Albert Ross Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 We all know there's cars named after animals, and specifically in my case, birds...I was doing a service on a Suzuki Swift.. The Bluebird's there too. Reliant Robin Escort Harrier Humber Hawk and Snipe/Super Snipe Riley Kestrel Triumph TR4 Dove Standard Swallow Pontic Firebird Ford Thunderbird Hayabusa (Peregrine Falcon in Japanese) Any more takers? Obviously there's any amount of Eagles, and the Phoenix Consortium? What have you lot got in your heads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
