Post subject: | Have you named your Adventure Island / Tandem Island |
I very recently collected my new dune AI, and sold off my 2009 model this last week. I bought the red one off a dealer in Canberra who travelled down to Jindabyne NSW Australia, to demonstrate it. It subsequently got the name Jindabyne Gypsy which proved to be a good one as it was a nomad most of the time. Now its gone the new owner intends to car-top it interstate a bit so its name remains relevant. I have been thinking for a new name for the 2011 model which I will signwrite onto the poop deck. I do like the new dune colour and the cosmetic changes are nice so have almost firmed up on 'Pirate's Treasure' for its name. I will give it more thought next week when I am away, then cut the sign. Any suggestions are welcome. Here is my new treasure: I was wondering if anyone else goes to the bother of giving their treasure a name and if so what? ...Pirate |

How about "Gippsland Ghost", in honour of the new colour? |

All my vehicles get "Pet" names, so it was just logical that my TI would also get one. I now refer to my dune TI as "Malleus". It the Latin word of my nickname - Hammer. I'm actually considering getting some marine decals made and sticking them on either side of the bow. |

Nice try Chris but too close to the name 'Grey Ghosts' or Parking Officer, which I am NOT fond of...Pirate I was thinking of maybe 'Pirate's Galleon'...what about that?...Pirate |

Hey Pirate, what about "Arrrrrrrrrrrr"? You could put a stuffed parrot up the mast too. I'll let you figure out how to keep it up there though... That'll scare the kiddies! |

That is very very good Cowsgomoo. Not bad at all for a bovine. Some would like me call it Arrrrrrrrrrrr-SS (I think the SS is cause it goes fast) ......Pirate |

My 2011 AI has a serial number 0666. So I called it 'Triple Hex' |
