......... 
and why........'Eago'(red 88 MK1) 
- kinda lame (no - very lame), but it's how I refered to her. Only because the plate ends in BUU - "Betty Boo""Track Car" term is used a fair bit between Jo and I too. She loves being teased and abused - alot 
| 99 528i SE Touring | 01 Mandarin VX220 I call Betty the 'Track b*tch' cause she takes the abuse 'the tango' (obviously 
)
'Marty' which seemed the fit well with the letters. I've got a black Audi A6 called 'Spook' (because it looks like an MI5 staff car), before that I had a MkIV Golf GTI called 'Nessie' (big green and a bit of a monster), before that was a silver one called 'Otto' (just sounded big fat and German), before that was a Rover 414SLi which didn't have a name as it was utterly without soul (hmmm, fairly OK car but dull), before that a Jetta called 'Morris' (Lou my other half thought it looked like an Ital) and my very first car was a Polo called 'Genevieve' simply cos it's a car name and there was a G in the numberplate......& Dragons cartoon. On the basis they are both 80s beasts but you wouldn't want to mess with them! oh yeah, and they both roar!'The Beast' ... well, there's no other way to describe it really 
(RIP) was called Teabag...mainly cos i'd rather have someone slap their nuts in my face than have it back!....for almost a month I was without it and, having crashed Teabag (RIP) 2 weeks previously through completely my own fault, i was a little bit disheartened by everything..and anything.(think Austin Powers!). And that was before Clarkson gave the name to some yellow thing? Astra-cupra-clio-leon? Nice. 
"PIGGY BANK" 
= the old one, the mk1, the gray one 
( similarly inventive ) = the new one, the white one, the mk2 I've never really named cars before, but Murray the MR2 seems quite fitting. Limeymk1 wrote:What I call my Mk1 is unrepeatable in civilised company!
Love her really.
Should really be Élan with the number plate? (Failing that anyone knows a Lotus driver wanting to give me silly money for it? )
the OWL on good days but FOWL on bad.All to do with the number plate.CazAW11 wrote:Murray
Everyone keeps telling me cars are always female, but I don't think mine is.
... 
of course they are female 
... this is because they are reliable, dependable, dont let you down and are great fun to be with 
and always there when you need cheering up ...AND... they cost you a fortune .... but are worth every penny ... I call mine Mable (but dont tell anyone I said so, specially not the car! ) and this is because "her" reg is MBL but mostly I refer to it as "the two"Grendel wrote:O that was your CAR in the garage I thought it was an expensive stereo cum coffee table?
I'm allowed to call her an expensive stereo! Tsk the cheek of it!
