Okay, so what's the car's main claim to fame at this point? It's
"personality", it's colour, and genderwise, what are you feeling it is? My
silver headache was absolutely feminine, bitchy, and gave me lots of
literal headaaches, so she was easy. Klaus came prenamed. 

At this point, I'm thinking "Primo" or "Solo", something to indicate the
number "one", due to it being the first year for MkIIs, and the mono wiper
if memory serves. Or you could go for it's uniqueness, I actually cracked
the thesaurus, and "Flying Fish" popped out at me, but there are many
mythical beasts, like "Chimera", which in genetics describes a beast with
two completely different genetic profiles ("Dolly" was actually a chimera,
not a clone, as she had mitochondrial DNA from the cell donor). I'd look up
the mythical beast before selecting that, the genetic use sure fits, but
the beast may be a terror. (ooh, I just looked it up, I doubt it fits, if
it does, GL with that car...) Or you could just call the car "Sunshine". 
That'd be pretty funny when you're stripping bolts and swearing at it.
"F.you, Sunshine...."

Okay, enough distractions for me, stuff to do...
