My first car was called "Brum" - but my ex decided to call it "Crum" because it kept CRUMbling around my ears!

Poor little Punto :(

It's still going!!

Anywhoo...the Focus is/was called Freddie. Again, partly because of my ex - she bought a Fiesta a few weeks after I got the Focus, and decided to call her Frankie. So of course, the Focus needed a name too.

However, I have NEVER called the car anything other than "car" lol

Ive had my car 9+ years, ive pulled it apart and put it back together, and when i put it back together, i changed a lot of it, putting a lot of my ideas into it - untill its the only one of its kind

I almost feel ashamed that its only called "my car" "the car" "the Mondeo" i suppose a while back when i kept turning the Boost pressure up too high and blowing the boost hoses off i had other names for it - none printable here, though! :lol:

No names from me been driving nearly 40 years and never given a car a name other then the one the manufacturer] gave it.

My daughter does, her Punto was Pluto and her Clio is Colin. No I don't understand either!

'Kiwi' because of the number plate- HKA. Haka, Kiwi's. Sad but she's known as that by a lot of my friends now.

haha, I have a list of cars and names:

Citroen AX - 95 - Duncan

Fiesta 54 - Greg

Focus 55 - Frederick (it was a better class of car compared to the other two - certainly to what I was used to - so we thought he would be referred to by full name)

Ceed 10 - Kerry - The horn was wussy and cack, I will explain my reasonings below and want to emphasise this is not sexist at all :p - so I thought it was better having a womans name.

CMAX 55 - Alex - Not entirely sure why

Mondeo 57 - Mindel - Because one of the guys on the forum mistyped mondeo, and it stuck.. Plus with my luck it seems if my car has a ladies name (such as Kerry above) the car has no real issues and behaves itself).

I tend to go on the basis of using the cars horn to determine if its a male or female car, so for example, if its a deep beefy horn, then it tends to be a bloke. If its horn is more of a gentle nature, or is in Kerry's case a very timid and quiet example, then I tend to refer to it as a woman.

On this ocassion though, Mindel is a pleasure to drive, and since I want her to look after me, I thought I would nominate her to be a woman, but in the event that I need to use the horn, she knows how to tell the idiot ahead to get off the effin jeffin road! :p

Imaginatively, my mk7 Fiesta van is known as The Van. Because it's a van, y'see. Even my accountant calls it The Van.

I have no real say in MY CARS names

98 Fiesta Ghia -Tango- to this day i have no idea, GF named that one

54 Focus 1.8TDCI -Roary- Cause my little boy used to think it was a racing car, and there is a children TV program called Roary the Racing Car

11 C-Max -Casper- The car has a auto park function which my boy is convinced is done by a ghost, but not a nasty ghost, hence Casper the friendly Car

Afraid I still got to operate the pedals, but from the back seat where my boy sits, he is none the wiser and I'm not going to break the illusion.

Don't think I could trust it parking it self fully
