Welcome To The Wulfe Den: And her name is.... Sahara.

I dunno why, but all of my vehicles in the past - bikes, cars, pushbikes - items that are close to my heart, she's gotta have a name.... and for some reason, they're all female

I dunno, maybe it's a bloke thing?

And more often than not, there's a long and winding path traveled to finally get to the end decision.

My mind can work in mysterious ways at times.

Take my last car - A Toyota Avalon. Pretty basic, pretty normal, nothing out of the ordinary. No mag wheels, no big V8, basic white in colour. Just a decent, everyday, family-type car. It took me quite a while to come up with a name that just... fit. Nothing I could think of seemed to suit her.

So, after about a week or so, I was just sitting there, contemplating my belly button, and it finally hit me....

Avalon....

Hmmmmm..... Roxy Music had a song called Avalon....

BINGO.... Roxy fits her perfectly!!!!

So, Roxy she was!

So, when I first looked at buying this van, the then owner told me they were calling her 'Captain Clunky'.

The fuck is that shit? She deserves a classy name. Something befitting her wanderlust attitude. Something.... better. My initial thought was 'Matilda', as in Waltzing Matilda. Kinda fitting, A great old school Aussie tune. A song about swaggies (hobos) , running from the cops for stealin' a sheep.... but a bit tragic in the end.

Then again, maybe not.

Then on my way after doing all the paperwork to actually pick her up, Elvis's American Trilogy was going through my head for some reason. Now, growing up I used to LOVE this song. Well, I think it was more HOW Elvis Presley sung it, the passion and emotion you could feel. It was almost tangible, even coming through the speakers on an old, crappy tape deck.

Hmmmm.... Dixie? That's a definite contender, even if it's a bit.... religiousy.

But still not 100%.... best keep pondering.

So today, I was out on the balcony having a ciggie, looking over where she was parked, but kinda staring out into space and trying to let my subconscious take over.

Hmmmm.... Toyota.... Ooooooh..... who founded the company?

Kiichiro Toyoda.... Ok.... nothing there. Kids? Did he have kids? Two sons.... bugger. STEEE-RIKE TWO!

His mother! He had to have one.... right? Which brings us too.... Tami Sahara. Hmmmm, nah, not Tami, not for a van at least. Sahara.... Ooooooh, that has posibilities.

So then I googles 'Sahara Nomad'

Tuareg - OK, that's been done!

BUT.... I did find the pic below connected to the article Tuaregs sexually free muslim women
