My ex GF called our A Claas, Klaus.
She called my M3 Convertible, bluey (laguna seca blue. See )
Then we had a B Class and she called it Boris.
Lovely girl.
The wife [s]hates them all as a result[/s]wishes they'd all just get on with it
You know, there might be something in that...

My old TVR Griffith was called Sully - big blue monster.
I name all my cars. It's no worse the manufacturer branding them with fanciful model names IMO (would you have driven a Cortina in Cortina?)

Perhaps oddly, I don't name my bikes.
I've always named my cars. The name always has to have something to do with the registration though. My current car has WRZ at the end so the name is [b]W[/b]u[b]RZ[/b]ell. My last car had LFG at the end so the name was e[b]LF[/b]ie-[b]G[/b]. The one before that had OCA at the end so the name was [b]O[/b]s[b]CA[/b]r, and so on..
Thinking about it, our VW Touran has a name. "Utter sh*te".
Full run-down of past car names:
CNxx WRZ - Wurzell
Yxx LFG - Elfie-G
Vxxx OCA - Oscar
Pxxx DPE - Dippie
Pxxx YPE - Yippie
Hxxx HMO - Homo
Alice the Astra followed by Bertie the Beemer
I blame the wife
My Puma got a name, ShadowKat, after the X-Men character.
'Cos she were cute...
the mini's all had names, but boy names. all the minis that had girl names used to break down once a month and leak for a week.
not given any cars a name since the minis.
Holly the Honda - as named by the wife. She does like the little red nose too.
Got a mate who calls his Opel Commodore "Lionel"

The naming of cars is a difficult matter, it isn't just one of your holiday games...
My focus was the slug, because it was slow and left a shiny trail everywhere. Mondeo has no name but might aquire one some day.
I drive Stacey the Safety Bus - named by Miss njee20 to encourage safe driving. She has Pollyanna (Polly) Polo.
Previously there was Fiona Fiesta (aka Crazy Fi) and Huxley Pug.
My other half refers to our Golf as "the VW". This is accurate but given our other car (van) was also made by Volkswagen it isn't very useful.
Tom at college had a fierce panda.
We currently have Delilah the Peugeot Partner, and Betty the Fiat 500. Both named after hearings songs (more or less).

Very good!
