Akuma77 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 ive been looking into some japanese type of names for my celica , ive been looking and noticed theres quite a few guys on here that have used different names like tabba with natsuki etc and i was just wondering did you guys just pick a name at random or actually look up something that represents your cars ? someone pointed out to me the other day that i should choose a different name and ive been looking around and its like a needle in a haystack lol anybody else had this trouble too?

daytona Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 Baz, an old college girlfriend of mine came in one day eyelids aflutter that her boyfriend had just given her a Japenese love poem. Instantaneously I recited....... "Teo torriatte konomama iko Aisuruhito yo Shizukana yoi ni Hikario tomoshi Itoshiki oshieo idaki" Noting the gobsmacked look on her face I just explained it's a verse of the latest Queen album he's bought. If looks could kill.......... Pick the bones out of that for a new name! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
