Do you name your car?

Jump to: Newest in thread

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Following the favourite car thread it made me think about car names and the reason behind them .

What's yours called and why?

Then I remembered a guy years ago on the forums who possibly loved his car too much. So I had to go search for this ..

Tootsie!

No, I've never named any of my cars. Actually, I only ever named what was going to be my first ever car, a silver Peugeot 106, used, from somewhere in Scotland. I named it The Highlander. It never became mine in the end, however...

Mines called Gary, partly because its a golf, partly because it randomly popped into my head one night and I kinda liked how it sounded

The little mgf that is a wedgewood edition and is a little rough around the edges is Mrs Potts. From beauty and the beast (ie wedgewood china)

The gtv is Tony spark ( its in iron-man red with gold wheels) and says T spark on the rear.

The 916 spider is blue.... so my daughter had named him Peter.. obviously a spider so named after Peter Parker.

I only name certain cars.

They have to be a character rather than a white good.

Presently got a Volvo estate, it’s called the car.

We both have fairly soulless lease cars for everyday use which we don't name, but we also have a 1969 Morgan Plus 8 which we take to car shows, and trips round the forest to the out-of-the-way pubs for lunch in the summer. We call those "days out with George".

Lovely car, horrible to drive unless you've got a bit of speed

No power steering so low-speed manoeuvring sometimes needs 2 of us to haul on the wheel.

Oh I just remembered the Purple Peril, so named because it was death defyingly dangerous (all we could afford at the time). The speedometer didn't work so you had to guess how fast you were driving
