Car names

[Lil-Steve]

Oooooh Violetta that is a nice name; sounds dark and sophisticated but still hint of porn star.

[Aubec]

Um... we call it Rex.  Not massively imaginative.  We call the Mini, Mini.  And the Volvo, Volvo.  I suspect if I bought a Range Rover it would be Rangie, and if I bought a Jaguar it would be "The Jag"

But the Fiat500 is my wife\'s so its called Ruby for obvious reasons.

EDIT: Not that obvious if I forget to mention it\'s red... doh.

I never named my Nova properly it was refered to by friends and my self as \'the Nove\' the FC egi never really got a name other than \'the rex\' the was a pattern emerging but then my first 106 gti was so much hassle I sold it in weeks and never bonded. The second one I had for 2+ years was referred to as \'pugo\' although the mrs used to make new names up for it everyday.

As most of you know I haven\'t met my TII yet but have provisionally named her \'Roxy\' going with the \'puggo\' theme being close to the cars name or make and \'Roxy\' has both the letters \'R\' and \'X\' in.

Not creative I know but effective!

Foul :p! Plagiarism

Foul :p! Plagiarism

There\'s no way she\'s read your work! (Because it was named by my 3 year old)

For the first few weeks we called our Xtype Jaguar "The Jag"; now it\'s called the Enterprise, part from the aircraft carrier and part Star Trek.
 
Fast, quiet, powerful (relative term) comfortable and steers like a 342m long boat.

Yeah, you\'re weird lol :rollin

My wife\'s feelthy Hahhhhhhnda is called Rastas. Not through any spurious racism, but it\'s because that\'s what his number plate spells. Her old (whispers) Renault was called Uncle Jaffa because... that\'s what his number plate spelled. Can you see a pattern emerging lol :confused:

Well, I can say one thing... I\'m not using my plate to name mine! LOL
but I must say, when it doesn\'t start or the battery has been drained again, it probably gets prety confused with the amount of names I throw at it in the space of a minute!! LOL

Ah, but there are 342m long boats and 342m long boats, although an aircraft carrier would always be referred to as a ship because it\'s a commissioned warship, you don\'t call them warboats.  I haven\'t ever been aboard an American Aircraft carrier, but I\'ve drive the (only remaining) British Aircraft carrier several times and she handles very well.  400m turning circle and stopping distance from top speed (Imagine turning an RX7  180  degrees at 150 mph in twice its own length or stopping in the same distance) and when I was on there it had it\'s own squadron of strike jets.

[DJ Tommo]

My car is called \'Charlie\' because its a unisex name. Although its definately a boy, he\'s got a flamboyant style and is in touch with his feminine side. :chat lol

Cheers

[Will66]

So you\'re car is a meterosexual?

[Jojo]

Ralph is called Ralph because his engine goes Ralph Ralph Ralph Ralph Ralph (well, when he isn\'t throwing a water spraying too hot hissy fit anyway)!
 
Polo is called Geraldine, she is the first girl car I\'ve ever had and I dunno why she\'s called that...it just suits her.  The homicidal golf\'s name has been wiped from my memory as he doesn\'t deserve a name after running me over and my first car was called Crispen because at the time I had 2 crushes on 2 famous blokes, one named Christian and one named Ben.  Simples!!

[DJ Tommo]

Judging by the episode of South Park i watched last night titled "South Park is gay" , yes that would be an appropriate term

Cheers

Tom

[EDIT] my Honda Prelude i called Joey, my Golf VR6 is called Gerald. My GTO was called Buddy. I just name my cars from their behavior and looks

[Recoy2k]

My 200sx was called damien due to the fact he was the son of the devil and kept trying to kill me, my new fd is called Thor at the moment because when I finish I want it to sound like thunder but that could change once its done

[Ada7]

My car is called T-rex, Rexy for... well its not short, just easier. :p
In him lives Beaky and Lady Beaky... the Penguins.
My daily drive is called Bernadette as she\'s a little dirty french thing (Pug 306 diesel)
I have a table called Dave (seriously) and my TV is called Stevie.
A few of my Guitars are named Honey, Maple and Cherry (the others are un-named as yet) and i have an amp called Moe, as he looks like the small cleaning droid on Wall:e

And i\'m not on medication :o

Well, i just call my cars bigBeemer and little Beemer.

I had Ford Sierra. I used to call it just lots of Fin curse words. Mostly because it was crap and because of numberplate.

Also i had Audi Coupe, and numberplate spelled "paintbrush".

My brothers rx-7 is called Mankeli, comes from Mazda and Wankel...
