What do you call your car?

[WaterOffaDucksCrack]

I call mine Mavis....She's mature

All my cars have had names, my first was Meggy (Renault megane coupe), then I had Hubble (Honda civic), followed by Tiff (MG TF) and Peg (mini convertible). Our current cars are Millie (Mini Cooper S convertible who is off road poorly) and Flash (big blue Quashquai) also occasionally called Baymax as he is not fast

Christopher because it's a Renault
DH's is called that low-down dirty van, because it is.

My husband's is called Danny (its green) and mine is David (grey) 😝

My brother used to have a red honda called Rhonda.

We have a Volvo called Vincent (French accent obligatory).

DS (4) also refers to it as the 'trusty steed'.

The car.

Never thought to give a car a name - and afaik no one I know does either unless they're too embarrassed to admit to naming a car.

I used to call my Mini Cooper "little coops"

What is it about naming cars? Like cliffdiver I don't know anyone who has given their car a name. It seems rather childish to me.

So? Do we have to be dull 24/7 once we hit 21?

Cliff and Lonic, did you really just come on here to piss on people’s chips? If you don’t like it, feel free not to comment on a nice, lighthearted thread. Feel free to FTFO and discuss pension arrangements or some other suitably grown-up subject. I’ll bet you’re fun at parties

My first car was a white Peugeot 106 called Pegotty, it really suited her

Current car is a blue Golf called Danny, but seeing Rocco, would actually suit him better

Mum Truck pretty much sums it up

First car was Ruby, because she was red.

Current one is Larissa, the Nissan Leaf.

My mum is 62 & names her cars... every one of them has been Betsy she's not exactly inventive albeit she is clearly childish

Nefer (She's a TT)

Who cares if it's childish? What's so great about being an adult?

DS always asks people what their cars are called. He gets v confused if they don't have a name.

Lassie- coz she started beeping at me in a "Timmy is stuck in the well" kind of way to inform me that I had left the lights on. My previous car didn't do that.

My first car had blacked out windows (not my choice!) and DH thought it looked like a Russian mafia car. We called it Sergei.

Our current one is metallic blue and looks like a flashy madam, so we call her Veronica

Sparky (Chevrolet Spark).
The predecessor was Tizzy (Daewoo Matiz).
Husband has a people carrier we call "The Van".

I'm amazed at how many people name their cars. Do you actually use the name as in 'I'm taking Doris for her MOT today'?

The first time I came across someone naming a car was when I had a rather nice white sporty number and the man I was seeing at the time insisted on referring to her as 'the white lady'. Irritated the hell out of me and sounded utterly stupid coming from a fully grown man when he was referring to a an inanimate object. The annoying thing was that he insisted on using the name despite the fact that I never once called it that.

I don't name other things I own either: tv, fridge, cooker, house, laptop etc all remain unnamed. I just call them what the are, and in the case of my car it's simply called my car.

we had a mini cooper called Mary, sheldon seemed too obvious.

i said to dh about the ford not having a name, he said it's because none of us like it and it smells.

DD's car is called Geoff, and the one before was Sergio. Both numberplate related.

The pug or the skip depends if the kids have trashed it lately

First Lola, then Nina, now I have a Brian.

My George Foreman grill is always called George as in "get George out please?"

Baymax. Partly because it's a B-MAX, but also because I'm satisfied with its care.
