A fleet and a fleet of Admirals ….

[02V70]

Do you have all those cars now, or were they past cars? Also how did you come up with the names? I just call mine "The Volvo"

[abscate]

Every car is named after a Queen, either by title or Queen of Rock and Roll

That’s the current grossly oversized fleet. Every time I go to pare down m a work opportunity comes up where I need a Car in a remote place

There is no Mary. Or Christina, Silvia, or Ulrika Eleonora the Younger!

I like Ludvig Van Vanthoven.
