I would never dream of giving my car a name but my (female) colleagues have named my touring Brenda as apparently it looks like a Brenda :?

Hahah. Good point, Rav. It certainly is, but no doubt that fooker Diable will come along and fiddle with things. In his case, it's not always the thread... :D

The lad I bought mine off names his E30s simply because he has so many and its the only way to keep tabs on them. Mine was called Ivor. But I call him Mr Kesh, as very soon that name will be very appropriate

Mine have all had men's names because they're all too ugly to be women.

And they all have names because its a lot easier than referring to them by model.

Dave the e36 m3
Ned the 316i compact
Rolf the mk2 golf gti
Eric the integrale
Brum the brm
