Not named my car here, but always refer to her as "girl"

We did name our new Dyson "Lombardi" (after the Flames player) as it is red and speedy just like Lombo!?!?! (yes we do need to get out more!)

Yeah, it was a replacement for a rubbish Clio. The 206 spent more time in the shop having bits replaced under warranty until we could no more and replaced it with a cheap used Kia Mentor which went on and on and was actually a decent motor, just no cred.

Frech wine is good, French Food is good, French cars - not so much.

My 206 had at least 2 safety recalls and my dad told me today that his 307 has just had a safety recall on it too! Have to agree that French cars are pretty damn bad!

I have a 2000 Citroen Xantia. I call it 'shed', my brother calls me 'grandad' for driving it.

My wife has a purple fiesta, which I call 'the ribenaberry'.

Not seen a nitro on the roads round here yet, the PT Cruisers were pretty popular for a while.. The rest of the Chrysler/Dodge family seem to have hit when they bought Daewoo. We see ads - some quite obviously ported straight over from the american telly - now all the time. I'm sure Sean Bean does a voiceover for one of the diesel 4x4 ads though, so they are trying
