Now that LJ's cooperating . . .

My new car is a white, mitsubishi galant. 1993 with 115000 km on it. Beautifully looked after, and very hard to find. We picked it up about 2 minutes after it came in.

I've just driven it around in circles for an hour to a)get used to it and b) get used to driving on my own for the first time since I got my license. It was more fun than it probably should have been.

Now the car needs a name. At the moment, Matt's motorbikes are Archie the Aprilia and Herschel the Harley. The Galant needs a 'G' name, and it should be female to balance out the male/femal balance in the garage. Matt also thinks the name should be vaguely medieval.

So help me, dear friends list . . . .

I really don't understand the car-naming thing, but I had a suggestion anyway. It's from a Handel opera. I'm pretty sure "Galatea" is the female role...

My last car (the little one that someone ran into) was named Patty after Peppermint Patty . . .

When in need of medieval naming, this is the place to go:

Which Wikipedia also says means "the White Fay or White Ghost". And she is white, so....
