Greetings once again,

This is only my second submission so most of you probably
don't remember me. I'm the new guy with a '66 T'Bird and a
'74 Jensen Healey.

Anyway, recently on the British-car net there was a thread
about naming of one's automobile that was really pretty funny.
Recently my T-Bird made her name known and I thought some of
you might be amused.

While trying to remove the passenger side door handle
(stripping the paint for a redo) there was a rubber plug that
resisted most of my efforts. While struggling with it I found
myself talking the car (an action I'm sure most of you are
familiar with) and out popped the phrase, "Come on Esmerelda"

I'm not sure if that was the car's name or just the rubber
piece's, but since nothing on the car had a name previously,
it was applied en masse.

Of course, had I used this method of naming on my Jensen, it
would certainly be called, "!%&@^#%#*(#&$^#%@%!!!"

Good old American technology.

Hope you were amused as I. I don't own a nomex suit.
