What's yours called?

[Dustydog]

Do you have a name for your vehicle?

Our tug is "lancaster Bomber".

Big and cumbersome but carries a heavy load and she is a SHE.

I notice Emmerson refers to his RRs as SHE.

Why do most men use the female gender about cars?

Cheers

Good thread

We used to call our first van 'Christine' after the car in the horror film.

Everytime out with the van on the back, we used to get lost, even on trips we'd done solo for many years. We used to blame the van on having a mind of its own.

Many years ago Mrs Chrisbee owned a Lada (yes, we've heard all the jokes). The "L" fell off the badge so of course from then on it was refered to as "Ada".

I've never named our vehicles, but two Range Rovers ago, my grandson refered to our then car as "wacky", cos the plate was WAC. The last one ( now sadly deceased - see towcars "sad day"), was white, so Herself clled her Lily. Her replacement as of yesterday is to be called Jiminy, cos the plate is GYM.

The Royale caravan is called Regina, what else?

The Volvo is The Blob, cos the plate is BLB.

As far as I'm concerned, what they are called depends on my mood and their behaviour!

 

[Gagakev]

sorry cant join in on this one,

why? I hear you ask.

Well a few months ago I referred to my van as --- She

Boy, did I get some STICK.

But please carry on it makes interesting reading.

 

[RegandPat]

The van no name yet.

Last car was Jo.

New car Brutus, named by Pat not me, as it is a brute to drive.

Would like to call the van Angel as she was heaven sent.

Reg thats what they named me.

"the van" and "dad's car"

Cars etc. are always referred to as 'she' because they are expensive to maintain and also depreciate fast.

Now back in the corner singing to myself :O)

 

[ValA.]

Our van is Speedy - short for Speedbird.

Our care is Widey - because of the registration number, which if read out would be Widey's 4 wheel Drive! OK, it probably only makes sense to me and OH! BUT - those who flog 'Personal Registrations would be able to interpret it!

hi all

never really had any names for vehicles or vans however the motor home was allways refered to as the "BUS" as it was originally converted from a 18seater mini bus had no power steering and reminded us of the double decker used in the film "summer holiday" the only other thing we have a name for is the satnav which is called "maureen" as the voice on it sounds like maureen lipman.

ho and I nearly forgot about the old pontiac firebird with a dodgy starter and poor brakes that I named "betty" after a old girlfriend because it was hard to get going and even harder to stop.

Our 05 plate Hyundai is called the big beast as the grill area looks like a big beasts mouth( according to grandkids)

 

[Surfer]

Never got to grips with people giving a lump of metal a name. I think it is totally weird but gives me a good laugh. Each to their own I guess.

 

[Mikey1]

We once had a Clio Williams which my wife called Flo Jo after the sprinter (good in the bends)

We seem to be lucky with car reg's and call our calls by what they spell,present R0SYVET
