Whats yours called and why!

[Gary Taylor]

Plain and simply “Tommy” after my dad who encouraged me in all sorts of car naughtiness and never got his own “7” due to me arriving 

[Jim G]

‘Rosie’ because the wife likes to name things..

My first one was called jenny after my mum it had her initials on the number plate hadn't realised until i got it it home. Second one was call jenson because he was more hard-core same reg. This one is called Dev spotted his name on the inlet manifold

Mine was nicknamed “Brum” by my eldest sons, at the time, girlfriend.  As most of you know, Brum is a kids TV programme featuring a two seater yellow car with a face.....

I was less than amused and now the name appears to have stuck as the wife hates the car and knows the name annoys me!!!

The first passenger in my car after the build was my mate Mick.

At the time Mick had recently been diagnosed with MND (or ALS as the Mercans call it) - but I call it 'worst nightmare syndrome'.

Anyway - I took Mick out for a run and at the end he looked up at me and said - "thanks Chris, it's been a while since I've had something to smile about - and that really did make me smile"

I was well chuffed that he'd enjoyed the blat and he said "so, what do you call her?"

I replied "I've not got a name - any suggestions?" - to which he pondered a bit and replied "Scarlet".

So, Scarlet it is - in memory of my great mate Mick who sadly passed away just before Xmas last year.

One of my favourite places and also the location of my favourite whiskey is the western Isles of Scotland and more specifically one very small island famed for its Peaty whiskey.

Therefore being a Westy, “Islay” seemed to fit the bill!

Probably a bit boring but I call mine "the Westfield" because it is the Westfield. 

I'm with you mate, these people are odd.
