Firkindolloper Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Morning guys, After a bad night's kip I thought I would share the experience that led to it so please bear with me.... I was in bed have a quick scan of the Auto Express Mag and I just happened to mention the stupid naming of cars of 2017. My mrs likes cars - she doesn't have much choice really - so she joined in. Then it started....... She likes to gives all her cars (and mine) a name. I won't tell you what her car is called but my daily is a Shogun SWB that I refer to as The Truck - she calls it Mitsi. My Zed is Zed to me so no surprise there but she wanted to name it. I thought I would keep the peace and maybe profit from a bit of in bed entertainment in a few minutes so I asked for suggestions. Her first suggestion was Molly (Yuck) and my response was Terminator. Next was Jilly! Chuffin Jilly? It is a Zed not a horse. Then it became annoying. Names of Zara, Hayley quickly followed but cancelled out by me suggesting Arnie, Black Adder and even Lemmy (to give it a rock n roll name). So I said no more it is Zed end of. Apparently I have no soul so it was good night and she turned over. Oh well. no nookie for me but at least I saved Zed from a life a shame. I went back to my Auto Express and the crappy car names...... Have any of you had the naming experience? 3 Quote
Irn Bru Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Lol know your pain.... We've got names for ours....The Zed is the Zed, then there Joobs for the Pathfinder because of her reg number J10OBS, the Jeep Commander is Jeeps, not very orginal I know and the Astra Twintop convertible is new to us so not settled on a name for her yet, but I dare say the missus will win that one !!!

BobbyZ Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 It's things like this that make me happy to be single 2 Quote
colesl4w Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Lol mine is called Norm (the Nissan). Helps me not be too mad at it when something breaks. Quote
Randy_Baton Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 The Zed is the Zed, then there Joobs for the Pathfinder because of her reg number J10OBS, the Jeep Commander is Jeeps, n These are all fine,as you've got terms of reference, there just an easier way of referring to something. But giving completely arbitrary names 1 Quote
Jetpilot Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 A chap meets a girl in a bar and starts chatting, he asks her name, she replies Carmen, he replies what i lovely name, she says thank you and its rather apt too as its my two favourite things in life, cars and men, she asks his name, Beerpussy..... Moral of the story, men dont get involved with names.... 1 Quote
-G- Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 The white Zed. The black Zed. The 500, the abarth, the 380, the celica. Zero imagination in my house. Before she met me the missus called her yellow Micra "Bumblebee" 1 Quote
Bandit Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) One of my neighbours a very busty gardener drives a pickup its know as Percy Pickup or when it wont start in the morning its commonly referred to at the top of her voice as Percy F***ck up..!! Edited January 8, 2017 by Bandit Quote
Blocko Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 My zed gets referred to as the blow job car. Not because it gets me any but rather because the number plate starts BJ 😩 A past gf had a green rover that she called Grover which I actually thought was good. My mum calls her car jinxy. No reason for it. Other than those I've escaped having to put up with car names pretty well. Quote
Willsy1980 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Haha, well mine is called Kylie. After the great little Aussie treat of course. What better than whipping the top off and getting to work on that arse end action 1 Quote
GMballistic Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 I'm doing this more & more lately but I'm with Ekona on this. Never have I named a car or any vehicle, ...just ridiculous to me but you guys crack on if it makes you happy. I've also never called my cars "she" as I here a lot of people doing that. 1 Quote
ChrisB Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 My Aussie wife, through jealousy, named my Zed 'Precious' due to the unnatural obsession* I got when supercharging. Since last May, she's emigrated back to Oz without me... the idea being I follow on when the time is right, leaving** Precious behind.. Pwwrreecioussss.. * perfectly reasonable - blokes need projects, no? ** virtually impossible to import into oz modified post 1988 cars anyway.. Quote
docwra Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 The MR2 = Mister 2. Her 207 = Sir Puglington. I had nothing to do with these decisions. 3 Quote

mattross1313 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Other than my first 2 fiesta's most of my cars have had names. White MR2 turbo called Lily, as it's white. I wanted to call it Barry but the misses didn't approve. Supra was called Suki. 350 was Bella. Lexus turbo was called Penny, from The Big Bang Theory. As they are both gorgeous! Eldest Daughter does not appear to have a name for her MR2 MX5 sold already? Or you having a senior moment? 1 Quote
