I've pretty much always named my cars. I've had Pete the Cinq, Percy Prelude, Victor Vectra and now Barry Beemer.

My missus has had Mary Mercedes and now has Pablo Polo. Her Sister has Sally Citroen.

So, do you have a name for your car?

Our Mini Cooper is called Henry (as in the boxer) and the S4 is called Snaily (as in "ooh, look at that S car go....")

Yep, I have had:
Dwezell the MG Metro, named after Frank Zappas son.
Narpark the fiesta cos its last three letters were CNP like NCP national car parks.
Ferrucio the alfa 145 Italian for strong one (i think).
the 147 and the GTV didnt get names for some reason :shrug:
But the current car is called Princess Leya 'cos on the same day that I picked her up my mate picked up a Black TVR Tuscan 2 that looks like darth vader, and my car is white and pretty so there we go. thumbup

My partners clipper golf is called karmen, for obvious reasons. Our daily Clio is called Rene as it's French and my rx7 is called Bruce, but I really don't know why!
We always name our cars.

Yes, they've all had names smile

My first car I didn't name, but got to known as 'The Viper' (sadly it wasn't a Viper but a 1.1 Metro, named after something I did with the styling)

My second car was called Shelby (a Clio)

Current car is called RJ, after RJ Mitchell.

No, only women who name cars.

My ex gf named my first car, I have no idea what its name was though.... I called it a car like a normal person.

Unfortunately most girls seem to think my car looks like Brum, so the name has now stuck!
