Do you name your cars?

[Blue Rose]

Just wondering if any of you name your cars & do you have a story behind it?

My 1st car was a mini called Micky. (Minnie & Mickie, lol)

Another 1 was called Ozwald. It was green & I was thinking up shades of green. I came up with Emerald, then, through word association, went to Emerald City, Wizard of Oz, Oz, Ozwald.

I know, my brain works in strange ways sometimes, lol

Of course!! You mean there are people who don't name their cars!!!!??? :lol:

A (very) old Vauxhall Viva called Fanny
A white Ford Escort called Minge (registration ended MNJ)
A Fiat Panda called Chi-Chi (whatelse would you call a panda?)
A Ford Fiesta called Fester
A purple Suzuki vitara called Barney (he looked like the barney the kids thing)
A red Ford Mondeo called Scarlet
A caravan called Vanessa

I've currently got Cory the Streetka (because the numberplate is COR), and I did have Polly the Punto. For some reason I never named my KA.

My partner has had Vera the Vectra, Foxy the Focus and now has Stacey the Subaru.

 

[Ruth Mills]

Talking of numberplates, I am well chuffed with the one on the Hippy Wagon, as it ends with 9UTH (which almost spells Ruth) - I am going to keep that numberplate, even if the hippy wagon ends up at that big festival in the sky one day...
