I don't know if it's relevant to the men, but I've always named my cars.

Names I have used have been -

My 1973 Toledo is called Tolly
Had an MGBGTV8 which was called Betty
Had a 1972 Triumph 1500 (FWD) which was always breaking down - This was called the Blue Bone
A Triumph 2500S 1976 (with Stag Wheels) was called the Yellow Peril (this was bright yellow in colour)

If I don't get any posts, I'll know all you male members of OOF are hard nosed, and too butch to call your cars anything.  

Like to know what the Ladies call theirs too.

I'd like to bet some of the men of OOF have pink cars

I think you'll find us men call our cars all kinda names, especially when they break

The Elite is named Margret.. or Maggy
The estate is named Tiffany

Some are too bizzare to name!

1st car (red corsa) was called the ladybug (not MY choice, named by the then gf)
2nd car (corsa gsi) called by me as 'the bucket' as it only had a bucketseat and harness for the interior..
3rd car (Omega GLS) called the pimp wagon
and current Elite is called the Boat (although I'm still yet to float test it...)

Men call cars girls and womens names because they are unpredictable,tempremental  and could have a complete breakdown at any moment.

OK, here goes:

850 cc mini called Vicki (Lord knows why)
Morris 1100 called Victor Hugo ( call sign in a previous life)
BMC JU250 (iirc) called the Buzzwagon

After that stopped naming them, til the Elite, which I call Gnu (reg. letters)

My first car was a D reg fiesta which we called Fester as it was rotten as a pear!
Second car was a 1.3 golf which we called Go Go Golf as it needed all the encouragement it could get!
My cav was called Betsy.
My meegas havent got names but both are female!
I call Jimbobs MV6 Tiger!

swmbo & sisters-in-law were trying to name the mig when I bought it with some female names.

But theres nothing feminine about a black V6 with black leather so its referred to as "the beast"

[TheBoy]

My car is referred to as 'my car'

[Darth Loo-knee]

My MV6 is called................................Vader

[HolyCount]
