Car Names

[sft42]

I just got a new (well new to me anyway) car today and i'm still trying to decide on a name for the beast....So i'm wondering what the other 'bankers called their wagons?

[BenDToy]

"My Car" and "Your Car" - there's no way we would admit to being sentimental about some chunks of metal, plastic, glass and rubber!!

[gazzawazza]

Yeah, same as me BenDyToy, I'm not clever or original enough to think of a quirky name that means something, so it's... The car.

My first car was called Mini the Moocher, others have been the Red Rover, Snowdrop, Trouble, Tim Tom. But I seem to have run out of names so for now its My Peugot and Your Peugot.

Just don't ask what the Computer is called :)

[gazzawazza]

What's the computer called?

Our car is called Delia.... as the man at the dealership was called Del Smith. But, according to my man, all cars are female so it just became Delia....

[flirty41]

Generally, it's called 'heap' (of rubbish). It's not an old car but from the day it was bought it's been nothing but trouble! :-)

If the Editor was to temporarily disable the profanity filter, I could give you a truthfull answer as to what I usually call my car.

[rekstout]

We don't call our cars anything in particular but my sister has a new beetle which we all call her Jelly as it is lime green and looks like a jelly mould

[Mintox]

old car was Jenny, New car is Sugar low. PC is called Jane......i really need to get out more

I drove a Skoda for years, which I called 'The Racer', and yes I've heard every Skoda joke going, and I'm immune to them all - it was a great car, and it's still going strong two years after I sold it. Car snobs? Pah!

[cupra]

Spud or Potato - bland and common (sorry to all who like Mondeos!)

[bimsey]

Once had a 2CV called Strawberry.

I had never named a car until, post divorce and totally skint some years ago I paid �300 for a car which proved that usually, you do get what you pay for. It cost me more in repairs than its original cost and broke down twice in mid winter on an unlit stretch of motorway, the first time in the fast lane. It became unaffectionately known as Scrap, and thats what it eventually became.

[Andromeda]

No car, but my revo is called Gerald. ;-)

A mate of mine once bought a 2nd hand Daimler hearse. Quality motor, naff all mileage and never over 50mph. It still had the curtains in the back, so he installed a mattress to entertain any young ladies he happened to meet. (The springs were pretty good too!). Anyway, to liven it up a bit, he painted flames coming off the front wheels and down the sides and called it 'The Black Bat of East Grinstead', though no one ever knew why!

I've always named my cars - Acid for my 1st Moggie back in '69 due to the number plate being ACD. Then I bought a Beetle which got christened Boris as a suitable 'Germanic' name.
My current Moggie got it's name by chance - I had been without wheels for a while & then I found my 1967 Traveller. Ma piped up "now you can travel the countryside in earnest".........so Ernest he became. Very suitable I thought for a sedate old man.
BTW sddsddean, I live in EG and there are plenty of bats around but no flaming hearse!

[sddsddean]

Well ipek, I used to live in the LB of Greenwich and the closest the 'Black Bat' got to EG was Bromley. Thats why we don't know why he called it that!

[FordGranada1]

I don't generally name the cars that I own, except when they wont start, then I think of lots of names!!!!
