Do you give your cars names? My current fleet is (somewhat unimaginitively):
Lexy the Lexus
Olive the Volvo
Cleo the Clio
Dipsy the Jaguar (bit of a drinker)
...and past friends have included:
Lucy the Toyota Estima
Mitzi the Mitsubishi Sigma
Gordon the Granada
Hearne the Hunter

My first car, a Triumph 1300, was called Hilary after my favourite barmaid :)
Can I help?

    Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam
  • 05 Kia Cerato known as Bess Ann :D
  • 1974 VW Campervan - Bungle
    1985 Renault 4 - Ruby (she is red)

    Previous cars:-

    1963 VW Type 3 Squareback - Helga
    1986 Chevrolet Caprice Station Wagon - Woody (he had the wood effect down the sides)

    Any modern cars we have owned have never had names but somehow naming our classics is compulsory!

    No names. It's a car. Do you have a name for your washing machine?

    My pal had a orangey red Renault 5 he bought after passing his driving test.

    It was affectionately known to all as a word rhyming with 'kitemobile'.

    I refer to mine as the crabmobile but only on this forum. If I were to call it that in public I may give the wrong impression :eek: :o
