  Do you have a name for your car?

  em-ster Joined on 23-May-2007 United Kingdom Posts 521

  Contact I ask because I've recently ordered a new car and collect on Monday. Whilst I can't wait for the new one, I'll be sorry to see Tina (!) my current car go. It made me realise that H and I have named each of the cars we have owned since being together. We've currently got a big black truck called Terry, an old VW that H shows called Herman and Tina the Puma who is heading for pastures new. Previous cars have included Peter the Passat, Gidget the Ka, Wolfie the Golf and Brum the Bora This is something I'd never done before meeting H and wondered if I / we were alone (and possibly slightly mad!)

  flissy666 Joined on 03-Jan-2009 Yorkshire Posts 979	Contact I call my Beetle 'The Meepster' - which it finds a bit emasculating given its v5 engine, poor thing!   I bought a Hetty hoover because she was pink, and we now say 'the house needs Hetty'ing' rather than 'the house needs hoovering'!

  Sare Joined on 23-Jun-2001 By the seaside Posts 10,716	Contact I'm getting an i20 in a couple of weeks so I need to choose a name. However, I think I'll have to see him before I choose one. And yes, unlike most people I think cars are male. Hector the Hyundai or Ivor the i20 maybe.

  Dooby Joined on 09-Jun-2004 Jersey, Channel Islands Posts 7,897	Contact My clio's called Ruby - she's ultra red and the song Ruby Ruby Ruby was very popular when I bought her.  Before that I had Gina who was french, dark metallic orange and pretty fizzy in the engine department - so Orangina or Gina seemed to fit.

  Canadian Liz Joined on 03-Nov-2004 Canada Posts 9,915	Contact Yes. My first car was called Heart of Gold, because (Hitchhiker's Guide nerd alert) every drive was an improbability. Now I belong to and work for a car share group and I have named some of our cars as well. There's Voodo Child and Prima Donna, for example.
