My mates name my cars - the E30 is primarily Barry the Beamer/Baz/Big Baz but is a.k.a.
The Alcomobile (used for frequent Tesco visits for booze)
The Pro Taxi (when driving mates about for petrol money plus a few extra pennies)
The Zayyanmobile
The Pimpmobile

I only refer to it as "The E30" though....most people don't know what I'm talking about! :mad:

My temporary car's been named Shirley the Sh*troen as well.....they're an odd bunch 8O

Amen twice! The nearest my car has to a name is "Blingmobile" because it costs so much to run. But it doesn't get called that very often.
My sister has given all her cars names for as long as I can remember, but I refuse to use the names. It's so GAY!
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

My cars have always had names, purely to annoy the bloke I used to park next to at uni who called his Fiat Enzo and then his Seat Arthur.
My first Mini was calle Ferruccio (aftre the forunder of Lambourghini) My 2nd Mini Ferdinand (after the founder of Porche) and my MK2 Golf was called Adolf (because it was a work shy facist bastard).

My E30 is now called Bruno - because of the numberplate (E***BGO) bit tenuous I know.

It's good to use names as there are 3 E30 325's in my family and 2 saab 900 turbos so it's easy to get confused :roll:

"Delphin" (No points for guessing why!) and it's a she, I think that girls usually have boy cars but she was a she before I had her. I can't remember giving any any other cars I've had names. I was so sure I was going to buy a black 318is the other day that I'd already named it Gizmo.

no name for any of my cars...

they get called by their model number if behaving, or called all sorts when they're not.

My little brother's Skoda Felicia is known as 'Woody' as it was supplied by a dealers called Guthries (Woddy+Guthries, geddit?! :lol: )

reason i started nameing them is my friend is a golf nut and so is his family so there loads of them around us , so they started getting names to make it easy to know witch is who ,
now i have 4 cars my self and mum has a golf i have a golf and i have 2 bmws that are both blue so names are good.

but it has to roll off the tounge and sound good if it doesnt then its gay.

Christine for a red one ,,v/cool
