"Chuggaboom"

Is that male or female?
From memory, that was the name of a car in a 60's  kids cartoon series wasn't it?

I think that was "chitty chitty bang bang" & it sounds like a good name for a twin.

Lowspeed,
            Whilst that is an excellent name for an engine, sounds more like the hit and miss variety! :D Ever heard a "farm pumper" running?
        I must be bored, 'cos I've just remembered that the cartoon was called "wacky racers" or something similar.Probably A US product, but shown in the UK in the 60's.

I really should get out more.... ;D ;D

cheers,

brian

Heh - Maggie is tempting (after Margaret Thatcher, UK Prime Minister from 1979 to early 1990s, otherwise known as The Iron Lady) :)

I can't call her Jenny, as we already have one of those in the family. Big Bertha is tempting...

On current evidence, Dirty Stinkbum would be appropriate ;D Or maybe Broken Shoulder...

I think of my 12/1 wild Indian Listeriod as "Rampageous" for scaring the snot out of me on first start up. HE IS firmly anchored down now with an adjusted governor and yoked to his lot in life of being a productive producer. Defiantly a burley Bull and not a docile oxen. So I never forget he will KILL me if I ever DO get lazy, inattentive or sloppy.
