rabbitstew Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 My lad calls my 997 Sally Porsche. Simply cos of that 996 in the Cars film is called Sally. Quote
Blue Straggler Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 My 350Z is called J-Lo for a few reasons Long in the tooth but still sexy High-maintenance but not too diva Famously slightly bulbous rear end Japanese and low Springs the occasional leak :-D Quote
Blue Straggler Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Previously my Kia Cee'd was Kim Jong because it had KJ in the registration and was Korean (and red!) Before that, the MG ZTT was Humphrey because of HMF in the registration (and Humphrey seemed a suitable name for a dressed-up Werthers Original Rover 75 estate) Couple of nondescript Vauxhalls before that, which I didn't bother naming. Before that, a VW Polo Saloon called Alison because I got my friend Alison from the band Saloon to autograph it, for some reason. Although I soon dropped the name in favour of "crappy money pit" Quote
Sized Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Yep we got names Zed = Zebedee M135i = Bobby (the beemer) Fiesta = Vroomz (plate ends in VMZ) All given lots of thought for all of 10 seconds haha Quote
Ekona Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Jo used to call the 911 'Adolf' and the ugly MX5 'Igor'. Her Impreza is called 'Betty Beast', and my car 'Beemo'. Quote
Strudul Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Have any of you had the naming experience? No. Jo used to call the 911 'Adolf' and the ugly MX5 'Igor'. Her Impreza is called 'Betty Beast', and my car 'Beemo'. Well that didn't take long. 3 Quote

Flex Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Have any of you had the naming experience? No. Jo used to call the 911 'Adolf' and the ugly MX5 'Igor'. Her Impreza is called 'Betty Beast', and my car 'Beemo'. Well that didn't take long. Actually 5 days on an internet forum is an eternity. Quote
Ekona Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Plus, it would've ruined the joke if I'd just said yes in the first place Quote
Jay84 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 For some reason my girls feel pixie is OK for the zafira. My old astra was Bambi due to understeer issues. Not named the zed yet. Quote
ASemper Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 My 350 has ended up with 'DinoZaur' after I got the rear window louvre as it reminded my mate of the ridges on the back of a dinosaur 😆 Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote
mattross1313 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 After much deliberating on a name whilst waiting for the new Z to arrive, my sister suggested Gizmo, which has stuck! Good car name I think, and a subtle (I joke) play on words for Nismo and Zed Quote
celiabaker Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Being a Girl I've called my cars boy names. 350z is Kevin. Civic is Frank. 205 is Phill. Hehe I like it! Edited February 13, 2017 by celiabaker Quote
