Its Here

It's here, and its been working smoothly for a couple of days now. Its high in comfort, high in style, and the driving position is quite high off the ground too. Various seats fold up in the back meaning it can swallow all our luggage without a problem. Another configuration of seats means there's a kind of flatish bed sized area. But we are yet to try sleeping on it, so I'll save judgement on that for later.

Its Automatic, systematic, etc. It has coped with driving on a beach and with doing a long cross country run. It has a superb cassette player and we are grooving to Talking Heads. It has a total of 12 windows including a Sun and a Moon roof. If anyone knows what the Overdrive button on the gear stick is for, let me know.

What's also required from you is some help in naming the new guy. All our suggestions revolve around it being black and the first car we've ever owned so are based around the world's new overlord. Can we get away with calling our car Barack Obama? Should we? I prefer 'The Barack Obama' rather than giving the car a personal name. The Obamamobile is too alliterative. The Presidential Suite describes the car well, but doesn't slip off the tongue well enough for everyday use. Car force 1? El Presidente? Help us out, let us know your favourite derivation on the new World Leader's moniker, or just tell us to stop being so racist now that we've left london.

Full tribute to the vehicle is available on Youtube.
