This patchwork covers an adorable vehicle and its growing fan club, and now the question…what to call it?


It has been on the to-do list for quite a while, and finally, I have found a very nice, tidy, newer model Toyota. White isn’t my ideal colour as I’m washing it more frequently but I’m adapting quickly to all its attributes.

My beloved loyal old Echo has been passed on to another family member to continue enjoying her reliability and economy. She’s old…the car…not the family member…but she got plenty of life left in her yet.

So I’m thrilled… I’m driving a car aged less than 10 years old! I’m enjoying all the mod cons, but I need to sort out the radio. The preset stations are leaving a lot to be desired, as the racing channel and another random one aren’t very inspiring so it’s back to the handbook to try and figure it out.

But here’s where things take a twist! My car is getting regular compliments from those I see with my job in aged care. ๐Ÿ™‚ ‘nice car!’ ‘What a nice car’ ‘very comfortable ‘, ‘it’s so manoeuvrable!’

So that’s a good reason to smile.

I’d love another reason to smile…I need a name for it. Just like with my writing, I sometimes find naming characters…and now cars…a challenge! So, drop a comment below, and give me your best shot at a name for this might fine, cute little vehicle.

So what ya got?
