What Nicknames Do You Give Your Car?
 

Ok, so I have always given my cars nicknames... I know lots of people do, and some refer to their car as male or female to, so what cars have you had and what names did you give them?

Here are few of mine:

Volvo 850 T5-R (Male) 'Viking'
Lancer GL Rental (Male) 'Ron Burgundy' or just 'Ron'
Sierra Sapphire Cosworth 4x4 (Male) 'Saffa'
Lexus LS400 (Male) 'Fat Jap'
Corsa 1.2 (Female) 'Betsy'
Nissan 200sx S14a Turbo (Female) 'Silvia'
Nova SR (Female) 'Shep'
Rover 620 GSi Turbo (Male) 'Big Dog'
Audi S2 Turbo (Male) 'Herflic'
Range Rover Vogue (Male) 'Rangey'

Disco "The ****ing Bitch" if you've ever owned a discovery you'll know why

Re: What Nicknames Do You Give Your Car?
 

....so true - only one name for a Disco - %$@*&^. Has anyone ever owned a second one do you think?

My first car was a white mini-van - christened her 'Geraldine'.

Never quite worked out why.

FFS.

How gay is that? Giving your car a nickname? Man up, you set of ponces.

A car is a car, and it doesn't have a 'gender' either, its not a 'she', its piece of metal. The number of times I've heard men drivers go on about 'ooh she drives beautifully...'. Its a f.cuking car. It is an 'it' ,not a 'she' and neither does it need a nickname.

Feel better pet?

all our cars are referred to as Dobbin... apart from our new one in the UK, which is just our car. Our hire cars are definitely Dobbins.

Original Dobbin was a C-reg Maestro... ahh, what a beast.

You have obviously never had a special bond with a car then, I have had some cars that were my real pride and joy, I put lots of time and money into them and had lots of pleasure driving them, the Volvo for example, used to get some fantastic comments from people who just couldn't believe how clean he was, and how fast he was for a 4dr family car, like the Posrche Carerra Driver who couldn't keep up with me on the M5 and followed me into the services just to tell me how amazed he was that he'd just been rinsed by a Volvo, happy days...:)

I forgot about my Maestro(s) - Had an old Y reg Maestro Vanden Plas (Used to talk to me to, and had digital clocks) then I had an MG Maestro 2.0EFi both I referred to as bags of complete shit.

Didn't have a name for first car - a red Anglia with the registration PMS666, but my mates called it "the devil's car" or the "red bitch". It was a hand-me-down from my Dad who bought the car for GBP1,000 less because of the registration (many people just wouldn't buy it) ! :D
