I only name some cars, the ones I like!

Current car is called Dilys. Previous 2 weren't named (nightmare cars!) Car before that was called Hank. No idea why

beargryllshasabigrope · 26/08/2018 21:59

The big one, because we have a big one and a little one.

Cassini.

An homage to the space probe because it was bought on the same day that Cassini was burnt up in Saturn's atmosphere.

I love naming cars! I've had:

Harry Percy (black nissan micra)
Jarvis (white renault 19)
Lucifer (red renault 19)
Vinnie (green rover 216)
Nigel (red vauxhall astra)

and my husband drives:

Kenny the Squirt (white kia picanto)
Keith (grey kia niro, our current car)

I love driving but due to an eye condition I no longer can Sad I've dedicated myself to being the best back seat driver out there, though! Grin

I have a grey Subaru and welcome any name suggestions.

Goes like a goer especially in snow.

bottledatsource · 26/08/2018 22:32

The black whip. It's black and a 2 litre and doesn't do any crazy shit like turning the wipers or lights on when you don't bloody need them.
