Naming cars (or anything inanimate for that matter) is gay! :gay:
Mine gets called My Car, Stu's Car or The BMW.


Or if I'm working on it and things aren't going the way they ought to it's F****** B******.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

my old 316i was named WiNX (reg was K*** WNX)
and I'm still deciding on one for my current one...although it looks like it's gonna be Huey....(what a rubbish name...but there's no other letters in the reg)

of course there are the obligatory 'working on the car' names, like 'pile of s***' and 'you c**k'........

Used to name them (simlar to last 3 letters of reg) but had so many now the missus just calls them clampet wagon or shed
Previously owned loads of old E30s, E34s, a few E36s, E32s, E39s and an E38.

Never been one for naming cars myself, but I did buy an E30 off a mate who names his. It was called 'Bert' which just kinda stuck when I had it.

I affectionately refer to my 325 as 'the chav' for obvious reasons but the 318 is just 'the 318'. :D

During its gay phase, my car was called Sebastian. Now it doesn't have a name :evil:
I will resist giving the steriotypical male answer to your question Fi, but as for car names, i,m not sure how " i,m just nipping out to give Sebatian a good service " would be met.

I called mine Consuela. The reason being that the main character in a porno myself and my bird used to watch was called Consuela.

She liked to do it sideways.... as did the E30.

So it stuck.
