What are your cars called!?…

My daughter has always named our cars and even at 21 she still does. We never mean to refer to them by name but they just stick! Ours are…

Wife’s Kuga – ‘John’
Daughter’s Fiesta – ‘Fred’
My old Civic Type R – ‘Gimp Mobile’
And the latest, my MG TF has been named – ‘Mid-life Mobile’

…they are always referred to by name – never by mum’s car, dad’s car etc.

Crappy Mazda 2 – Heathcliffe
T5 Camper – Clive

Wife’s Kuga – ‘John’

This I like

Don’t have my own but the OH’s is called ‘your car’.

My T5 is currently called many things which I couldn’t type on a public forum as it’s been off the road for weeks with a seemingly untraceable fault.

Leaf “little car”
Stepwgn “big car”

We keep things simple.

The car
The van

Mondeo

My lad calls my CLS “The Limo”, my wife calls it “Your car” and I call it “The Thirsty Bastard!”

“Blue car.”
“Red car.”

Mondeo

I used to call mine the Mundano.

My car, your car.
Alternatively, Kia Picanto, VW Passat.

Mazda 3 – La Rouge
Volvo V40 – Jelly – KY registration
BMW gs1200 – Panzy

Wife names all her cars, me rarely.

My mates T5, before he sold it so it became somebody else’s problem, was called ‘The Moneypit’

I’ve got an old Skoda Octavia that refuses to die, which is known as the Czech Panzer

my 64 mini was called Mohammed

Fungus the bogey van – my snot green vw t2.

I had a Clio that was named Eugene by the kids as It’s number plate ended in EGN

“Blue car.”
“Red car.”

This except the red car is granny and grandad’s car so that one’s not around so much.

I had a GSX-R750 that was christened Tabatha by one of my female friends as its number plate ended TBA

They have the same names as the dogs, big’un and little’un.

No names other than on the little run about we got for son/daughter – registration looks like Luigi so that’s what the little Aygo got called.

All cars are Shitbox to me.

Wife’s Kuga – ‘John’

I appreciate the irony of me posting this but, is its surname Mellencamp?

I rarely name cars. One of my all-time favourite cars was nicknamed Gina because it had “GNA” as part of the registration, and my i40 got named Crosby because it went “Bing!” all the time but that was a running gag as much as anything.

“Blue car.”
“Red car.”

You should have a race. Stock up on chocolate.

We’ve a BMW 318i Touring that’s called “the car”

BMW Touring = The Touring
BMW i3 REX = Rex

Me: My car. Your car. The van.
Mrs CFSB: Mr Wave. Wendy. Wilfie.

Giulia is called Jools because calling it Giulia would be far too simple.
Cinq gets called cinq.
Caravelle is called turdmobile, but its real name is Orthogonal Blue Turdmobile the Second.

MINI
Qashqai
Tranny

All ‘named’ by the kids, hopefully they’re saving their creative genius for more important things. Haven’t yet explained to them to the true meaning of their shortening of the van’s name. It came out of a period of my youngest naming thing by adding ‘y’ to the end of things, including the fan in our bedroom…

No name, but she’s a she.

After a long journey, give her a little pat for being good to me.

Buzz – because electric, it’s proper name is Deadpool but it never really caught on.

The Van – because it’s a van.

The wagon / The estate – because it’s an estate.

Previously had The Mighty Polo, Tony the TT and Yoda the Skoda.

car
Bus
camper

My Touran was Puff the Magic Wagon.

My old Vectra was The Mighty Vectra. Because it was shit.

The Bus. Because it is a bus and I don’t have a car.
On rare occasions I call one “the hire car’.

When I am the only person on the last bus back from the village where I work (7 in the evening) I call it the free Uber.

“Blue car.”
“Red car.”

🤣👍👍

All cars are Shitbox to me

This. One day I might even get a Dodge for full effect.

Car.

Over the years my bright Red T5 has been

‘VanOwar’
‘The Red Menace’
‘The Big Red Bus’
‘The Unit’

and many other things.

My wife used to have a white Seat Alhambra affectionately known as ‘the Alhambralance’ or ‘The rolling Skip’ because of the sheer volume of child related detritus it usually contained.

We had a 1978 Triumph 2500 S that was called BOB for the Big Orange Bus. Named in honour of the Big Red Bus (a ‘76 TC) that I had before that and was driving when I first met my now wife.
