I havent named mine, but I know two people on here who have - one car is called Cedric and the other is called Jasmine

 

Russell the Honda

 

VW named "EOR" (pronounced Eeyore like out of Winnie the Pooh).

 

B*stard when it won't start

 

Mines called Betty or Betts

 

I havent named mine, but I know two people on here who have - one car is called Cedric and the other is called Jasmine

THAT would be MY baby boy..... :001_wub:

He's a 1.6 Kia C'eed hence CEDRIC!!!

Claire the Clio here

 

No, though we always used to name my parents cars. We have named my partners car Harry Honda but my car is nameless

 

Years ago I had a Vauxhall Astra Estate and although it did not have a name, the number plate was not one I would have chosen - the car was given to me by my parents - hmm, wonder why?!

The number plate read M***UFF :blushing:

It wasn't until some well meaning friend told me what it could be interpreted as - I wish I'd never known!!

I had a Fiat Panda which only had a name when it refused to start - Poxy!!

*Ranting :cursing:* "POXY PANDA!!!"

 

Yes, always.

My first car was Greenie
Currently my OH's car is called The Trommel (which means "trunk", like a storage trunk because it is sort of squarish) and my car is called "Bakkens" because it is what is known as a "bakkie" (like a UTI in OZ)
We never refer to them as "the car", only by their given names

 

I don't, but I know someone who calls their car Puff the Tragic Wagon!

What is this? Me being a bit dense!

 

Mines is called Ally .

 

Not now

But I named my first car AJ
Mainly after Ben Affleck in armageddon (who I was obsessed wth lol) :laugh:
And also cos it's my initials

 

What is this? Me being a bit dense!

Oh dear! I think I misspelled: a UTI is a urinary track infection!!!! I think the spelling is ute. But in any case, my "bakkie" looks like this (handy for cat trapping etc)

I suppose the equivalent would be a small truck, but the US "truck" is usually a ginormous thing, isn't it? Mine is small, only a half ton. In SA, a "truck" is a lorry.

 

Yes, mine is called Charlie (toyota yaris) because every time the number plate reg was repeated by the insurance company they called him yankie charlie monkey He certainly lives up to the name monkey sometimes as he has his quirks with the strange semi auto gear box.

 

Woody here.
His full name in tanglewood but he just gets called woody

 

Roo ....... The Nissan Navara


&

Tosca ...... TVR Tuscan

 

Yes, we do, though I don't have a car. OH's is Victor & Daughters is Reo.
My push bikes years ago were Speedwell & Black Aggie.
Sons m/bike was Tiger, it had a customised pic of one on the tank.

 

I have always named my cars and they are always boys name, my current car is Fernado - Seat Ibiza FR and my previous Polo was called Vlad, but my all time favourite was Trevor a white Toyota Starlet, the worst is a toss up between Manfred - SLK he let himself down badly when he trapped the cable to control moving the seat backwards and forwards, and Colin - Corolla he main issue was that he was red and I really dislike red cars ut:

It did occur to me that 'UTI' stood for Urinary Tract Infection' but didn't like to say or make fun for fear of offending you - but thank you for enlightening me on this

I have googled this and now know the definition of 'ute' is 'vehicle with a cargo well'

 

Oh good - I'm so glad it's not just me . . . I don't feel quite so 'nuts' now ut:

 

:lol: I was gonna mention about the UTI

I did name my two previous cars - my Rover had KWC in the numberplate so I called it Kez's Wicked Car (I wont tell you what my SIL said those letters stood for )

My Cavalier was L ***UBY, so she was called Looby Loo

The plate on my current car is FYU..... :lol:

You do realise that you may have started a 'guess what these stand for?' thread!!
