Current one is Peggy. Previous cars were Heidi, Audrey and Suzi. All named to go with the manufacturers name as you can probably guess.

The Range Rover / The Truck / The BM

Hamish. He's lovely. Also gets 'the bus' if I'm taking the family out.

ToothTrauma · 27/08/2018 15:27

Finn. Previous one was Wesley.

HashTagLil · 27/08/2018 15:27

Boris. Previous car was a girl but was called Dave.

Augustus. Gus for short. Came about because he's a Focus... When said stupidly sounds a bit like Fo-gus... Gus.

Wolowitz (after Howard in the BBT)

My cars have all been male.

And I always try and park near other cars of the same make (if not model) so they can 'chat' )

Yes I would absolutely say that I've got to drop Rocco off for his service today. Why not?

stevie69 · 27/08/2018 17:16

My car. People who name their car are wierd

Twiggy. And ..... of course I'm weird: goes hand in had with the 'odd' and 'creepy' I got called last week (for admitting to having a bit of a thing for younger men) Grin

Scientistic · 27/08/2018 17:33

@70isalimit that is amazing. I am going to attempt that from now on.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 27/08/2018 17:36

Hyacinth. This is because she has the most sensitive front and rear parking sensors ever, so if anyone walks on the pavement alongside the car, or pulls up beyond us at the lights, she thinks we have crashed, beeps madly and shows a little picture of a crashed car. It reminds us of Keeping Up Appearances where Hyacinth Bucket keeps telling her husband to mind the pedestrian!

Laureline · 27/08/2018 17:47

Titine.
It’s French, so pronounced “teeteene”.
Apparently half the cars in France are named like that Grin

plominoagain · 27/08/2018 17:55

When you log into the Mytoyota website , it actually asks you for your car’s name .

So we have Boris the Yaris , and Hetty the Hybrid !

whiskeysourpuss · 27/08/2018 19:17

So after seeing my new car beside another much manlier looking the same I've decided she's girl after all... so will be called Heidi

SteviaStephanie · 27/08/2018 19:23

Just “the Bugatti” or “the Bentley”, they don’t have actual names.

(* May contain 100% bullshit Grin)

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 27/08/2018 19:29

Pinkie. On account ot the colour. Previous car was called Joyce.

ivykaty44 · 27/08/2018 21:18

Stevia your acting all new money not giving the car a name 😉

Armchairanarchist · 27/08/2018 21:22

DH calls my car Freddie. It's a Kuga.

Toddlerteaplease · 27/08/2018 21:40

Hamish the Hyundai

FairyDogMother11 · 27/08/2018 22:15

Mine is called Margot, she's my first car and she is a black Ford Focus. My best friend has a matching one in red and her one is called Vera Grin

oakthorn · 28/08/2018 12:57

@pigsdofly yep even our company workshop email me and say "Norman is due for service Oakthorn" Grin

Sailinghappy · 28/08/2018 13:02

This can’t be real?!!! Why would you call your car anything other than “the car”??? How unbelievably embarrassing if people are doing this in real life - cringey in the extreme! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

M3lon · 28/08/2018 13:10

My cars are called Ice-cream and Giant-bluey. To be fair they were named by my DD.

Rockbird · 28/08/2018 13:17

The only one cringing is you Saling

lunatunes · 28/08/2018 13:24

My current one is princess glitter sparkles. She is a very mucky work van. We have previously had a Dirk, Arthur, Betty and a suck head bread head (all named by my son).
