Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hello all. From reading some posts, some of you have names for your car. I was wondering why you call them what you do. Mine is Buttercup because of the colour and I thought a nice girly name suited the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Colonial Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Mine is well known as The Wench - Lady Chair named it on first sight. It's called The Wench because it's fast, loud, flashy, drinks a lot, smoked a bit (before I changed the valve stem seals), likes a bit of rough, sulks if not paid attention to on a regular basis, and if you're inside her for too long, your goes numb.

Tricky Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 " The flying pram " named by my Dad cos it turned him into a jibbering wreck after a nippyish run out over woodhead and back over the snake passes "It's just like being in a runaway pram", consequently he's not been it since.

Paul Gibney - Lancashire AO Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 my wife calls it a roller skate ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M444TTB Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Just 'The Westfield'. It's always an 'it' too. No him or her references. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooch Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Early name was Wendy. As in "Wendy car is finished, it will be very nice". Wife calls it Brum after the kids TV show. I've been known to call her Willomena Westfield. No idea why, but we've had Esmerelda Escort, Claris Yaris and Giggles Galant before now, so there's some previous history. I need therapy.....

Westford Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Mines called Winky, named so by my mate as apparently I'm always playing with it! Westford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisme Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Westfield = "Westie" (the "ie" is important for some unknown reason). My wife calls it "THAT Westfield") Land Rover Defender = "Bumble" ('cos it does) Skoda Fabia = "Skud" (not because it's a missile !) older vehicles.... Lotus Elan = "Lettuce" Capri 3ltr = "Roofy" (no idea ether though the current urban dictionary says it's slang for a date rape pill - in my day you just flashed your 3ltr Capri at them and that was it ) Horse Box (Iveco 7.5ton) ="Yorkie" (don't all lorry drivers eat them?)
