Where do Manufacturers get model names from?

[RichardSmith]

The Japanese names are surely the worst......

........Isuzu Big Horn - that's one for a 4x4 driver lacking something!!

And the Nissan Cedric!! Also they call the 300zx a "Fairlady" in the land of the rising sun.

Then the Mitsubishi Shogun is called a Pajero over there - doesn't that mean \/\/@nker in Spanish or Turkish or something....?

"Ah Bond" said Q in his officious manner whilst looking down on the man most of the world feared " Now listen carefully!"

" I have had to destroy the Aston you had as it has become too popular due to some bloke from FORD buying them and thinking that a small niche presitge handbuilt manufacturer of cars for the well heeled, would be suitable as a mass produced low volume exclusive car for the masses and now everybody has one! So here is your new car"

The SSangYong Kyron!

"It doesn't have any cloaking devices as anybody who sees one will die of shock. This of course gives you the upperhand in any situation."

"Pay Attention Bond!"

"No it doesn't have an ejector seat. Who do you think would get in one to be ejected out of it eh?"





See Daniel Craig in the next Bond Movie, "the Man with the rubbish car"

The red phone glows red as it rings. Alfred, the butler, picks up the handset and without speaking passes it to Bruce Wayne, “Yes Commissioner, how can I help you”

“Come at once Batman, we have a problem” Says the commissioner anxiously.

“We’ll be right there” replies Batman. Bruce and his sidekick, Dick Greyson , race to the Batpoles and whilst sliding down they change into their famous outfits.

“What car should we take Bruce?” asks Dick

“We’ll take the Reliant, Robin………..”
