My Alice

I remember reading once and thinking to myself, how sweet and endearing, that you referred to your wife with a "my".
The name can have three meanings- your wife, the town called Alice, or the rig's name.

Hi Leon,

I created a name for my house plaque using the first two letters of my family's first names - Chris, Charlie, Anthony Aidan and Luke and came up with Chanailu, which has a nice ring to it. (dont steal this one!!)

Simple is often the best, with yours, I suggest your name and then the lovely wife's name backwards....put them together and you have:

"LEONECILA" (pronounced Leon-ess-ilah)

This is my number one, other ones I thought of below;

Takin' Our Time

Leon :thumbsup:

[leon]

Well, guys I must thank you all sincerely, the names you suggested were, great, however I have chosen the One from H, Twilight to Starlight, it has a nice ring to it.

I will Incorporated it with the brand name of the rig which is Sundance, made by Heartland in the States.

So it will be something like this:


"SUNDANCE MOVER"

from

"TWILIGHT TO STARLIGHT"

I will get a sign writer to make up some nice visuals maybe a sunset and the breaking dawn, not sure yet but i will let you all know when it is done

Leon

[Screwdriverone]

Congrats H!,

All the best Leon.

Cheers

Chris

[M54]

Congratulations Humayan.

When do you leave Leon?

[supernova1965]

A great choice Leon sounds just right look forward to seeing you when you are up this way.:thumbsup:

[Octane]

Woohoo!

Thanks, Leon. :D

My initial suggestion was going to be Twilight to Starlight Express. Glad I just stuck with the two word theme. :D

H

[leon]

Molly mate I would leave tomorrow, however we have a new baby grandchild, :love::love: the truck to pull this rig will be here on Friday, and the actual unit wont be ready until July 28, so a few more weeks.

Then My Dear Alice needs to help her daughter and new Grand child. :D :D

So it probably will be a couple of months. ;)

That's all good though, it will probably take me that long to get used to this rig, bloody hell it is big. :eyepop:

Leon :thumbsup:

[M54]

I totally understand why Alice needs to stay around for awhile, having two grandkids myself.:)
Make sure you get lots of practice driving the humungous rig, won't you.:thumbsup:

[Ric]

Hi Leon,

Forgive the ignorance but why are they called 5th wheelers?

Cheers

[Suzy]

H's name was my favourite too Leon ;)
Good on you H. :thumbsup:

[leon]

Ric, good question, and I did wonder why, but from my research I discovered that this comes from a long time ago, and the actual 5th wheel comes from the fact that the actual unit is attached to the pulling vehicle attached to the 5th wheel, being the hitch which can turn in any direction on the back of the pulling vehicle. :shrug:

True I looked it up. ;)

Leon :thumbsup:

[Ric]

Ah ha, that makes sense Leon.

Cheers

[renormalised]

Grats H:)

Nice rigs:)

[Jen]

Leon :hi::hi:

I think you should call it Wasataconce :D or Oncewasatac :lol:

Astrotrader :lol:
