Norman Verona Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 We know the honorable captain calls his car "The Wench" but do you have names for your cars. HM has. The 7 is Katy Caterham Th Midget is madge the Midget. The Lotus (Elan) was Lottie Lotus The Elise was Ellie Elise The Audi is Audry Audi The ride on mower is Herbie (I now say "I'm cutting grass on Herbie today" (I've added "car" for clarification, Norman - I don't refer to Lady C as "The Wench", as I have a strong allergy to involuntary blood donation and hospital food - Scott) So I better add the "k" to "now" to get "know". I've just been reminded that I do have names for HM. "Sh1tface", and "Snodgrass" (don't know why). Her name for me is usually "ar5ehole features". What a loving couple!

Vinny's Westie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 When we had a caravan it was 'Bertie the Bowl-along' All other cars are generally, if they are okay, 'Not bad for a Gambo' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fangi0 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I know, sad isn't it. But my green westfield is Henry (after Henry the green engine in the tank engine stories) Mind you it gets called lots of other things mostly unprintable. My old TR was Mo My brother's TVR was Trevor (obvious reasons). His old Elan was Bloater, can't think why. The list is long I like Gerry Marshall's name for his Vauxhall V8 monster Big Bertha (named after 43 ton 1914-18 howitzer that could fire a 2,200 lb shell over 9 miles, some ironically made by Skoda!).

fatbaldbloke Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 My last westie was orange and green when I bought it, so my daughter christened it "Carrot". It was then resprayed orange and blue, but still kept the nickname, which was a tad confusing to anyone not in the know. Mind you, the same daughter has a 3 wood in her golf bag she calls Willy, so she can announce when she's on the tee, I'm going to hit this one with my Willy.... ah, the benefits of a University education.....

davidgh Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 We do . . . . . "Marmelade" (sic) -- it's orange "Ladybug" -- it's red and black .. .. and the Westy pictured below is "Tonic" -- no reason apart from it's an acronym for "The New Car" with some vowels chucked in . . . .
