The circle is perhaps the purest, most profound and the most common symbol in existence. With the probably infinite billions of stars, planets, moons and galaxies full of the same, the circle is well represented in the physical universe in the form of spheres. A circle, having no beginning or end, represents infinity, eternity, wholeness and femininity. Other meaningfully significant symbols or objects are circular: Stonehenge, Ouroboros, the Wheel of Life, a halo around the head of a saint, etc. In a very practical way, it can be said that circles rule the world. For example: wheels, gears, computer hard drives, CDs.

The circle is such a common shape that we take it for granted ... but there is more to it that just a common shape. Mathematically, the circle is defined as the set of all points that are the same distance from a given point, called the center.

http://rondomingue.com/2009/01/15/lucida_grande/ I believe I use Ariel. Well, I'll compare the options anew and try to find out which I like more.
So I go on with Arial. And a little Georgia.

Claudia - Audi 80 CL 1983.
An obvious choice - the name consists of both "CL" and "Audi"!

Gretchen - Audi 80 GTE 1978.
Gretchen is a German form for the name "Greta", meaning "little Greta".

Elsa - Audi 80 LS 1976.
Naturally because of the letters "LS".

Ilse - Audi 100 LS 1974.
Another name with the letters "LS" in it, and a German name too. Thanks to Kevin Thompson for the suggestion!

Katinka - Audi 100 Avant 2.3E 1988.
I thought long and hard to come up with a suitable name for this black beuaty. Thinking of things that are black I came up with "ink", which led me to Katinka. Having a catalytic exhaust converter - in Swedish usually shortened to "kat", the name was even more justified!

Previous cars:

Ellen - Audi 80 L 1975.
When you refer to "the L" in Swedish, it's "L-en". Hence, Ellen!

Lydia - Audi 80 CL 1984.
Named after her license plate letters LYY, and being Claudia's sister.

Beloved Daniel took his own life away.
Now his traces are conspicuous.
Daniel Come Here.
Gathering all that strengthen a portrait that he could approve.
White whales are now abundant around you
and there should be no reason to feel blue.
Just tell us about it so you won’t be alone
and please don’t turn yourself into stone.

You say you’ve told us innumerable times
without the sound of any soothing chimes.
You say it’s time to anchor and go ashore.
Should we not search further anymore?
