OK, admit it, I'm sure we all have names for our Pride's & Joy.. (Guys, I mean the cars by the way) My Cab 504 is called Peggy..
In fact I've always named my cars, I've had a 'BB', a 'Willow' (inherited that one), a 'Colin', a 'Captain', an 'Aggi', and an 'Alan'...etc etc
In my opinion the name should always relate to the make or model, hence 'Peggy the Peugeot'.
I'm always surprised when I meet people who've never considered giving their cars a name... ..But maybe I'm alone on this one... ..someone please back me up..!

ha! My firsst ever car - a mk1 Renault 5 850cc was called Hannibal (for some forgotten reason). After that no cars I've had have had names until the ZS, which I call "the ZS" and my wife and two girls call "the Toot-Toot Car"
how dignified.

I'm not sure why, but having read this thread last week, I woke up this morning and thought that my new car should be called Bozo
