What do you call your car and why.


Recommended Posts

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.

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 :arse: goes numb.

z4= the Z (said zed) or the bimmer

 

swmbo's 106 = the lean green death machine cos its a deathtrap that despite my best efforts wont blimmin do one.

 

older cars

 

sierra 1.8LX = chav mobile cos it was lowered and had an ear bleeding sterio

v6 mondeo = mundano due to it being a mondeo

yugo 55 = the tank or the skip (people laughed at that car but i bought it/insured it/taxed it/fixed it with my own cash from a sat job at sainsburys and it was all i could afford at 17 ... it was the most indestructible car i have ever owned almost impossible to break if you ignore the big end bearing going, used to play at jumping it on a the humback bridges near my parents)

" 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.

my wife calls it a roller skate !

Just 'The Westfield'. It's always an 'it' too. No him or her references.

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..... :d

Mines called Winky, named so by my mate as apparently I'm always playing with it!

Westford

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 :d )

 

Horse Box (Iveco 7.5ton) ="Yorkie" (don't all lorry drivers eat them?)
