I named mine but only when I had five on the drive at once!! But in my defence, like I said....when you have more than two cars that are the same model!! But they were names like Rap because the reg was G515RAP and auto because the car was an auto....Did you see that one coming?? There was 323 because it was a.......you guess'd it....a 323i
Also tech1 because funny enough it was an mtec1 sport!!

Now the cars on the drive are called.......Mine and yours!! When we go out we both say, are we taking mine or yours??

There you have it!

I used to call my old Xantia 'babs' as in babs cabs from league of gentlemen, simply because it was such a taxi-mobile. (no it wasn't bright pink)
As a rule I don't name my cars unless there's something worth naming it for. My flatmate has a thing for naming cars, his Fiesta is called 'Esther' and has called my tourer Ralph for a reason I don't know and don't really care, just as long as he doesn't eat my food......

I see a trend here...

My Touring 'The Touring'

My Cavalier 'The Cav'

My Civic 'The Civic'

My Carlton 'The Carlton'

Slight variation, the Civic is sometimes refered to as 'The Slut'

sometimes refer to mine as the "alpine white rightness"

or "the touring" (mates have been trained to say Touring as opposed to Tourer :-x or "estate" :x :x )

When filling with petrol, i'm feeding "the beast"

Hopefully if servicing business takes off it'll be a "Service Slag" :cool:

I've been trying to think of a name for mine for months. JTO doesn't really lend itself to anything. Was going to go with moby but hate the baldie vegan twat.

Start you B@astard
