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

My better half calls it the 'hound'
Also might be to do with my houndstooth fetish

I guess men don't want to say things like " I have just taken a ride in Dave " or " I'm going to service Julian at the week end "

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...

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.
