Here's the Panda camper, so named by my granddaughter, because it's black & white.

Titania, after the registration number. A giant amongst Queens along with other meanings. Like most queens also rather expensive to keep in their accustomed style. Pictured here on her way to a very expensive holiday at Mayhill Landrovers in 2020!

I had thought about going with 'Entropy', but my nieces really liked Grover.

Mpudi: So how did the land rover get up the tree?
Steyn: Do you know she has flowers on her panties?
Mpudi: So that's how it got up the tree.

Well said that man, dont call it a car either.

Larry S I thought entropy was to do with change of state?  Grover prompts thoughts of sesame street.

Ooops,  :confused sorry for the mis-spoke but all my mates and the wife call it 'the Landy' and it's just stuck, it is afterall her name on the registration document, (for business reasons originally).
I will desist from calling the old thing a Landy immediately.....
Is 'the Rover' better?  :RHD

Cheers Dave.

I would suggest that if you have had 30 years of ownership and are still smiling, that you have earned the right to call your Land Rover whatever you want!

Entropy, 2nd def: lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder.

That pretty much sums up old Rovers for me.

As to the Sesame Street reference... oh well, my nieces like it and it rolls off the tongue easily.
