Finally - my Pajero and Subaru are both at my place. This week is the first time that’s happened. The Pajero might still be being worked on, but it’s actually here!
Previously when I had the Pajero at home, the Subaru was at my parents place.
Now - this brings me to another subject. It has come to my attention that some readers of my blog have been calling my Pajero "Padge". Let me clarify something - my Pajero is a Padge, but it’s name is not Padge. That would be Padge the Padge. If you must know, it’s name is Oscar.
I don’t mind cars with names. My sister has Barry (a Barina) and used to have Suzie (a Suzuki). Dad’s most famous Nissan Patrol was known as "The Tadpole".
My cars have had names - I just have rarely used them. My original Subaru was Gordon. I don’t think I ever told anyone that - I referred to it as "Granddad’s car" instead because I bought it from him.
My current Subaru is called Sideswipe. The short version of that story is that the official Subaru Transformer is an Autobot called Sunstreaker or something. I didn’t like that name, so my Subaru is a Deception called Sideswipe. Sideswipe was the name of an official transformer too, but I can’t remember which side or what make he was.
My Padge is called Oscar. Why? Well, when I saw him, he looked like an Oscar to me. If you want a better reason - when he works properly, he likes going wild, and when he doesn’t work properly, he’s a bit of a grouch...
Oscar the Headless Pajero.
