can do :D

I don't name cars... but we were thinking German Chocolate, (like the German Chocolate pie with merengue) would be a good name for this bus:

1977 manual transmission CE-1 with sliding roof.

My wife calls her Hippa, but I always refer to her as Jellybean. She is currently parked for the winter in a couple feet of snow, and really miss driving around in her.[/img]

I had mine named before I owned him. When I first saw his pics for sale, the name 'Ollie' just popped in my head. No rhyme or reason. That was just his name I guess.

Mine is 1975 and its Bailly, after my previous owners husband died from cancer.

Brobee, sage green '79 Campmobile. Got real lucky on this one.

Limey and Stormy

Both named by my daughter...

This is Stella. She's going through some stuff right now.

I've called my '74 Dorper the "Lounge on Wheels" since it doubles as a bar on climbing and skiing roadtrips. But that name is just a place holder until I think of a better one. Since the Bus seems to prefer warmer weather, I'm currently considering "La Soledad". I've only had it for a couple months so I'm sure something will happen that will inspire an appropriate name.

My nephew, who is bonkers for every type of fishing, suggested "The Bleeding Trout"...which is pretty freakin' original. I'm not sure everyone would understand, though.

My '98 Jetta TDI is "Trixie" after Speed Racer's girlfriend.

I named mine Kanye.

Because when I got him, I had to get used to the looks I would get from everyone. Then, after I became acclimated to the attention, I would be offended if someone made eye contact and didn't smile. I felt that was the kanye attitude.

Named mine just this week :D
