Samantha, because she told me that was her name. (dark green, registration starts "SG").

I used to have a R19 called "the shed", because it was, and a Xantia called Spock because of having a circulatory system with dark green fluid flowing round it.

Miss Octavia Grey

No i couldt disagree more!

Cars have personalities, and mood swings (breaking down) and good moods (when it puts a smile on your face)

I remember my Golf used to get moody, i used to drive up a steep hill everyday from work, some days it wouldt want to go anywhere and just potter up slowly (nothing wrong with it!) other days it would fly up like it had a rocket up its arse haha ok maybe i am just sounding crazy but i do get attached to my cars

Yeah I do agree, Beryl definitely has mood swings. Cyril is so called because he'd Beryls brother, when I looked at his V5 I found that he'd been sold by the same garage as Beryl 63 days after she was. Being off my trolley I rang the garage & asked if they would've been on the premises at the same time. 'Seems likely that they would' was his reply. So...... seperated from Birth & living in different parts of the country to be reunited on my piece of mud that I call a driveway. Fate I tell you! Fate! I'm not mad I'm not mad I'm not mad ......... :rofl:

SWMBO has named the last few. We have had 'Marmaduke', then 'Colin' and we currently own 'Shifty'

Skoda = Joda

Polo = Jolo

RX-8 = Jazda (not gay at all...)

Golf = Jolf, or "boring, bland, wallowy slow thing".

Can see a theme going on there based on my name, Joe.

I've names my friends Roomster Rory!

And my current Fabia is called Dash - because he's a little bit faster than my previous Fabia - Boho! (Bohemia) lol....

It's the subtle pat on the steering wheel once you've done your journey saying good boy or girl to your car!!!

because it's done you proud! haha... adds a little more fun to life I guess, car's are metal objects yes, but I like to think they get moody, happy, etc

or if you havent seen your car for a while you say hello to it!

it's like after a washing the car I like to think the car is happier that's why it drives smoother - phycological I know lol.. :p

I've got a rallye green fabia vrs coming in a few weeks and gonna call it yoda

then maybe it'll use the force to get through traffic hehe

I usually name a car based on its number plate

A bmw 325 i had was L996RYG so was Larry G however my new Octy has a plate that means nothing!! Been thinking about a name based on Octy(pus) or soemthing but i feel if you force a name it doesnt work. I was thinking Vera for the VRs bit!

As no-one else has said it, I will!

I call my car "BABY"... Because it wont go anywhere without a rattle!

Was gonna call it Labia, just the one letter change, but something diferent all together... I wont say why!

Edited 24 January, 201214 yr by mrgf

BTW, all Vrs' should be called the Skud... Cos they go like a missile!

Black Betty/Disastra = Astra.

Andi the Landy...needs no explaining, surely?

The Roomster is called 'George' after no one in particular, the children thought it and the name stuck.

Swmbo's Mazda is called 'Elvis' as the car goes like a song

I haven't named my cars in the past but my current Octavia has been christened Elsie - which comes from the reg number which is LC60***. We call our Fabia vRS 'the Fabia'.
