I said I wasn't bothered which name I got but I didn't say I wanted both.

Go for MAESTRO. As I said,it's got class.

Captain Bob   6.50 Newbury

I used to have a Maestro.

It was maroon and it had a wonky gear stick. Every so often the coupling at the bottom dropped off and you couldn't change gear.

I'd go with a different name, Mark.

Ignore this lot.

My grandad had a Maestro in red, it was a lovely looking car at the time.

I remember when I was on holiday when I was a kid at Bolton Le Sands and they have a bit of a beach (if you will) and every so often you used to get some pillock taking the car on the beach.

Well this time was an MG Maestro in black with all the mod cons on it at the time, the idiot must have done some rallying in it as it was on its roof.

Still stuck there and no farmer to help pull it off the beach, a load of locals came from the other side of the beach in their classic cars with their toolkits in tow and stripped all the interior, the seats went, the lot.

My dad and other family members then decided to join in and took the gearbox out and lugged it all the way back to Bolton in case my grandads ever failed (which it didn't) and the gearbox sat in bin bags in the garage ever since.

The car just sunk into the sand and it was never recovered after that.

True story!

I'll have whichever name was pulled out first.

All I said was 'Go for MAESTRO'.

I seem to have initiated an online version of Top Gear.

Haha!

If I did own a car it'd probably look like this.

Not for long, it wouldn't....

Mark, your name was the last one out so I didn't bother picking one as you had both options to choose from because you were lucky enough to get the lucky dip.

Oh, Christ....that's torn it.......Helmets on!

And please don't post a picture of your helmet.

Ffs its hard work for something so simple. I'll be Leatherman. Gimlet sounds too much like gimcrack.

...and Leatherman doesn't sound weird?

Gimcrack is a genuine tipster . RT said its to do with copyright so nuts cant get done in court. One of theme African but I've never heard of him.
