The initials V & W might be used to good advantage. Better than having a kid called Peaches, Fifi-Trxibelle, Satchel, Moon Unit to name but a few of the awkward names that some parents have saddle their kids with!

A friend of mine is a massive VW nut, first car was a '60s Beetle, he now has a couple of Mk1 Golf Gtis and a Mk1 Scirocco Storm.

Once on holiday he was blind drunk in a Tenerife nightclub, saw a local woman doing henna tattoos, and thought it would be a good idea to get a temporary tattoo on his arm saying "100% VW".
But there was a translation problem and he ended up with a tattoo saying "100 Pesetas VW".
He spent the next morning with a bad hangover, trying to scrub it off...

Even Shakespeare wasn't immune to car-nuttery. Wasn't the heroine of The Merchant of Venice called Porsche or something?

All right. I'll get my cloak.

And what about that old sea dog who favoured traditional cars made in Malvern.

All right, I'll walk the plank.

And what are those cars with the Viking ship on the badge, from India these days I believe?

All right. I'll leap into the wolf pit with a loud cry of 'ODIN!', be torn to pieces and then float away into the North Sea in a burning whaler while all my maidens and warriors sing dirges on the shore.

Being torn to pieces would be awfully "Thor"

Confused me too. What on earth does the "V" stand for?
