h, the car that is.
Marcus..Trust me the air used to turn blue with some of the language that used to come out of my mouth when mine used to break down..At least once a week!..I feel sorry for the people that used to say.."Nice car mate" when i was trying to fix it..They would get a psycho stare followed by a loud "fh, the car that is. k off"...
So for health reasons i named mine Delilah..Whenever she broke down after that..I didnt..I would just burst into song and call the RAC...
The growler
She also has a website www.beastandgrowler.co.uk - ( needs a little updating ! )
Called the growler as she growls - simples as they say
Also when it goes a little wrong I remember that Denise van outen used to call a certain part of her anatomy her "growler " and that's much nicer than calling her the "c" word when the knuckles start to bleed or she pisses fuel and other fluids over my feet !!

No Wedge Yet but you never know ? but it would have to be a boys name the perfect family 2 girls and a boy LOL
Lottie because she cost a lot to restore and her number CLO693T
Patricia because the Engineer who did the restoration was a Post office Engineer before he went on to work on single seat race cars and a race team hence postman pat but a Vixen is a girl sorry rather complicated

I thought "wedgeinald" was quite appropriate and hopefully a little funny, when my 2nd wedge came along (currently called Wedgeinald II) I was tempted to call it "wedgeina" (female version of Wedgeinald) but I was persuaded that it was NOT a good idea.
I do also use "blue" language regularly and the car does seem to respond to it....
Most embarrasing was at the halfway stop for the London Brighton last year, we got stopped on a hill on the way in and due to a car coming the other way (and the car in front of me stopping suddenly) I stalled, and just managed to get the starter (which sticks when warm) to start the car, this however took its toll on the battery power so when I tried to start it to leave it refused to start, even with the jump pack so in frustration I (rather loudly) said "f***king thing" as I kicked the tyre, and EVERYONE looked round, but it did start soon after that.
I have also found that "start you B***h" also has worked on occasions.
I'm sure these cars are alive....and stuborn sometimes..
