Catchy names on vans,motor homes etc.
Permalink  

Driving back from the Sunshine coast I noticed a lot of names on the back of Vans,motor homes etc.One in particular took my fancy.("No fixed abode your honour"),another was "Goodbye cruel World we are doing the circuit".There were  quite a few more that I cant recall just now.How many names can other G/N's recall?Be interesting to see them.Cheers.Ibbo.

Oh forgot Ibbo,

I seen another one the other day at my local caravan sales yard, it was on a little nipper van.  Was called:   "The Granny Flat".   I rather liked it and if my car would have towed it I may have swapped the van for it.
