Mayflower?
There was of course the USA machine the Carnation 1912 to 1914. (It might have been Car Nation)
Now, if a law was passed that every automobile in America had to be painted pink, then the USA would become a pink car-nation!

Fish, have we done fish yet? Let's follow that with... um... rivers. Then we can have dogs...
I know, let's have a thread to think of the categories of things cars are named after...  |

computers can be just like a TV or Radio.
On Off switch or change channels (threads, Websites) if I don't like the program.
I used to follow another local club, got a bot monotonous as all you got all the time on the website, or club meet, was
ford ford,
ford ford ford,
mk1, ford ford ford ford,
mk3, ford ford ford ford ford ford ford ford ford
mk2,
ford ford ford ford ford ford ford ford ford ,
and ford.
With the ocasional tincorna better than crapi, no crapi better than tincorna
At least a bit of variety never hurts
OH And Ford |

Toyota seems to have had a botanist in their staff.
I love that name "Sequoia" . A related tree, Metasequoia glyptostroboides is the so called "Dawn Redwood" (I'm, sure I went to school with her) is a tree that once covered much of the Northeren hemisphere and was known only from fossil records intil 1941 when it was identified, I think, in China. I am sure there were some much more important things to be done in 1941, but there you are.
Just remembered, this is a classic car forum...
Has the Toyota Corolla been mentioned? Lovely name, not sure about the car. A real specialist's name, corolla being the technical name for the petals in a flower.
Bring on the brain-teasers Larry. |

OK so the DLM has ford bits, only because it came with them 
My previous post sound worse than I ment.
Essex Classics are a good friendly crowd, even if it is mostly fords  and we do have a laugh. |

Essex Classics?
My 1958 Austin A35 by angrydicky, on Flickr
It's been in Essex since new in 1958, so I think it counts

Hi John,
Yes, I noticed that too but it's Roger that you needed to alert.
