To think the world is divided into two sorts of people...

...those who name and/or 'decorate' their car, and normal people?

Be careful. The way I said it, it's a tautology or something I don't know the name of. If they've had their coffee, they might notice!

Duly noted.

tilly I never heard that joke before it really made me laugh, thanks!!

All cars have personality! DP and I call my car mario as it's like driving a go kart (they call it ladybug at work as it's black and red). DP's car is Bess - not really sure why.

Not decorated though unless you count a Yankee candle air freshener!

The exception to this rule is the third doctors 'Bessie'

I will accept that exception, Snapespeare. The Doctor rulez.

I secretly love the lashes, but realise that actually the only car that should have them is a Beetle.

We don't name cars usually, but when we got our new car (well second hand) we parked it in the car park and I joked to dds that we might not be able to recognise it, so they made up a mnemonic to the number plate - similar to Jumping Cow 21 Loves His Grass.

The car is now known as Jumping Cow. The thing is that the JC seems to be common aroudn here, so we are always seeing Cows brothers and sisters 'Look mummy there is another Jumping Cow'

(whispers - I don't get the binary -high 101 joke, can someone explain it to me please)

The number 5 expressed in binary = 101. So it's a high-five.

My car is called Bessie because she's a messy Bessie (ie I'm a lazy fucker and life's too short too Hoover a bloody car)
But I think if cars like boats... They're all female and all named.
I've had Nerys, Nigel, Sherman, Piece Of Shit Max, and now Bessie
(And yes, I'm aware of the gender identity problems, bit you're looking at the household with a female gerbil called Jethro and a DD who wants a male rabbit she can call Stephanie)

P.s. Decorating? People decorate cars? I stuck a dinosaur eating a fish on the back (cheers, Darwin) but that's as far as I go...

My car has no name and has never been decorated, but it does talk...

steppemum... My Mum's car (Nigel) had the licence plate MWL, or Mummy's Wobbly Legs. I've never forgotten that one.

And yes, she does

it is actually quite useful, there are a couple of places I go where I have to give my reg plate if I park in the carpark, and I can never remember it.

Now I just go Jumping Cow 21 etc etc
