We have two cars.

The Volvo is 'mine'

The wife's called 'yours'

When we go out I'll say 'shall we take 'mine' or 'yours'. Simplesssss!

The wife names all our cars, usually the name has something to do with their registration plate.

Unfortunately my V70 has the reg LFW........... my first name is Lee........ it shouldn't take much imagination to work out which particular words she's chosen for FW.

How much do they charge for a divorce nowadays :-)

Hello

See signature!

Various things have “developed” names:

“J Edgar" - the hoover

"Heironymous" - theBosch washing machine

The rabbit (behave - it was a Netherlands Dwarf) was called "Mouse"

We've found that names that stick are the ones that seem to grow on a thing...

doingitsideways · Mar 18th, 2012, 18:44

Yep, all my cars have had names.

Car in my Sig is "Tucker", but I'm not imaginative enough to have thought that one up all by myself, I inherited it from it's previous owner!

The 940 is called "The Pink Peril", as... Well, it's salmon pink!!

The S80 is called "Kitt" as it has more toys than a certain Trans-am as driven by a leather clad, curly haired, incredibly annoying in recent years, lanky streak of p1ss!!

I voted yes, but I wanted to vote You Cannot Be Serious considering my signature banner.

Quote:

My wife has Rita Renault. I choose to refer to it by a number of pseudonyms, none of which should be seen in print!

When my wife had her minivan, I always referred to it as the Blue Behemoth.
