Source: Scotland's gritters out for winter: Here's their hilarious names

I knew that had to be in the list Some of the names are very funny & creative. I would NOT have come up with anything as humorous & creative as most of those were.

I can't stop laughing. Is each plow going to be painted a different colour to match their names? I can just see it. Snow Plows The Movie, just like Disney's Cars.

No "Gritty MacGritface"?

Bummer.

I did not think of that but it does sound very funny I would really like to watch Darth Spreader & Luke Snowalker competing in a competition against each other
