What do you call your car and why.

Hornet, as it has a nasty sting in its tail if you get a bit complacent :d

Mine is called RITA because she is the Queen of Speed. Before I bought her I had to go to Alton Towers and go on the ride of the same name to have the same kind of fun.

 

It worked out a lot cheaper just to buy a Westfield you see.

Usually, if it's a cold morning and it won't start it's called " you little s*****g"....

Full chat on a summers day "you little beauty".

My first car,mk1 Ford Escort, was called Troffimov taken from a Monty Python sketch. Never given a name to another.

A friend's wife called the Westfield Tango, because its orange, then asked me if it's safe, and legal.

Mr Toad. Several years back, when planning a visit, my Mum asked me if I would be coming in the Mr Toad car. The name stuck. Also 'cause he is green and has big 7" chrome bug eye headlights. Nothing to do with my Toad of Toad Hall driving style. :)

I am amazed at the names we call the cars and why

Think we should start a thread on why we call our kids names and why

My SEiGHT got tagged as the ASBO.......I just didn't expect it to be my son that would come up with it..... We had a great little blat about on a Saturday, all polite and well mannered..... until I got a little frustrated with a young lad in a Focus ST that was trying to 'mate' his car with mine..... So I gave it the obligatory right foot full and got a little caught out with the slide...... so me being on the daft side of stupid kept the foot modestly buried and drove out of the slide, shuffled up the gears and drove off into the sunset...... I just happened to look left and My son had a mahoosive grin on his chops...... he looked over to me and said 'this thing is the original ASBO'...

Most often just the Westie.

But also Onliest and the Yellow Peril.

Occasionally Stinky.

Also referred to as the 'lardy car' due to it being one of the heavier Westies in the Speed Series.

One of my American friends was really interested in the Westie as he likes old TRs and the like. First thing he asked was "how heavy is it, 1,700 lbs?"

My reply was "Only if you were sat in it..."
