The R I call the box, because that is what it is - a square box, and the chummy - the chummy but known as Humphrey after trying to fit upside down split collets soon after purchasing, it gave me the raving hump.
No signwriting though even if the saloon looks rather like a Rupert to me.
Do your own individual thing, just like the cars.

Car type: 1932 RN saloon
When I was a kid and my dad had the RN before he passed it on to me, all the other kids on our street called it "Willy Jamjar" (registration WJ) except one kid who called it "The Coffee Pot" (???) Which proves that most of them could read I suppose. Anyway it's now been shortened to Willy. Rather unfortunate when people are enquiring about it. Eg How's your Willy?"

A further distinction — between those who write a name on their car as opposed to just giving it a name. What thoughts?

Whoever would do such a silliness?! Myrtle the C-Cab was already sign written in paint on purchase, Happy (the Chummy) & Betty (A35) were adulterated by self with vinyl tape
