Oh, I don't know, @DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops, it's a slippery slope!

I have had a car called Grover, current one is Boxy and I am about to get a new car I have nicknamed Lill’ Blue (as it’s smaller than my current car and will be blue).

I call it the silver one to distinguish it from the green one which I still own but have lent to a friend
They are both the same model of VW just silver one is newer

Mumminmum · 26/08/2018 21:19

the Blue Lightning (not because it is that fast, but because the other car is old and slow)

ItsClemFandangoCanYouHearMe · 26/08/2018 21:20

Ours is called Gaston

Gillian1980 · 26/08/2018 21:21

We’re very boring, all ours have been referred to by their make or model. “The focus” “the Citroen” etc.

My car Confused
Although I used to get a lift from a girl i worked with in the 80s, she called her car ‘Batty’

Longdistance · 26/08/2018 21:23

I call mine the Merc. Dh’s is your car, or ‘are we going in your Merc or my car?’ Not very imaginative I’m afraid.

Rhonda ( the Honda)

Keko Japanese for hope

My last car was called Barney. However I have now had my new car for over a year and can't find a name which fits and it's annoying me.

My husband's car is called pop

Pascha · 26/08/2018 21:30

DH's is called the Jalopy or Shabbawagon. It's an old heap of rusty shite.

Mine doesn't have a name. The last car I had with a name was Kenneth (good car), who replaced YouBastard (broke down a lot).

My grandad got me my first car, and he named it Genevieve Smile
My current one is a Clio named Carlos Grin
