Does your car have a name?

[Podie]

To start off one of those trivial threads... does your car have a name (or cars)? - any tales of how they were acquired?

(the idle curiosity was started by DM's car - "twink"... for "twin cam")

Yep it has a name: Not fn working

OK... so that one lasted as long as a Tony Blair popularity contest on Pistonheads...

Being a fan of Futurama, I likened my wife's car (being a boring, but nice looking enough, Audi A3, that keeps a firm eye on the way you drive (it has "Electronic Stability Programme")) to Leila and my cheeky little Fiat Cinquecento Sporting to Fry (small, not much use, cheeky). Then I thought about my TVR... it's mean, has a personality of its own, hates humans and needs dodgy fluids to live... but I could never name my car after a robot that bends bars for a living

My little pug is called Joan, after Joan of Arc.
Why?
Cause she my sexy little french mistress who loves taking on the more powerful oppressers (that's the waaaay too common jap cars around here).

It broke down on the A34 today where it joins the M3 at about 17:50 or thereabouts. Had no power at all it was pitch dark and I couldn't even put hazards on - Was on a steep incline so was not easy to push across both lanes to the side of the road!

Thanks very much to the lorry driver who saw me struggling and helped out!

Is that last line sarcasm, or not...? Can't work it out Mungo mate!

Well, mine has been called "Arse" most of the time. Now it's called "Wreck". I see the day I call her "Angel" or "Love" or somewhat else.

Well my Uncle (a bit of a twerp) used to have an Escort and it was affectionately known as sphincter, on the basis that every arsehole had one.

For reasons lost somewhere in the mists of time my Seicento is called Eggy.

mungo said: Sorry Podie, should have made that clear - Didn't get his name but he was a thoroughly nice chap, while everyone else was just sitting there in their nice warm cars this guy pulled his lorry up out of the way, donned a flourescent jacket and helped me push the car off the road.

Top bloke!

Mungo,

What's up with it this time? you don't seem to have the best of luck with your cars! Oh yeah, my MG is called the banjana due to the fact it's yellow with black bumpers.

Hey MUNGO when are you picking up the new motor?

[PIST N BROKE]

My current mini is a definate 'Doris' my latest purchase 1970 mini clubman is 'Herb' (short for herbert!) just comes across as an 'erb'

"Sometime" this month APPARENTLY! Getting very impatient now - Incidentally if you see me on the A34 again before I get the new motor my M*0NGO plate is off the car on retention again so it's back to it's original number - Will put my plate on the Cupra though!

It should be easy to spot you ....you will be the one pushing your car!!!!
