I like the "Sylva Strafe"
The definition of Strafe is an attack from a low flying aircraft.

Certainly isn't a popular choice. I, for one, will not be driving round in a car called a Shindig regardless of how good it is.

Why don't we just abbreviate it to "S" - the Sylva S has a certain style to it.

I'm afraid I do too and I shall not be referring to the pile of steel and GRP in my garage as that. I may just avoid having a name, or stick to calling it a Spektre.

Yeah and I'm not becoming Shindig 3 either. :lol:

Seriously though as you know I've got the 3rd pre production car, as much as I liked the original name and won't be using the new name (I'll just call it a Sylva) it wouldn't have influenced my decision to buy it or not.

I feel the cars are produced for a specialist niche in the market for people who want them for reasons other than the name. I bought it because of what it is not what it's called.

Cheers
