Do you name your cars?
Discussion
As the title suggests, do you like to name your classic? Maybe something to do with her model type, history, word association, maybe a dalliance from years gone by?
To kick-off the MGB's called Gertie, simply because she's green in colour. Have previously owned Cissy from her CSY number plate, a Delilah because she was delightful, and then there were the Porsche Petunia girls. Recently picked up a Subaru 4x4 for winter running about...she's now called Fanny...and should someone ask how's your fanny, I can comfortably confirm "My Fanny's very well today, thank you..."
What about yours...?

Yes. Or rather my youngest has...
It's called "The red car"
It's red and it's a car. She's three and all of her toys are named in the same fashion. She came along to Classics in Queen Square at the weekend and almost lost "blue bear". I'm tempted to buy her a spade to see what she calls it

Yes, i have named many of my cars over the years, simply because our type of cars have a presence / soul / passion.
My late Dads 68 Silver Pontiac Firebird convertible was called " The Detroit Dustbin"
His 70 Hemi 426 Challenger was " The Beast "
The Griff is "the beast" as its nearly done for me on several occasions a damp or wet road equals treat with Huge respect / This car wont take prisoners / Will bite you very hard.
The CSL is " Shaken Not Stirred " ( Work that one out if you can )
My first Pearl white 5 Turbo was " Ren "
My Van is "Lucy " after a dearly loved black and white cat.
