Anyone named their car?

[BlueZ4]

Just wondering what everyone has named their car and why. I looked for this topic and couldn't find anything. I'll go first.

Always been a big fan of the Star Ocean series for PS and Xbox. The most recent one had a character named Meracle, who was blue and had cat ears and she ended up being my favorite character. So I named my car Meracle for the cat ear-like roll bars, the size, the bite and the blue color. (Shown below)

It's kinda Asian of me I think, but the name fit for me.

Any other takers? 8)

Specially for my wife call my Zed....'Mine'

No, it's a car!

Can't even bring myself to refer to it the 'Zed', makes me cringe.

Used to have a VRS Octavia and the Skoda forum folk used to refer to it as an Octy and a Fabia as a Furby....big cringe on both counts.

Nicknames should (IMO) be unique to owners of Mini's & Beetle's.

Mine's "überskate" - mainly because my M5 was "überbarge".

My coupe is Hansel, and my wife's 328xi (currently my winter car too) are known as Hansel and Grretel (my wife's spelling).

Mostly because of this Bugs Bunny cartoon...

But of course, mine is "Bridget II". (named after a hot little b*tch that liked to tease and get you in trouble)

I was thinking about starting this thread last week.

My current 23i is the first car I bought brand new, so I named it "Shadowfax". Maniac calls his 35i "The Beast".

You should call your's Donkey

Shadowfax was white, and was the greatest of all horses.

Surely you owe it to this great steed to repaint/wrap your car and put in the twin-turbo engine out of the 35is.

I know it has the smallest engine.

I found the following on the internet to describe it "Shadowfax was a beautiful horse. In the daylight his coat appeared silver, while at night it was a shadowy grey that made Shadowfax nearly invisible in the dark. He was light-footed and extremely swift and could run great distances without tiring".

Shadowfax is not really a white horse.

I call my car....."the bloody hard to keep clean" :roll:

Depends whether you're talking about the book or the film horse

The horses of the Nine cannot vie with him; tireless, swift as the flowing wind. Shadowfax they called him. By day his coat glistens like silver; and by night it is like a shade, and he passes unseen. Light is his footfall!

Never named a car shes just known as The Z and my Calibra was The Old Girl

My 'names' are just alternative tags. So instead of saying "I'll be down in the M5, or the Z4MC.", I'll say "I'll be down in the überbarge, or the überskate.".

My pets don't get given names either. My goldfish was called 'fish', the hamster is called 'hamster', and the cat was called 'cat'.

 

[Greytay]

Never named our cars......although they have lots of names when the bloody things dont start..........although one of our lads refers to the rover streetwise as the MG...never had the heart to put him right

Mine's called The Weasel, I also talk to him










(yes I do realise this is slightly mental)

My better alf insists on naming cars- her beetle convertible is called annabelle and apparently ( and much to my refusal) the z is called tarquin as it's posh!
